"Let's help the elves" Giveaway - Winner

So, Christmas has come and gone, and it's time for cleaning up, eating the leftovers and coo over the amazing presents I'm sure everyone received. Oh, wait, there is something else that has to be done, isn't there?

Of course there is! The winner of the Let's help the elves giveaway!

But before I tell you actually won this one, here are some stats:

Most people said they were good or at least more good than naughty, but there are quite a lot that were naughty and proud of it! But since I always like the naughty ones in books, I won't crossed them from Santa's list.

And what people wanted the most for Christmas? Well, it was rather surprising. People asked for books. Or bookshelves. Or eReaders. Really, people? All you want for Christmas is books and book related stuff? Great! Me too!

So, now that these stats are over with, it's time for a winner. Let's click the button on the Rafflethingy and cross my fingers that I get picked...oh wait, I'm the hostess in this one.

And....drumroll please... wait, it seems there's more clicking involved, keep on with that drumroll, for a while and...

Here it is! The winner is:

Veronika who wanted books for Christmas, so she'll get one more from Spoilers and Nuts. I will be emailing you soon!


And that's all for now. There will be reviews coming (hopefully, I'm soooooo behind those) and during this week I'm doing the Top 10 of 2011 - so, a post every day - speaking of which, I have to prepare some of those...
