Looks like those eclipses are right on time.

Yes, it's time for the moment you've all been waiting for: the moment where I give away the first ARC of Late Eclipses, fourth book in the October Daye series. Because I am an enormous dork, I literally waited to open this giveaway until I had my book-specific icon in place. STOP JUDGING ME. I am a dork, I embrace my dorkitude. Anyway...

Who wants to win an ARC? About what I figured. I'll have some more effort-intensive contests in a little bit, but first up, it's our old favorite, the random drawing. To enter, please do the following:

1) Leave a comment on this entry. Leave it as a comment on the entry, please, not on someone else's comment. Comments left on other comments cannot win.

2) That's all.

Please don't comment going "pick me, pick me," if you could be so kind. I don't pick anyone. The random number generator picks the winner, and it is a cruel mistress which has never yet picked a comment containing "pick me." Instead, why not tell me why you're excited about this book? I'd really love to know.

I will choose a winner at 2PM PST on Tuesday, December 21st.

Game on!

I would love to read this! I have time coming up in the form of Winter Break.

Time to read is rare indeed. <Oh yeah, it rhymes baby.

Oooh, yay! RNG be kind to me. I'm excited about the book because I've enjoyed the whole series. I'm giving two sets of them away for Christmas presents, and I recommended them to a stranger in a bookstore last night.

I'm excited because these books are getting better as they go along in an almost Dresden Files - esque fashion, and I can't wait to see the next stage of the story arc. You do a wonderful job having multi-book arcs that don't drag on and on, for instance.

I particularly love the modern version of having lost time that started this series.

I love Toby. I love that she is real, flawed, but trying. And I really, really want to know what happens next as soon as I can, so I'll hope the random numbers love me. :)

Oh great Xom, lord of the RNG, hear my prayer and be not bored.

I am really excited by this book because while I was surprisingly content with how things ended in An Artificial Night, I am ecstatic that I will get to visit with these characters and their world for more books.

Thank you for inviting me, and all of us, to share that world with you.

Come on, random number generator! Be less cruel to meeeeee... **cough** I mean... I love your books, love how flawed and real Toby is, and I'm not positive, but I think waiting until March for the next book will drive me nuts.

WHEE!!!

Can't wait to get my hands on Toby's latest adventures. She's the heroine I most love to groan for at the moment.

Oo, pick me Please!

Just kidding. Really, you don't need to call your flying velociraptors. Really. No, need.

I like Toby. Her life doesn't wrap up all nice and neat; it's messy, like mine.

While it is always good to add another October Daye book to the shelf this particular one is especially wanted because I am so curious about May's date. It had filled me with a kind of fear since I read the excerpt at the end of An Artificial Night.

And of course we all want more Tybalt.

I'm excited to see where the next step in Toby's story goes. =)

I love the new icon! If I had the cash to spare, I'd get a poster of that cover.

I'm dying to know how Toby and Tybalt's relationship progresses. And how having a "twin" complicates Toby's mortal life. And how everyone's recovering from the events of the last book.
