      If I win, I will pick some of the Penguin books I've had my eye on and get some new ones too. Then I will have to recommend them to my friends.

      I've always given books to friends as presents because they're so much more meaningful. What I already own from this collection I'll give to friends, especially because the cover designs are wonderful! Crossing my fingers, and good luck to everyone else too!
