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.

Illustrate one (maybe with little chibi cartoons?) at the end of chapters (appropriate to the chapters) and then auction it off to benefit some charity? (This has multiple advantages, including deep collectability that goes way beyond ARC status. Plus it just sounds cool, but I'm easily amused. It's probably more work than it's worth, but in case it's not....)

If I have one left over when we're done with the final push, that sounds like a disturbing amount of scary fun.

Oh good. Now I'll just quietly hope. 'Cause that I'd pay for.
