Bookapalooza Giveaway Winners

Oh ye (I’m looking at YOU, @thatneilguy) of little faith. You thought I might never get around to posting last week’s Twitter #fridayreads Bookapalooza winners…

First, why Bookapalooza? Because the wonderful Twitter users who chime in each week on Friday Reads to share their reading choices with the rest of the Twitterverse raised the roof: For the FIRST TIME, we got to over 700 participants. 

For each 500-participant Friday, I give away two ten-book hardcover bundles. Since we reached 600, I’ll give away FOUR of those this week. Keep reading for those…

However, since we reached 700 (!!!), I have something special. Five of you will receive five-book bundles of brand-new titles from five of the best imprints out there. So the ten-book folks get potluck, but you five Bookapalooza folks? You get a gourmet selection. Would you like to know what you’ll receive? Here you go:

• Taroko Gorge by Jacob Ritari from Unbridled Books (@unbridledbooks)
• Three Sisters by Bi Feiyu from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (@hmhbooks)
• The Girl Who Fell from the Sky by Heidi Durrow from Algonquin Books (@algonquinbooks)
• The French Revolution by Matt Stewart from Soft Skull Press (@softskull)
• The Improper Life of Bezellia Grove by Susan Gregg Gilmore from Crown (@crownpublishing)

Isn’t that a tasty group of books? 

First, the FOUR ten-book grab-bag giveaway winners:
