I won a prize!

[eviltammy]

From my library for the adult summer reading club - I was a weekly winner, and still eligible for end of summer prizes :)

I won a book bag, a coffee mug, some coffee, a $5 gift card to an ice cream shop, a CD and my choice of 2 books.

The coffee is Colombian Supremo (from Book Junkies Java, which is something the library sells). Too bad I don't drink coffee :) or use mugs :)

The CD is "Kronos Quartet performs Philip Glass", which I'll listen to and then probably put up on SwapaCD.com - I'm not into classical, but I'll give it a try.

The two books I chose are Dead and Dateless by Kimberly Raye and Mumbo Gumbo by Jerrilyn Farmer, both of which appear to be hip, chicklit mysteries. (The other choices didn't appear very appealing ;> )  (And there's always Bookmooch.com :>  )

The book bag is nice - and free ice cream! Woo!  Niece tried to steal my gift card. Bad niece!

Each branch has an end of summer prize - a $50 gift card to Barnes & Noble - I'd love to get that. The county-wide grand prize I don't really care about, though it sounds nice - dinner for two at four different area fine dining restaurants (a $300 value).

::looks at her blue pottery mug::

Yes, I know :) but this one is one of those traveling mugs.

What does Colombian Supremo sound like to you? (Why am I asking - I don't even know how to make coffee!)

[taibhrigh.livejournal.com]

Like a regular black coffee. :)

Travel mugs work great for ice tea, hot tea, soda, water...

Conga-rats! :) Free stuff is always good.

I agree, coffee mugs make good pen holders.

If you don't want to keep the CD, I'd be interested in swapping for it. Let me know what kind of music you like and I'm sure we can come up with something.

Hard rock, alternative, heavy metal, and country :) I can't imagine I'll want to keep it - and besides, I can always rip it into iTunes :) and still send you the CD.
