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!

I don't know if it's strange, but here I am in the US, reading in what I have termed my "Toby socks" for reasons I hope are apparent.

Chimes at Midnight! I'll admit I've had it preordered since June, but if the RNG chooses me, then my sister gets her own copy too... :)

Starting from left...Lightning Pony has electrical super powers. Bellydancer Pony possesses the power of the shimmy. The Halloween Cat has varied eldritch powers which we do not question. The Winged Bear is better than flying monkeys. The Snow Pony can summon blizzards. They rest upon a trampoline across the road from their very own cornfield. They demand tribute! Or giggles. Whichever, really.

Tried to post this once, biffed it, and it looks like the upload failed. If this is a double, er, oops. Sorry. It's not intentional.

Damn this lack of accomplices! I can't get anyone who knows how to take a picture properly, and I don't have anyone else to pose! Oh well. One chance is better than none!

I'm 'reading' Rosemary and Rue (audiobook) tonight while attacking the laundry. What can I say, my life is just so wild.https://twitter.com/bkwpotter/status/368963541820129280/photo/1 (https://twitter.com/bkwpotter/status/368963541820129280/photo/1)

I call this "Paris Catacombs, or Night Vale Library?"

Paris Catacombs or Night Vale Library?

I'm happy to pay international postage if I'm lucky enough to win! Thanks for holding the drawing!

I am very boring, just ask the third dog who isn't in the photo. Reading while buried under 180lbs of dogs is as strange as I could arrange, but is actually not that unusual now that I think on it. I am located in the US, but will pay postage if the RNGGods look upon me favorably.

haha, I would so love to win this, though sadly I have not bought a physical book in many an age... other than Velveteen vs., anyway.

This is me leaning against the exposed pipe of an eccentric doctor's radioactive science project. Seriously.

Apparently my house was originally built by a doctor who was concerned about the potential for naturally occurring radiation from the stone my house is built on. To counteract any possible negative health effects, he had this machine built and installed to siphon any radiation away. I do not know if there is any radiation, or if the machine actually works (it goes vooooosh from time to time, so it must be doing something), but hey - how many people have one of these in their kitchen?

Reading One Salt Sea on the climbing wall

I live in the United States, but I'd be more than happy to pay postage any which way. :-D

This is me reading Toby on my kindle. I'm participating in GISHWHES for a friend, by being dressed in a cote harde, in a dog walking spot, throwing quoits. I figure that qualifies as odd. IMG_20130816_181728_682

I'm in the US.

All my Toby books are at my parents' house, so regular RNG entry it is!

Oh, why not. Maybe I'll get lucky. I am in the US.

Pick me! I am unfortunately, not often favored by RNG's. But work has eaten the ability to get to picture making. So I will live in hope, and also in the US.
