*That’s five official days but I’m also counting the extra days that Facebook friends got during the jump start.
**The current odds say each participant could win 3.77 books. Of course, I use Random.org to pick the winners, so some may win 1 and others may win 6. Or whatever.
Awesome! I just signed up!
