Congrats, CM!

Lamb

Yippee! Way to go CM. You're in good company there.

Thanks, Lauren. I'd been wondering.

I knew I was nominated but I didn't know who the competition was.

I'm hosed. Those other guys all won Booksense awards last year in hardcover.

You had better at least beat 'Life of Pi". That thing put me to sleep.
