Winners! News! Challenge Updates! Jan. 29 - Feb. 4

It's time again for a weekly update on giveaways winners, any news that might be of interest and my challenge update for the week. This post has really been a lot of fun to do so far and it's keeping me up to date getting those giveaway's closed out and off my sidebar!

WINNERS!

This week we had four giveaways end. All four were for cozy mysteries and the prizes will be sent out directly from the publisher. I want to thank everyone for participating and I hope you've taken a chance to sign up for the 2012 Cozy Mystery Challenge if you are interested in this kind of reading... it's one of my favorite sub-genres! Winners will be notified later today and publishers the following week.

NEWS!

I don't have a whole lot of bookish wisdom to impart this week. But I would like to mention that I did notice that several people are having trouble posting giveaways to facebook, because of a spamming error. I really don't know what the problem is, it happens with some giveaways and works for others. All I can tell you is that when it works I'll give you credit for it and when it doesn't work, it doesn't work for anyone, so you aren't losing anything. Hopefully, I will be able to resolve the issues and in the meantime, twitter is an excellent way to post giveaways and is quite easy.

No problem Carol if you've seen the message you've obviously tried to post to FB.

The problem is being caused by the site that hosts my background and that's one thing about my blog... I do not want to change, soooo try to post sometimes it will allow it, sometimes it won't!
