Thanks for hopping over to my site today! I love your sense of humor! And that is the greatest picture of you and your nerd on the home page.

We call The Big Bang Theory "The Nerds" and never miss and episode. I have a budding nerd myself in my ten yr old though his interest lie in the new Star Wars not the original. We call him Sheldon. And like Sheldon, he doesn't get it!

Live long and prosper!

Awesome contest! Congrats on all your new followers, and the quarter-century birthday. I'll be 40 in April, but I can honestly say that turning 25 threw me for a loop. Quarter century, closer to being 30 than being 20… Turning 30 and 35 weren't bad at all. Hopefully 40 will be the same.

Oh, and if you decide to add any more books to this fabulous giveaway, it would be great if you chose Mockingjay.

Thanks!
