LJ hates me and a free book for you

[jmc_bks]

My SBD post took several tries to post. And I can't reply to any of the comments posted in the last day, dammit.

Instead I'll post here: Yay! ::happy dance:: And thank you to Meljean Brook, 'cause I won her contest.

I also won (last week and I forgot to post about it, bad jmc) a contest over at Bam's -- a copy of Annie Dean's ebook, The Average Girl's Guide to Getting Laid. Once I've finished reading it, I'll post a review or maybe just an opinion.

So, since I've been all win-ny lately, I'll share the love. I have a duplicate copy of Meljean Brook's Demon Moon due to order impatience/forgetfulness. Pick a number between 1 and 50 and post it in the comments (along with contact info if you don't have a blog or LJ) in the next 48 hours. The first person to hit the number or get closest gets my spare copy.

42, of course!

Gah! Sarah beat me to it! I'll say 25.

Is there some joke that I'm missing about 42?

[jperceval.livejournal.com]

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams -- 42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Gotcha. That's still TBR for me.

Well, bump it up!!!! You cannot go through life without the Ultimate Answer.

Congrats

Today is the release day for Demon Moon and it's not even out here--yet, at B&N. Big congrats to you on winning. Ah, let's see, I'll guess #35.

Hey, are you watching the debates on CNN?

I haven't been watching -- usually I read the transcripts after, because I find the format to be stilted and not very conducive to anything other than canned responses. Frankly, I'm not entirely thrilled with any of the Dems. I may watch tonight, if I get home in time.

Dems were on Sunday, today it's repubs. I don't the debates find them condusive either. What I get out of it - is--entertainment. Watching them fight for position with the usual canned responses. I did like Edwards, tho. ----K.

What if we live far, far away, with all the postage costs that entails? I'll guess 6, but if you don't want to send it out of the US, I won't allow it to blight my life forever.

And yes, Douglas Adams is worth a read. Haven't read him for ages, and I'm wondering if the books have dated - I suddenly realise I can't remember the last time I saw a digital watch, and what about the telephone sanitation engineers, now that everyone has their own phone?
