anxiousWhat 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 that is not listed below.
2a) Hell, feel free to list anthologies.
3) If you have a second choice, list that.
4) If you list a book which I have explicitly stated I do not have, you will be disqualified.
I cannot guarantee that I have any specific book "in stock," as it were, but I am happy to look.
Books that I can tell you for sure I do not have:
Rosemary and Rue
A Fantasy Medley 2
Ravens in the Library
Glitter and Mayhem
Books that I can guarantee I have:
Half-Off Ragnarok
Pocket Apocalypse
Indexing
The Winter Long
The Mad Scientist's Guide
Rolling in the Deep (two copies)
Indistinguishable From Magic (Cat Valente's essay collection)
I will choose ten winners on Monday, April 27th. They will have twenty-four hours to contact me to claim their prizes. This will be tightly enforced, as I leave for Orlando at the end of the week.
Shoot for the moon!

I would love Discount Armageddon or the earliest Toby book you have on hand. Our library has Rosemary and Rue, but the kids love being able to actually own books they love and that's not something we can give them anymore. And thank you so much for your generosity in giving people this chance.
