First of all, Laura’s Review Bookshelf is hosting a contest for the ARC of Prada and Prejudice (which sounds like an awesome book)! All you have to do is tell her about the most expensive thing that you purchased that you didn’t have to purchase, and upload this widget that I’m supposed to have on my sidebar. Except it’s not showing up. I don’t know why. Does anyone have any help?

The most expensive thing I ever bought was probably this old manual typewriter I have. I don’t ever use it, because it is so loud and cannot even compare to a laptop, where it SAVES your work. I don’t remember what I spent on it, but I got it at a yard sale and so it is not even new.

The second thing I am not really telling you. I am asking you. What does it mean when, if you teacher asks if anyone got any good books over break, everyone laughs as a response?

Don’t worry. I don’t really want you to answer that (although if you do, I hope you answer that it is not a good thing). But I am hoping that perhaps there were some people who did (not including me), and they simply did not speak up, perhaps too engrossed in that new book(s). You can always hope.

You know what? I think 2009 will be a bloggy year for me. I am posting even more than I expected.
