yay!

I have just gotten a box full of COYOTE DREAMS in the mail. It is *pretty*. Very, very pretty. And I actually want to sit down and /read/ it, which is fairly unusual and quite cool: I like the book that much. For the next 24 hours, people should tell me why it is I should send them a copy of the book, and the top 3 reasons will get a copy.
