Thank You Simon & Schuster...

...for the little piece of awesomeness that was left at my gate today while I was at work!!!

Isn't it beautiful?  That's just the packaging...they went all out!  Here's what I found when I opened it up:


I was flabbergasted!  What a brilliant display of a wonderful book.  I just don't really have the words to put together to truly explain my feelings about this.  Only once before have I received an ARC packaged so exquisitely.  Simon & Schuster are doing their best to promote, promote, promote and make sure this one gets out there and gets read.  Included in the box is an ARC of Wither, a promotional post card, a letter from Justin Chanda, VP/Publisher for S&S Books for Young Readers, and a tube of June Beans, A.K.A. chocolate covered sunflower seeds.  I just have to say, they are yummy; I've been eating them as I type this.

I just had to share this with you, my readers.  Look for a review to come soon, as this one releases next month!  Thank you again Simon & Schuster; you can send mail to my house anytime!!!
