Can't post a review for a while but I did get permission to *tease* which I did above

[quote=""Brenna""]Congrats and can I say I hate you (in a totally "I'm super jealous you won a copy of a book I'm dying to read and can't wait until October" kind of way?)[/quote]

Hahaha! I don't know what I did right that time...

After a remarkably sh*tty day, I came home to the news that my indie has the book I ordered: Lady of the English, a whole month early! Oh joy! I am off to buy it, and then read it. I suspect I won't get much sleep tonight and thats perfectly ok with me!
