If only I were as efficient as the people at Harper Collins

On Monday I had a comment from a new (to me) blogger. I went over to the blog, as you do, and the most recent post was about her spring reading list. There was also a picture of a book she was going to read and review for Harper Collins. I left a comment saying I would love to find out about reviewing books.

The next morning I had a comment from Michelle, the blogger, leaving me email address of someone at Harper Collins. I quickly shot of an email, and didn't really expect to hear anything.

Within about 5 minutes I had received an email back asking for my address. Efficient or what?

I was coming up from the laundry room not 20 minutes ago when Saoirse said "Mummy! Door!" and there was a man with a nice little package. And what should it be, but 3 books from Harper Collins! Super efficient!

I'll take a picture later, but this is what I got...

Gorgeously Green- 8 Simple Steps to an Earth- Friendly Life by Sophie Uliano. I don't really think of myself as super green but I've taken a quick glance and it looks really interesting. For instance, did you know you can compost paper towels , pet hair and unpaid bills (I'll assume you can also compost paid ones.) There is a list of 80 things and at least 50 are a total surprise to me. I can think of a few bloggers out there who would love this book. I wonder if I am allowed to pass it on.

Sex Detox by Ian Kerner. Recharge desire. Revitalize Intimacy. Rejuvenate your love life. Hmmmm...I wonder if she took a quick peek at my blog and came across my quest to get laid. Which, FYI, did eventually happen. After I had a sulk.

Babyproofing Your Marriage- Cockrell, O'Neill and Stone. Another one that looks quite good, and definitely could be used in a house overrun by children.

I'm quite excited to start on these books. I'm a little nervous about reviewing them, I hope I can do them justice. And justify the fact that they just sent me over $80 worth of books. For free! Because I have a blog! I knew this little old blog would pay one day.
