Don't know why I didn't move to Wordpress sooner. I set the whole thing up one evening after work--five minutes to set up, and then a few more minutes to transfer the files from blogger. Getting the template up to speed took about three hours, but that's only because I was picky and unwilling to chuck my pretty pink foxglove. And most of that time was me futzing with the graphics, the colors, and the background for blockquote (it still ain't right...) So, Carrie, <i>join us...</i> Happy to oblige, Lorelie.

Does that mean I'm in the club too? On another note, I'm quite happy you've moved to Wordpress Bettie. :) That means I can read you at work, where I do *most* of my blog surfing. (Blogger addresses are blocked by our IT. Dunno why.) Now if only Carrie would move . . . Mine came today! Does that mean I’m in the club too?

Look at it this way, <b>Sarai</b>, at least you'll have time to prepare. Clear the schedule, tell loved ones that you require several hours of uninterrupted time to get your read on. People keep interrupting my reading. They expect me to do things like work (just because they pay me--<i>hmph!</i>) or talk to them (just because we're married--<i>double hmph</i>). It's very frustrating.

Yay for our special club!

Thanks! Now I'll be on tenterhooks until I know what you thought. Minor correction: I <i>do</i> live in Mexico City (well, Naucalpan, actually), but Tumperkin's ARC will not be affected by the Mexican postal service. Sherry's mailing the ARC from Oklahoma. which means it won't be signed, but it'll arrive faster (theoretically). If you want it signed, I can mail a signed bookplate. Ooooh, pimpage. Thanks!

Wait, does that make everyone feel less special now? Oh now, wait, we're a club. Yay for our special club! And it's mostly the Mexican postal system you have to worry about, T. She lives in Mexico City :) You know a book is interesting when my husband looked over my shoulder, kinda curious-like, and asked, "Have you read it?" It was the voice that said, "Hmm, I'm interested, but I want to know if it'll be worth the time spent away from the Internet." Not many books do that for him these days. I got one too.

The excerpts quoted in their review made my spine tingle. I can't wait for it to arrive but am dependent on the US and British postal systems. I won an ARC at Dear Author and am SOOOOO excited.
