Finally! Sorry for the delay in posting the winners to March’s bookpile contests*. The challenge was a pile to do with spring, Women’s History Month, or Small Press Month. And trust me, I needed the extra time, it was hard to pick from all the incredible pictures!
And without further delay, the winner (who gets a $50 gift certificate to Abebooks) is…**
Goodsoul (Flickr user PhotoSensate) wins for this mother-inspired book pile. It’s fantastic. I say no more, you must go read the description yourselves.
The runners up, who each receive an annual membershp to LibraryThing, are:
Runner up one. How could you not love Pesky Library’s contribution: Spring Chicks dig Chick Lit!

For runner up number two, by vonlafin I loved this spring greenhouse photo—and nothing says spring like dirt!

I’ve added a third runner-up, just for this last photo, about all the projects planned for spring, from dieting to gardening to learning Italian to reading in a hammock. I love it.
There were just too many good entries to display just the winners, so here are a few more favorites.
HerStory was very creative, and full of history!

“What we call women” by roseread is a really neat look at book titles…
And lastly, a shout-out to our only submission featuring small press books, by leennnadine.

Be watching for our next contest, which is a big one…
*I was dealing with my own personal book-piling (rather, piling boxes of books), since I spent the last week moving into a new apartment.
**All winners, please email me so I can pass along the prizes! (abby@librarything.com). Actually, if I’ve posted a picture of your bookpile, email me with your LT user name, so I can include it in the blog post!
