February Contest Results by Nancy Fraser #RomanceGems

I'm so pleased with the results this group accomplished for our first full month. As someone from the original group, I can say I'm blown away by the depth brought to us by our newest members. This past month's posts were insightful, touching, educational, and humorous.

A huge part of our success is due to our wonderful visitors who came, commented, came back again. They followed the blog, liked our Facebook Reader Page, and tweeted about our blog and our giveaway.

Here's hoping the friends we made along the way will continue to follow us, comment on our posts, and enjoy the conversation and information we share. As Joan said yesterday, we've got even more planned for March. Check out the "Monthly Giveaway" tab above for all the information!

Enough of my gushing.

Our weekly "Comment and Win" contest resulted in 248 comments from over 22 different entrants (our authors were excluded in the numbers) spread out over the four weeks. The weekly winners for a $5 Amazon gift card were:

Thank you again to everyone for their support!
