I'm lucky enough to have received several advance books (none from Crusie though) and sometimes its hard to keep my trap shut about it. But I like to have the finished edition too. They look less messy on display and how can I not support an author who was kind enough to give me a book in advance, if I like the book? Although I suppose writing good reviews for them can help more than the one book I buy. Absolutely would buy the book.

Even though this finished hours ago, I'm still caught up in the drama of it. And I think asking for an outtake "consolation prize" is pure genius, LOL! I think I love being a spectator!

I think it would be educational for me. I'll give it one last shot tomorrow, but I'm a slow typist, so I'm not too hopeful. Congrats to all the winners!

Finally seeing the form was fantastic. :D Tomorrow I'll try again, and hopefully the adrenaline won't screw up my typing again. I had to go back and fix where I'd typed "Sallad" instead of "Dallas," and then put it in the right line. *facepalm* Ditto to CrankyOtter. Finally seeing the form was fantastic. :D

I was so excited to see the form! Adrenaline coursed thru me and my typing was way off. But my main problem was the virus scan that kicked off at noon too. There are full second delays at times for my click to be recognized. Sigh. Well, congrats to today's winners. Only 3 copies left for tomorrow's frenzy. Sigh. Argh. Me 3.
