I have enlisted the services of Byron the Quokka, pictured above, to remind everybody that we’ve got a comment contest going. Not much action on this blog today!
Byron says we currently have 43,447 comments, which means we are only 553 short of a winner. His arithmetic is impeccable. Yes, whoever posts Comment No. 44,000 will win an autographed copy of The Temptation–unless I can come up with something gaudier: maybe one of those supermarket robots that wanders around the aisles looking for spills.
All readers are eligible to play, and all comments are eligible except for the following: remarks abusive to anyone else on this site; comments containing profanity or blasphemy; ads thinly disguised as comments, as if we couldn’t see through that; or comments simply too inane, jejeune, or vacuous to bother with. Other than that, anything goes.
If you’ve already won a contest, don’t be shy–try to win again. Just don’t make a habit of it. I mean, if the same person wins all the time, that could make me look bad…
We will be waiting with bated breath to see which lucky commenter will win. Whatever it is, the fun is in the winning, right?
Wow! That’s a lot of comments!
Does Byron’s reminder count as a comment? Is he eligible to enter the contest? And if he wins, will there be a special edition of the book for his itty-bitty paws? (He’s adorable. Maybe another prize might be a pet quokka.) 🙂 🙂
He already has all the books. He has his eye on one of those supermarket robots.
Exciting! 🙂
