Okay. Advise me.

I have a few more ARCs to give away, and I'm stumped. So how should I give them away? (Hint: saying "give them to me" will actually not endear you, unless you finish that sentence with "I do all the buying for a major bookstore" or something similar, and can present credentials.) Have you got a favorite review site? Have I missed a contest? Should I abandon them on BART cars? What?

Propose anything. I am open to the crazy.

EDIT: So it's said, the "abandon on BART cars" option was a joke. I won't do anything that involves releasing ARCs into the wild, outside the bounds of the standard social contract, with no idea where they went. Not okay.

Have you sent one to Felicia Day? She recently made a book post; I don't know how behind she is on her reading.

I do all the buying for a major bookstore
Could you hit some local Borders and Barnes and Nobleses and give them to the person in charge so that they love it and display it prominently when it comes out?

I don't know how you would get one to someone at Entertainment Weekly, but that's where I find out about new books I've never heard of!

I did! Remember, you got me her info?

I'm hitting the local stores. As for EW, that's done by my publicist, not me.

I do remember! Just wanted to confirm that it actually happened.

I'm hitting the local stores.
Rock. Don't hit them too hard or they might think you're a brute.
