Deborah from “Books, Movies & Chinese Food,” who has read almost 200 books so far!  Oh, and she’s attending grad school, so she gets to read boring classroom stuff too.  Deborah, are you sure you’re human?  I think you’re a cyborg, or at least a more highly evolved form of human being.  Congratulations–you’ve earned it!  Send me the title of the new novel you want, along with your home address, and I’ll have it shipped to you.  My e-mail: chartroose at yahoo dot com.  Woot!

Now for the consolation prize winner.  I considered many things, like witty comments (this means you, Jill and Don) or other big readers like Nymeth and Eva or just people I wanted to win, which was pretty much all the rest of you.  None of it seemed quite fair, so this pick was totally random.  I drew a number out of my trusty aluminum bowl, and the winner was Devourer of Books!  Here is your prize:

It’s a purse made out of a book!  I just ordered it, so it’ll take a little time to get to me.  As soon as I get it, I’ll send it your way.  E-mail your home address to chartroose at yahoo dot com.  Congratulations, Devourer!

I think shopping is my superpower (athough I’d rather be invisible).  I know it sure isn’t reading!  I found the purse at http://www.makeitandtakeit.com.  She’s got many of these super cute book purses for sale.
