Faizah's Destiny Blog Tour Winners

First, I thank all of you who left comments along the meandering road of my book's release tour. Those of you who stopped at multiple posts: You're the best!

Since some blog posts did not receive comments and others received lots of comments, I decided to put all the names in a plastic blue bowl (normally used for cereal) and draw seven (the number of posts on which comments were written). Each comment is an entry, so the more posts you visited, the more likely you are to win.

WINNERS!!!

If any of the above don't respond by the 20th (I sent notices on the 16th), I'll name replacement winners.
