    1. Thank you so much for your donation! You now have 50 entries! I do have to make sure that who ever wins the book club prize pack is indeed in a book club. So, I will make a note next to your entries that you're in a book club and will do the same for others who enter. It really is a great prize. Jane is a doll and so very generous. Have you ever met her?

    1. Thank you, Jackie. I really appreciate it. I hear you about not being in a book club. Mine died out last winter. I was hoping to get into another one, but am too busy at this point.

  10. Donated and shared on my Facebook page (and via email to my mom, aunts, and some friends!) This is such an awesome cause!! I hope lots of people participate. Thank you Book Mama Blog for hosting and also thanks to all the authors for donating books to help charity! I also don't have a book club, and rarely read ebooks, so please enter me into any of the other paper book giveaways :)
