It's time to announce the winner of my very first Pay It Forward Book Exchange!

Before I make the announcement, I want to thank each and every one of you for your interest in this concept. I was so excited to see your enthusiasm and I was tickled pink to see others offering books of their own to "pay forward". Thank you all!

Okay, now for the moment you've all been waiting for! The winning name pulled from the hat this morning was Jill at The Diaper Diaries.

Congratulations Jill! Now, I just need you to email me your mailing address so I can get this book, Lucky by Alice Sebold sent out to you. And I'll be touching base with you in about a month to see if you're ready to Pay It Forward by hosting your own book giveaway!

I'd like to bring your attention to the other giveaways that have resulted:
