ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't win. Can't win everything. I, like, would totally have, like, liked some YA romance novels and stuff. Hey, I bet I DID win, and you were all, "Oh, Simon doesn't want these books. He doesn't read YA anyway."
ReplyDeleteWell, why are you making assumptions about my reading habits, huh? Huh? Don't you think that's a bit presumptuous? Why, just the other day, I was distracted from browsing in a Jackie Collins novel by this total hottie on the cover of a Goosebumps book... Uh. Okay. I think that took a turn for the strange there. Um... sorry?
Oh, and congrats to the winners!
