Ladies and gentlemen, drum roll please!
A week plus ago I said I’d be doing my very first giveaway, and I was pretty pumped about it. Then I did another blogpost with the giveaway details, and the deadline when I had to get the answers by.
The task was to:
1. Open the last twelve posts on this blog
2. Pick the 5th word of the 6th paragraph in each post
3. Use these words to form a sentence.
Simple! The deadline was Tuesday the 18th of February, and I haven’t updated on this because I’ve had to do quite a bit of traveling in the past week.
I got many messages saying they were working on the answers to the one question @HL_Blue had, but one person took the time to actually do it all, and sent it in before the deadline. So, I have a winner!
My winner is IVY BEN! Congratulations! You get to use up ALL the prize money (on books), and you get one copy each of the books donated by my friends!
Email dfairygodsister(at)yahoo(dot)com with the list of books you want, and even though I’m in Nigeria at the moment, I’ll place the order for you, and we can start waiting till you get them!

FGS,I didn’t know we were to make a sentence with each word, I thought we were meant to use the words to make one sentence, cuz I actually picked out the words but gave up when they could not rhyme abi connect.
