Dreaming of Books Giveaway WINNER!!!

One of MY best dreams is to make friends all over the world, all over history, all over the imaginary lands. As always, I am going to highlight some great follower's answers.

We are a very diverse bunch:

There are some werewolves: 
I am a werewolf out in the country with lots of room to run around and a peaceful house that I share with my family. ;)

 Meghan Page
I'm a normal person who doesn't yet know that I am the destined mate of the werewolf leader, somewhere in ireland :)


Some talented butt-kickers: 
 TayteH
Hmm.....my name's Noella, and I'm a butt-kicking ice deity in the middle of Russia.
:D
Thank you!

I would be Charley Davidson from Darynda Jones' Grave series! She is a kick butt grim reaper. She is very outgoing, fun and hilarious! Everything I wish I was, well....except for the grim reaper part, LOL.

I'm always in a forest, and I'm always back to back with a male who's a good foot taller than me with shoulders broader than mine. And we're surrounded by other males who we know are going to cause us harm. But we're not afraid, because when fighting back to back, we can seriously kick a$$, and as though we have done it a thousand times before, we *know* the others thoughts, the others moves before they're made and it's a synchronised ballet rather than a tossing of unruly fists and feet. Those guys watching us? They better watch out, baby.

Thanks for the great giveaway. It was a lot of fun. :o)

 A few making life better for the rest of us: 

 Lisa Richards/alterlisa
I'm Eve Dallas from JD Robb's In Death series and I'm on my hub's private island soaking up the rays after taking down yet another murdering scumbag in NYC.
 Jasmine Rose
I'm a secret agent posing as a postal worker so I can get access to all the rich upper-eastside homes and their nefarious inhabitants.

And plenty of Dreamers:

Great question as I have a reoccurring dream that I wish was a book. I'm a warrior queen, with two double edged swords. My husband, for whatever reason, always shows up as a white horse (true story). And one of my best friends is still alive and ahead of us at the edge of a cliff fighting off orcs, of course as the hero I save him before he perishes. I cherish this dream because that friend of mine is gone now.

I would be Tally from the series Uglies, fighting off the evil people who want mindless sheep at their bidding. Well, I'm just Julie from Texas. But hey, a girl can dream :D

 Dea S.
I'm Princess Isaboe from The Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta. The long-lost princess of the forsaken land of Lumatere. I spent years and years finding Finnikin and his father to lift off the curse that had once befallen our homeland. Only me, the heir to the throne and the remaining royal blood of Lumatere, along with Finnikin can save our people and free them from the tyrant and cruel impostor king.

Well this was fun! Thanks for the giveaway!!

And one of these on a faraway planet: 

 Rea
I am a fire-wielding elementalist - on some dying planet, in a forgotten corner of an unnamed solar system - destined to make a stand against the corruption of The Guardian.


If there had been a contest of winningest Dream Worlds, it would have been the Harry Potter series hands down... followed distantly by Forks, Katniss, Graceling & Cinder.

I have shared some random creativity here randomly. Thank you to everyone who participated!!  And thank you more for following my Blog!
