Alrighty, kids!
As I occasionally suffer from Immediate Gratification Syndrome, I went out and bought* the Ibbotson reprints this weekend. Then, of course, I received the ARCs in the mail this morning.
So. The ARCs are up for grabs. (Well, the Countess ARC, anyway -- I'll run another contest for Summer once I've read it.)
To enter, tell me in six words -- no more, no less -- why the copy of Countess should go to you.
Winner will be announced Friday, around noon.
*Technically, I bought Countess and Josh bought Summer (for me -- he wants me to stress that he bought it for me, not for him), but it amounts to the same thing -- I have an extra copy of each.
I re-read "A Little Princess" often.

I defended Ibbotson's book during Cybils.
(Long explanation: I was the only one who wanted her Beast of Clawstone Castle on the SF/F shortlist. And I truly fought for it!)
