Countdown to Summer 2013 Winners!

 

We want to thank the Countdown authors and our LDSWBR followers for making the Countdown to Summer 2013 a great experience. We read every comment and enjoy getting to know you better through your answers and stories.

We love seeing the familiar names of so many loyal LDSWBR followers and we want to give a warm welcome to our new followers. We’re so happy to have you join us and hope you’ll visit often!

Before we announce the winners, we want to give a big “THANK YOU!” to the talented and generous authors who participated and donated their books as prizes for the Countdown. They are a wonderful group of people and I encourage all of you to give their books a read. I have no doubt you will find some new favorites.

For those of you who are curious about the winner selection process, here it is in a nutshell:

1. Each comment is time stamped and logged in a database according to date & time.
2. Using a sequence generator on random.org, the winners are determined by moving down the randomly generated list of numbers and coordinating them with the row numbers in the database.
3. First number on the list is the grand prize winner. The remaining prizes are awarded in the order listed on the Countdown posts. If an entrant has already been awarded two prizes, that prize is given to the next number on the sequence list.

That was probably more than you cared to know, but there you go. And now it’s time to announce the winners of the Countdown to Summer 2013!!
