    You know I resent the fact that geography is not letting me participate. I think you should add Bulgaria to the list. Just a suggestion. *GRIN*

    Anyway, generous as always. :)

    Just found out about your site yesterday thru your guest dare featuring The Warrior’s Apprentice. I love, love, love Miles and Cordelia and Aral and all the others in the Bujold universe.
    Have been reading romances for to many years to count and would love to win either of the batches but batch one looks especially good.
    Thank you so much for offering these

    Agh! Totally off-topic (and don’t enter me) but I usually like Alex Ross’s artwork, but his Flash has to be the douchebaggiest looking Flash ever.

    That is all.

      Steampunk Week

      About Us

      We are two completely obsessed, sad, sick addicts when it comes to books. Faced with threats and cynicisms from our significant others and because of the massive amounts of time and money we spend at Amazon.com, we resorted to getting books delivered to our offices and then smuggling them into our homes (in huge handbags) to avoid detection. Here we found a perfect outlet for our obsession! Reviews, recommendations, and other ponderings are our specialty.
