Free book in return for writing a review you probably would have written anyway

[strange_complex]

Like practically everyone else on LJ today, I have just signed up for Blog a Penguin Classic, and will shortly be receiving a copy of The House of Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne to review.

I'm actually really pleased about this, because I absolutely love The Marble Faun, and have long thought I should try another of Hawthorne's oeuvres. Plus, I am blogging every book I read this year anyway, so fulfilling Penguin's requirement that I write a review within 6 weeks shouldn't be too hard. What are they going to do if I don't, anyway - send round angry Emperor Penguins to peck my door down?

Oh, wow! If only I lived in the UK or Ireland! But I passed on the link to my friendslist so they can have the fun!

Ah, yeah - sorry about that! Still, you will at least get to read all the reviews people write, which should be fun in itself.

Heh, it's okay. I still have a whole heap of Penguin Classics I haven't read just sitting on my bookshelf. I'm kind of in love with Penguin Classics. ;-) I collect books faster than I read them a lot of the time.
