I owe you all an apology. Not only did I fall down on announcing the winners from last week’s contest, I utterly neglected to put up a new contest yesterday. In my defense I can only tell you that I’ve been uprooting and rearranging my office, and some days it was lucky that I could even find the dog in all the mess.

By way of compensation, though, I can tell you that I found all kinds of stuff while I was moving, and in the next week or two we may have a “Mir’s cluttered office” liquidation giveaway, where y’all get to win various books and samples I totally forgot I even had. So. There’s always that to look forward to.

Anyway, today the random number generator and I cozied up with a cup of coffee and selected the five winners of last week’s contest to win two Elizabeth Kostova novels. Hooray!

Without further ado, the winners are: TinaH (commenter 246), Krista (commenter 95), exile on mom street (commenter 151), glittersmama (commenter 134, and—last but not least—Karen (commenter 17). Congratulations, winners—please check your email!

Big thanks to all who played, and special thanks for the continued generosity of our friends at Hachette Book Group, who are singlehandedly keeping us all in awesome reading material these days.

Didn’t win this time? There’s always another chance coming up, don’t fret!
