WINNERS: Pyr Book Giveaway!
The entries have been collected, shuffled and drawn!
The following people will receive the Pyr book of their choice, courtesy of Pyr books:
Janice Young, from New York (Justina Robson's Keeping It Real)
Morgan MacLeod, from Ontario (Justina Robson's Mappa Mundi)
Yes, I noticed both winners won a Robson book. No, I did not plan this. Yes, this amuses me GREATLY.
Many thanks to ALL who entered, and to all who pimped the giveaway in their various LJ's, blogs, and websites.
Now, for those of you who are interested in this sort of thing, here are some stats:
There was a total of 31 entries, which isn't bad at all (but what do I know, it's my first contest!). 16 of those entries were from women, and 15 of those entries were from men. Which I find very cool, even if it bores the rest of you.
Now, even MORE interesting to me was the breakdown of requests. Behind the cut is the number of "votes" that each book got.
Kay Kenyon's Bright of the Sky received 7 requests.
Lou Ander's Fast Forward 1: Future Fiction from the Cutting Edge received 5 requests.
Justina Robson's Quantum Gravity series received 4 requests.
Joe Abercrombie's The Blade Itself received 3 requests.
David Louis Edelman's Infoquake received 2 requests.
Michael Moorcock's The Metatemporal Detective received 2 requests.
Justina Robson's Mappa Mundi received 2 requests.
Joel Shepherd's Cassandra Kresnov series received 2 requests.
Sean Williams's Books of the Cataclysm series received 2 requests.
Ian McDonald's Brasyl received 1 request.
Adam Roberts's Gradisil received 1 request.
Thanks for helping make this so successful! Who knows? I might start doing giveaways on a regular basis! ;)
