GRETCHEN: Wow, what's this? A box? FOR ME???

GRETCHEN: (reading) "From HarperCollins." Huh! (rips box open with bare hands.)


GRETCHEN: OMG! It's a box full of books!!!!!

POODINI: Um, lady? Can I have that box when you're done? Kthxbai.

GRETCHEN: It's like Christmas in July!


GRETCHEN: So many awesome titles. I totally don't deserve this!

POODINI: Seriously? The box? PLEASE???


GRETCHEN: (scanning down) I don't even know where to start first!

GRETCHEN: Oh wait. That's a total lie. I'm starting with Diane Peterfreund's ASCENDANT, hands down!


GRETCHEN: Wow. It's my own private image of heaven.

POODINI: Psst! Lady! About the box...

  2. I recognize the titles--I went to the B&B site yesterday to check them out. I think you're in good hands!! I want to read Ascendant too, but its the second in a series (right?) and I need to read the first one--I just found out it existed :) Oh and Ascendant isn't even out yet, is it? you lucky duck!! Enjoy :)
