Hope you brought your water wings. There's an undertow.

Yes, it's time for the moment you've all been waiting for: the moment where I give away the first ARC of One Salt Sea, the fifth book in the October Daye series. Today seems like a good day to open the contest, being as it's the summer solstice and all. Longest day of the year means free stuff for somebody! So...

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 Friday, June 24th.

Game on!

ETA: Y'all, please remember that I won't answer questions posed on a random number giveaway post. It messes up my ability to cleanly locate a winner, and that just makes things frustrating for everyone.

Why do I want to one? Well, for one it would go well with the ARC of A Local Habitation that I won on Twitter some time ago ;) For another, because I know it's the fifth book, not the fourth. For another, because I totally love the series. For another, my husband also loves the series. I had been bugging him for some time to read the series, and he didn't. Until one weekend when I was gone, and he read the first three books without telling me. Then when Late Eclipses came out, I bought it, but I was in the middle of reading another book. Once again I went away for the weekend, with the other book I was reading, and he read Late Eclipses in one sitting while I was gone, even though I told him it was my book and I had first dibs ;) We're eager for more Toby here!
