Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who showed interest in and supported Adventure Reading this time around!
Being absent on here wasn't great timing on my part for holding a contest, but at the same time it kept me super excited to come back and read about what other people are reading. The participants did a wonderful job sharing their feelings about the book in their hands, and I felt drawn into each location - I felt like I was right there reading alongside each of you!
's humorous and detailed description totally sold me on it, while also giving a lovely overview of her experience at the cafe.
has proven herself a valuable community addition to this contest. She was ready to go with a new entry at the beginning, and she commented on and upvoted all the other participants. I was impressed by the level of involvement from everybody who participated - I love seeing your names pop up as I browse between entries! 
also gets a mention here, and I will be rewarding some of my out-of-pocket prize as a bonus to him.
8.5 SBD from me + 1.061 SBD from first post + 3.119 SBD from update post = 12.68 SBD
Split equally three ways = 4.23 SBD
Plus 1.5 SBD from me distributed as a bonus
As promised, I also 100% upvoted every participating post.
I will be sharing more about what that is on Steemit, but I'm also powering through catch-up work on my programming projects so I don't know when exactly that will be.
