Quick, nonjudgmental question.

I'm putting together my giveaway schedule for August, and I have a lot of copies of The Winter Long. I also know that most of y'all have either a) bought that book, or b) not started the series. So here is my question:

Do we have enough people here who are caught up otherwise who still need a copy of The Winter Long? I don't want to send book eight to folks who've only read books one and two; that's counter-productive and really spoiler-y. At the same time, I want to make sure people with limited book budgets can still read A Red-Rose Chain when it comes out. Thus checking to see whether this would be a valid giveaway plan.

Caveat: I am still not up for international mailing. So this is really a question for my US readers.

Comment amnesty is on for this post. I just need data.

Personally have it, but if someone wants to enter a contest for the book, why not? It certainly doesn't hurt anything.

It doesn't hurt anything except my time and my postage budget.

I live in a rural area; my house is full of books, but getting them out of my house costs time and money. So saying "if I did this for people a) who can't afford the book, and b) already have the first seven, would there be interest?" means "are there people who fit both these criteria?"

I'm not rich. I don't have a live-in PA who does all my mailing for me. There's just me, trying to balance everything and make the best of my limited postage budget. I apologize if I have ever given a different impression.
