Austen in August Winners & Thank Yous!!

Before I get into the meat of today's post, I just want to take a moment to apologize for the way Austen in August ended this year. It may have come in with a bang (maybe. I don't know your rubric for 'bang'), but it definitely went out with a whimper, and that was entirely my fault. I was mostly away from home that final weekend (hey! Turns out I'm going to be an aunt!), and thought had all of the posts finalized and scheduled. . . I did not.
When I realized on about Tuesday that no one had commented on any of the final posts, I discovered my error, and figured most AIAers had probably drifted out, and I might as well keep those final posts for next year, when everyone trickles back in.

SO. Misty fail.
Moving on. . .

I'm sure you all wanna know who won what, and hopefully, maybe it's you. BIG THANK YOU to everyone who offered up a prize for this year's Austen in August!! Even if you missed out on winning something, I'd highly recommend looking into these awesome books from their equally awesome authors.
But onto the good stuff.
