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.

Don't know if this has been mentioned, come up, what have you... but have you considered sending one to your literary idol?

I was going to do that with Feed. I keep wanting to send him Rosemary, but I am petrified and shy.

Not knowing anything about him personally, do you know what types of books he likes to read? He writes horror; does he enjoy reading it or is that like going home from work and working more? Maybe he'd like a break from it?
