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.

I like the hospital idea. I've been volunteering in a hospital for a while, and plan to enter the field eventually. I think patients (and possibly nurses/staff) would love the opportunity.

Of course, the other idea is a cool one too, if Seanan cared to do a little hiking.

My housemate has pointed out that ARCs are probably in better condition than most of what they get at the VA Hospitals, so the fragility of the medium isn't the barrier I'd expected. This may be "if I have them in a month," but it's definitely going onto the list.
