August Winners!

It's that time of the month.  No not that time of the month!  LOL!  It's the last day of the month and here at My Little Pocketbooks that means it's time to announce the winners of all the giveaways.  With all the giveaways starting and stopping it's soo much easier to just do one winner post a month.  Just saving a few step.  Let me say a big THANK YOU to all you for stopping by, commenting, following and entering the giveaways!  
So now on to the August winners.  There were a total of 13 giveaways this month and 44 winners.  Congratulations goes out to a ton of people...

Operation TBR Reduction was created and is hosted by Stephanie at Once Upon a Chapter to reduce the number of books current in her/my/our houses.  
Whatever comes in...more has to go out!

Why I Love Wednesday #22

Alexis from Reflections of a Bookaholic started a Wednesday Meme called Why I Love Wednesday. Hop on over to Alexis' blog and join in the fun.  Since I have been to busy to keep up with this meme, I decided to borrow Jade from Sort of Beautiful idea and do one post for the month.  I am not stealing the idea ya'll!  I asked her ahead of time.  :)

Challenge: Operation TBR Reduction

Operation TBR Reduction Button

During Bout of Books Week I ran across this button and had to click it to see what it was all about and low and behold a Challenge with my name written all over it.  Honestly, this could be named "Alysia get some of these books read before you bring more books into the house challenge."  But that would be way to long!  And won't look so cute on this button.  
Stephanie at Once Upon a Chapter is just like so many of us book hoarders but is actually doing something about it.  Check out the details below:
