Austen in August 2018 WINNERS!

I know this is the real moment you've all been waiting for when it comes to Austen in August: the announcement of winners! Below you'll find the list of those who won something in this year's Austen in August giveaways -- congrats to all our winners!!
Each giveaway is linked, so even if you didn't win, you can refresh your memory of the prizes on offer, and see which you want to go get your hands on yourself! Keep an eye on this space, just in case someone doesn't respond to claim their winnings, because in that case, new winners will be drawn.
BIG BIG THANKS to all of the amazing Janeites who offered up prizes this year! Austen in August would be nothing without you, and I am eternally grateful. Make sure you all support their work, whether that's buying it, checking it out from your library, adding it to Goodreads, or talking about it on Twitter!

THANKS AGAIN to everyone who contributed to this year's event, whether that be through a guest post, an interview, a giveaway, or plainly just reading, commenting and sharing! I couldn't do all of this without you (and it'd be pointless if I did!), and you all make the many, many hours of unpaid work worth it! ;)

THANK YOU!!


One last note before you leave: I do want to give a heads up for next year: Because it will be the 10th anniversary of Austen events on this blog, I intend (or at least, hope!) to make a Pretty Big Deal about things, and that includes the giveaways. But I noticed a trend this year (that has been growing for some time), and that is using throwaway "burner" accounts for giveaways, which is something I am...not a fan of, to say the least. I didn't disqualify those who did so this year, because I didn't warn that I would, but I consider this akin to "gaming the system," which is forbidden in my giveaawys — so next year, expect to see a ban on "giveaway only" Twitter accounts and such. Sorry if this cuts anyone out of the prize-getting, but that will be how giveaways are run here in future.
