Just registered at Powell's and posted a mini-review for Junot's latest
and added it to the Daily Dose contest. Today I read this on the site:
Powell's Books - Daily DoseWednesday, September 5th
Today's Dose by Ronald from Brooklyn, New York
Congratulations, Ronald, for claiming your $20 gift certificate!

Guess what I'm getting with my certificate?
If you're in NYC today (Thursday, October 6th), he'll be reading and discussing the book at the Union Square (17th & B'way) branch of Barnes & Noble.
