I belong to this website where you can keep track of the books you've read, review them, etc. and they also have this part where they give away "first reads" of upcoming books. Like 2 days ago I went through and entered to get some of these books and I got an email this morning actually winning a "first read"! Isn't that neat? I'll get to read and review this book before its even released to the public. Which may sound mighty nerdy but I am a bibliophile for sure. Yea me!
