Authors & publishers:
I've decided to stop accepting review copies. The downside of getting buried in free books is that reading increasingly becomes an obligatory act. After some seven years of blogging books, it's time for me to return to the simple pleasure of reading only the books I want to read, when I want to read them. The blog, however, will continue, and if you've got a good first line to share for TwitterLit please do so here.

Whippee! Thank-you Debra, Melissa and onlookers. I'm so excited. The Simple Plan sounds like just the kind of book I enjoy reading in the winter - a thriller/mystery.

Thank-you!

I'm happy you're so happy! The drawing was fun. Actually, I think I may have found the formula for future drawings: it makes so much sense (duh!) that I would give away one of the books currently recommended. I should have thought of this sooner!

Off to Amazon to place the order....
