And the winner is ...

Athina! Expect an email shortly.

So many great comments! You guys are excited about a lot of great things. Thanks so much for entering, and apologies for the delay in announcing the winner -- between family stuff and Irene, the last few days have been a little crazy.

We didn't lose power for as long as we could have, and it turns out playing Lord of the Rings Monopoly by candlelight is not a bad way to spend an evening (especially when you're DESTROYING the other players with your awesome real estate purchases -- who knew Bag End and Farmer Maggot's could be such moneymakers?!). Reading, however, is better by booklight. Less flickery.

More excerpts and another contest to come this week. Stay tuned ...
