I probably wouldn't have picked this up either, but the publicist really showed that he put some effort into choosing whom he approached for review copies - and that was really the clincher! I enjoyed your review, so I've linked to it <a href="http://caramellunacy.blogspot.com/2009/07/sinful-life-of-lucy-burns-elizabeth.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

I rarely get personalized pitches like that because I don't go out of my way to market my blog to publishers to get ARCs and the like. Yes, it was very exciting!

I didn't think is was a bad book, by any means, just not spectacular (but I have a different idea of what makes spectacular literature than some people, I think). Interesting.

I don't read much chick lit, but this sounds like a cure for the common chick lit book, which too often seem alike. Great points about how the publisher approached you. I always like a personal email although, like you, I don't accept many books right now. Too little time as it is! Interesting review!

I like the question you answered about the main character's moral compass. Kim, I've finally posted a catch-up post including the BIP's last four exercises. I really liked this week's review challenge. Amazing that we're at the half-way mark. How exciting to be approached by the publisher!
