The universe must love me, because it recently gave me free books. A clerical error resulted in my receiving a box of books from Featherproof Books that I hadn’t ordered. The good-hearted, book-loving people at Featherproof then saw fit to let me keep the books. Why? Because they’re wonderful. Seriously. I already had a huge literary crush on this press before they told me to go ahead and keep the books. Now I think I might be in love. Go look at their list. Go on. Then come back, because I want to give you one of those books.
One of the books in that box is something I’d already bought from them: boring boring boring boring boring boring boring by Zach Plague. It’s waiting patiently on my to-be-read pile, and its time is coming soon. Which is to say that while I can’t yet give you a review of it, I can tell you I’m very much looking forward to reading it. I don’t need two copies, though. That would just be greedy, wouldn’t it?
Do you want it? Of course you do. Why wouldn’t you? Leave a comment (here. Not on Facebook or Twitter, so I can do the random number thing fairly), letting me know you want in on the drawing for the book. On Monday, March 15th (oooh…the Ides of March…) at 10a.m. PST (also known as post-preschool dropoff and mid-decaf Americano time) I’ll let the random number generator choose a winner.

I want it! I want it! (In fact, I’ll probably buy it post-March 15.)
Glad to hear on your previous post that all is well so far. Stay well, little one!

I’m throwing my hat in the mix! What a title!!
5 --Deb // Mar 10, 2010 at 3:48 pm
How can you resist a book with such a delicious title? (And of course it’s waiting patiently. What else has it got to do? Everything is so boring, boring, boring….) (grin) So, anyway, yes please. Enter me, too!

And thanks!

Well, my dear, I don’t usually enter a lot of blog contests, but I bought Scorch Atlas on your recommendation and it stunned me. So I trust your literary judgment!

Hey there! I would love a new book to read. I’ve been sending good thoughts your way.
22 Sandra // Mar 11, 2010 at 8:12 am
Books are one of my favourite things – next to family, friends and wool.
And I think this is a sign that all things are going well for you – can’t wait to meet that little girl you’re cooking.

Yes, please enter me in your drawing! I really haven’t felt too much like knitting lately and curling up with a good book sounds wonderful.

Oh, yes please! I’m anticipating being laid off and having plenty of time for catching up on reading.

Thanks for sharing the wealth!
Pardon my exclamation point abuse! Apparently, I’m enthusiastic today!

Consider my hat tossed as well. How can you not LOVE their logo?
PS Hope you’re well.
