I used to be a morning person. Then I got married and DH started working 2nd shift. So I became an evening person. Then I got a dog. Guess what? I'm a morning person again.

Does anyone use Goodreads? I discovered something about it a couple weeks ago. On the Explore page there's a place for give-aways. New and no-so-new authors give away copies of their newly released books. I've entered a bunch of the drawings and have won six books! Like Mary Chapin Carpenter sings, "I'm Feeling Lucky." Bought a lottery ticket last night. Hope the luck keeps going.
