Arrested Development Quote
...I'm watching TV right now, which I don't usually do when I write anything because it distracts me. And it is distracting me today because I found I couldn't really compose this profound post about how once you put yourself out in the public eye, you sort of lose some of your humanity and become an object. But, that's kind of a dense thing to do while watching last week's episode of American Idol. So, I think I'm going to have to do something a little simpler.

Like a contest.

I got my first Storm Born review yesterday (it was good! I'll link it to you once it's public), and it occurred to me that I'm only three months away from its release. And the three month mark is hardcore promotion time, particularly when you've got ARCs sitting around that need homes. So, let's give one of those away. And we're going to do a Truth/Lie thing again because those can be objectively scored, and I know the non-creative peeps like the mostly random guessing element of this. :)

As a recap, there are seven statements listed below. Four are true, and three are not true. Your task is to identify the three that are NOT true and list them in the comments here. This contest'll be open until this Saturday at 11:59pm, Pacific Time. Winner gets a Storm Born ARC and maybe some other swag.

Here we go:

1. I like pink clothing.
2. I am superstitious.
3. I was part of the Grunge scene in high school.
4. I like gardening.
5. I have a B.A. in English and Medieval Studies.
6. I was a brunette in college.
7. I was raised Catholic.

Good luck!

Addendum: people posting anonymously, make sure I have a way to find you if you win. Or at least make sure you check back next week!

Oooh, ooh, oooh!

I think that 1, 4, & 7 are not true.

(Although I know you little enough that all seven sound plausible. Either that, or you're just really good at this.)

I'm pretty sure at least half of 5 is true and hopefully you aren't teasing us... :)

Alright, I missed out on the last one, and I'm really impatient waiting for that book to come out, so...

Hmm.....well, I know you have an M.A. in Comparative Religion. That sounds stalker-ish, but hey, what can I say? I read the author bios at the back of the book. : )

Anyway, I'm not sure about the Medieval Studies bit...but I can believe the English part (obviously).

...Pink...Hmmm...I'm trying not to let my personal dislike of pink (except for Stargazer Lilies) influence my decision.

I think I've rambled on enough. So, without further ado: 2, 4, and 6
