    yep, sg311, on the contest rules, it says that you must live in america, DISCLUDING Puerto Rico. it is a bit unfair, but if u go under August 2008, there is a post called “What’s Your Favorite Book? Tell Us!” i think that’s what its called. Anywhoo, if you go under it, u can post your own reviews for people 2 see!

    I:)
