Contest Winner: Me

Yesterday, I learned that I won the grand prize of a twitter-contest: over $300 worth of books from the University Press of Kentucky (@kentuckypress). I’m obviously very excited because all of the books are Kentucky-centric. If you have a twitter account, follow @kentuckypress (and me… @kaintuckeean). Check out the University Press of Kentucky anytime… they have a terrific collection of works and often a pretty good deal! Anyway, I’m looking forward to learning more and sharing with you. I’m most excited about the book pictured to the left – How Kentucky Became Southern – is a book which I’ve wanted to pick up but haven’t yet had the chance. I’ll be sure to read it soon now! The other books won are:

• The Kentucky Bourbon Cookbook
• Kentucky’s Natural Heritage: An Illustrated Guide to Biodiversity
• A Kentucky Christmas
• Kentucky Horse Country: Images of the Bluegrass (None)
• The Kentucky Bourbon Cocktail Book
• Out Of Kentucky Kitchens
• A is for Appalachia: The Alphabet Book of Appalachian Heritage
• Spookiest Stories Ever: Four Seasons of Kentucky Ghosts
