Winners of The Name Game Contest!

I was going to wait until Wednesday to post this, but it seemed silly when the contest ended yesterday.

First, another big thank you to everyone who took the time to participate, and everyone who follows this blog!  April seems to be a crazy month and I'm truly grateful to anyone who humored me by playing my little made up game.

Now- the winners!

With a whopping EIGHT out of ten correct, the ARC of Meg Cabot's Abandon and a copy of Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve goes to:

Kristin Rae at Kristin Creative!

The lucky re-tweeter who'll get an ARC of The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch and a copy of What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell is:

Susan Oloier at Memoirs of a Writer!

And- I'd also thrown in a bonus round, offering a mystery prize to a lucky contestant who took a stab at naming my husband.  I think this might have been my favorite part of the competition.  I laughed hysterically at all the suggestions, but only because I can't associate him with any name other than the one on his birth certificate: Domenick.

We DO call him Dom, and there was a guess of Sam.  So, because they're both three letters and end in M, I'm awarding an ARC of Patrick Carman's novel, Floors to:

Elizabeth Briggs at Liz Writes!


Congrats to the winners!  Please e-mail your info to me at gina(dot)ciocca(at)yahoo(dot)com. 

And now, the answers!

1-Tricia, 2-Anthony, 3-Lisa, 4-Samantha, 5-Michael, 6-John, 7-Christina, 8-Tod, 9-Lisa, 10-Diana


It was so much fun to see how you all perceived them.  Thanks again, everyone!
