Second hardship giveaway.

Thanks to the generosity of my readers, we are opening a second hardship giveaway.

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, Feed, or A Fantasy Medley 2 right now, although I do have When Will You Rise and Cat Valente's essay collection, for which I wrote the intro.)

I will choose ten winners on Monday, February 9th. They will have twenty-four hours to contact me to claim their prizes. This will be tightly enforced, as I leave for New York on the 12th. Please do not enter if you won a prize in the previous hardship giveaway, as we want to spread the love as far as possible.

Shoot for the moon!

I live in New York, If you come here go to the Strand Bookstore, my favorite. It's at 12 th and Broadway, Old books, New books, you can burrow to your hearts content. I also like book works on Crosby street , if in soho. I would like a Toby book, one salt sea, or something else. Or your new book with Rose. Thanks all your blogs, I grew up really poor , down to 2 dollars, just me and my mom. It is hard and you never forget.

I live in the US and I'd love the oldest Toby or Incryptid book you have available (whichever one you have the earliest of, please?), as I never got around to picking them up when I could afford them, and it's been a long time since I could. They'd be muchly appreciated by a family of compulsive readers without a book budget anymore, and while the local libary is love the kids really miss being able to own copies of books they love.

I live in the US.

The anthologies I wish I could read, in order of preference:

1) The End is Now
2) Ravens in the Library
3) Living Dead, Volume 2
4) Wastelands II

I'd love any one of these. Thanks so much for the chance!

My second choice would be Home Improvement: Undead Edition (again, can't find it at the library)

Thank you for an amazing giveaway!

I have a US address! My friend has been trying to get me to check out your books for a while, she's a fan of the Toby books I believe. I just haven't had the chance to. I don't really have a first or second choice because I'm not sure where to begin! :)
