"Congratulations. You've snagged an Early Reviewers copy of Anathem by Neal Stephenson."

My day could not get any better.

Excuse me, I am going to die of jealousy.

I see no reason why I shouldn't pass it along once I've read it ...

I'm sure you (and everyone else) will hear as soon as I've got it. How long does the post ordinarily take to get to you from North America?

Don't worry about shipping to me-- I live way too far away (to give you an idea, one package from Canada, with books, took two months to get here)! But I'm glad you're letting others enjoy the wealth. /grins/

Oh, wow! Congratulations!

Of course, that means *I'm* not getting one, or I'd have seen the email by now. *grumble grumble*

Ooh, didn't know you were on the LT. My username is sjanes, if you want to connect up there.

Have you managed to pick anything up through EarlyReviewers yet?

No, nothing. I think I don't describe why I want to read the books well enough.

I'm dark_phoenix54 there. I don't have much up; a lot of what I read comes from the library and I just never get around to putting my own books up.

That's very exciting, congratulations! Does it mention when you can expect to receive it?

Nope. No idea when it's shipping, other than the logical guess that it'll be some time before the release date.
This is the second book I've won through the LT program; the other was two months ago and I haven't got it yet.

Ooooh, I am so jealous. I didn't get anything this month. :/
Now tell me your address, so I can camp out by your mailbox and steal the book when it arrives! :P

so was it because you've included other books by the same guy, or in the same genre or?

I've read all of his books, own most of them, and even have a "stephenson-is-love" tag. I guess that marks me as the sort of person likely to write a glowing review. ;D
