A few days ago, I announced a book giveaway in celebration of this milestone. I asked readers and/or participants to name a book they think should win an award (any bookish award!) but didn't, for whatever reason. I also qualified that the giveaway is open only to Philippine residents and non-robots, which in my book means someone who is not a stranger. (Hey, it's my giveaway; I have the final say on this matter, yes?)

Anyway, the deadline for entries was at 11:59 pm yesterday, and there are four valid entries:

I commissioned the help of my darling daughter in picking the winner because I didn't want to use a randomizer this year. So, without further ado, here's the winner of this year's giveaway:

She just got out of her braids, hence, the curly hair.

Congratulations, TIN!

Let me know which book you want from The Book Depository, max amount of $20.00. Thank you to Angus, Benny, and Kristel for joining. Until the next blogiversary!
