So I spent most of yesterday in the hospital, until they concluded exactly what I had thought: I tore a muscle in my ribs, coughing. Now I’m home, with some medicine that is making me really loopy. Loopy and tired. (Though it’s nothing compared to the morphine they had me on yesterday! I fell asleep on our brand new furniture. I may have even drooled. Opiates, man, I’m telling you…)

The winner of the first SORORITY 101 signed books giveaway is: Khy, at comment #16. Email me with your address to receive your prize.
So because I’m too loopy for a real blog post today, I’m directing you to the site of Simone Elkeles, who has an awesome new book trailer up for her new book, PERFECT CHEMISTRY. I know you may be sick of book trailers, but this one is really different and special (and I’m bummed I can’t embed it)
Perfect Chemistry is ALSO today’s giveaway. Leave a comment here to enter.
And make sure you check back tomorrow for a very special all-weekend long giveaway contest.
One more thing. Don’t forget to subscribe to my newsletter. All newsletter subscribers get a special, exclusive giveaway on December 15th. (Secret Society Girl Fans do NOT want to miss out.)
Okay, guys. I’m out. I may go back to sleep on our new furniture. It looks so comfy…

Ouch! a torn muscle You have been sick for awhile now. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
They gave me morphine when I had my knee surgery. It made me hallucinate. Well actually I just had such vivid dreams that when I woke up I thought they were real. For some reason I thought I lived in a trailer and that my boyfriend at the time had sold it to the KKK

Simone Elkeles is awesome! I thought Leaving Paradise was so evocative, and Perfect Chemistry looks amazing too!

Hope you feel better soon! I highly recommend naps. Naps always help
Of course, I have no medical training, so you’ll probably want to take that with grain of salt.
