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'm excited because in the third book, we finally got to see Toby get a break and actually save the people she wants to save. It's great that the hero doesn't always succeed--in book two, she was supposed to save Jan. In the first book, she technically succeeds, but it almost feels like a loss, even before it really starts, because of the people who died. In the third book, Toby actually had a victory. I like the balance, and I want to see where it goes next.

I can't wait to find out what happens next! I want more details on what Toby did to get knighted. That's got to be an amazing story. Also, Tybalt= <3

WHY AM I EXCITED?

I am excited because I haven't had a new Toby book in nearly 10,000 years! A new Toby book will make my life to date complete and ensure my happification and my place among my ancestors in the afterlife.

I wanna read about Toby...

-- getting even more ticked off than previously, which is going some
-- kicking serious butt as a result of the above
-- having her butt kicked, also as a result of the above... well no, I'm not sure I *want* that to happen, except that if I want the other good stuff then this *HAS* to happen because it's Toby (and a hard-boiled detective tale)
-- finding out more about the world(s) she lives in, even the bits she'd rather not

I love that you give away ARCs!

You are not a dork. That is all.

I cannot wait for Late Eclipses. Toby is one of my favourite heroines ever, being so full of dry wit and genuinely kickass. Plus I want to see more of May. Because she is awesome.

I've been looking forward to this book more than ever since the cover was released (I'd love to cosplay that dress), and I'd absolutely love to make a review of this ARC the first book review on my new lit crit column!

Dear RNG. I'd like a pony, a toy rocket, a Buddha statue, and an ARC of Late Eclipses, because while I *can* wait that long, I'd rather not.

171 already? Meep.

Why and how did Toby get ranked up, is what I want to know.

I'm absolutely beside myself with excitement to read the fourth book. All through the first three books you can feel that there is something bigger, something just.. more, that's going on under all the surface action. It sounds like the fourth book is going to start addressing those issues, and I love big, juicy plot lines! Plus I want to see how May ends up integrated into Toby's life.
