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.

The book is set in San Francisco, yes? Choose a couple (or a few) dominant locations from the book and hide ARCs there, geocache-style, and leave clues on the SF craigslist "community" lists [activities, artists, etc.]. Make it a game!

You probably don't have time for that. But it sounds fun.
I actually really like this idea ...
I really like this idea as well. *throws her vote in with stagemanager*
You're right; I don't have time for that, but it sounds fun as hell. Maybe with copies of book one when we're close to book two coming out.
