What is a hardship giveaway? It's where I give away older books (not ARCs or just-released) to people who couldn't afford to buy them when they came out, and/or can't afford them now. It's an honor system: I believe that you will honor my intent, and only enter if you have a genuine need. Because T-shirt mailing is ongoing, this particular giveaway is only open to people with US addresses. I am so sorry about that, I really am, but a) I can't afford international postage (which is sort of contradictory to the whole "hardship" angle), and b) my postal workers will kill me if I add more international shipping right now.
To enter...
1) Comment on this post, indicating that you have a US address.
2) Tell me what book you are hoping to win. Anything I've written.
2a) Hell, feel free to list anthologies.
3) If you have a second choice, list that.
I cannot guarantee that I have any specific book "in stock," as it were, but I can sure look. (I can tell you for sure that I don't have Rosemary and Rue or Feed right now.)
I will choose five winners on Wednesday, February 4th. They will have twenty-four hours to contact me to claim their prizes.
Shoot for the moon!

2. Indexing
3. Symbiont [if that's too recent, either of the Velveteen books]
This is a lovely idea and made me tear up a little. When every penny counts, physical books tend to get cut first and it stinks not being able to mark up the copies from the library or the ones read in the bookstore.
