HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!
This month marks our ELEVENTH birthday!

To celebrate, we’re giving away gifts!
FIVE commenters from the US will receive some FanLit BOOKMARKS (quite practical!) and a cozy FANLIT T-SHIRT (as long as we still have your size). Or, if you prefer, you may choose a book from our stacks.
You can leave any sort of comment — a birthday wish,
