CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT giveaway. Because I can.: seanan

CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT giveaway. Because I can.

It's August, and that means the seventh October Daye adventure, Chimes at Midnight, will be on shelves soon. But what if you don't want to wait?

That's where this entry comes in. I am giving away two copies, one purely by RNG (random number generator), and one by a slightly more stringent standard: pictures. I want to see pictures of you reading Toby in the strangest place you can think of or access easily. Museums. Hot air balloons. Your own bedroom only covered in Care Bears. Or pose the books with pets or toys, whatever suits your fancy.

To enter the RNG drawing:

1. Leave a comment on this entry.
2. If you are international, indicate a willingness to pay postage.
3. That's all.

To enter the photo drawing:

1. Leave a comment on this entry either including or linking to your photo. YOUR COMMENT MAY BE MARKED AS SPAM. I WILL MANUALLY UNSPAM ALL COMMENTS.
2. If you are international, indicate a willingness to pay postage.
3. That's all.

Yes, someone who posts a picture is automatically entered in both drawings, while someone who only leaves a comment is entered in only the RNG drawing. One entry per person, please—if you're planning to take a picture this weekend, please don't leave a comment without a picture. No matter how cool you think a picture is, please do not reply to other people's comments, as this confuses the RNG. Both winners will be chosen by RNG; if the RNG picks a non-picture entry for the second drawing, we will choose again.

Winners will be chosen on Wednesday, August 21st, and books will be mailed that Friday, getting them in your hands before the book comes out. So you've got the weekend to shutterbug!

GAME ON!

Toby with Toby.

(He didn't want to give her back, either. He scratched me when I tried to retrieve the book.)

Land of Poison and Flame, willing to pay postage and/or donate soul.

Augh! As almost all my books are either in ebook or audiobook form, pictures can't be had. No matter, I would love to be in the RNG drawing anyway ♥ I am currently in Singapore and willing to pay postage :)

So, huge fan. And, while not more deserving than any other person here, I DESERVE IT MORE!

(I can't figure out how to do the selfie thing, so my hand is implied in the hovering Kindle action.)

I would love it if the RNG picked ME!! (Will also probably buy the book regardless, because I support authors whose work matters to me.)

I'd happily pay for the book twice over, let alone the postage. This series is one of my all time favourites, and is getting better with every book.

My Toby books are in my apartment; I'm currently away from my apartment, visiting the beach with my family. Which leaves me with the Toby stories in the Hugo packet, which are hanging out on my iPad. I hope a story without Toby actually in it can still count as a Toby story, because here's a picture of my reflection, reading "In Sea Salt Tears" from the inside of my iPad (while viewing it through a camera lens). I took this photo while sitting on the beach. (And here's hoping this link works...)

I am all good at tempting the random generator to pick me.
Though if I haven't gone completely crazy by the time we finish packing the moving truck Saturday maybe I will try and get a picture of me reading Toby on my Kobo in the moving truck.

:)

Oh and I am Canadian and willing to pay postage.

While I love the idea of the picture I can't seem to get a camera to work - ever. They see me coming and break themselves by flinging off shelves, swan diving into puddles and toilets, and sometimes, when things are dire, just not turning on at all. So, I leave my fate up to the RNG. Would love the book though! I will pay shipping as well, though I think TN is still in the US. ^_~
