Speed giveaway! For great justice!

It's almost time for Magic for Nothing, and I have three more ARCs to give away! So if you'd like to win one, just...

1. Comment here.
2. Tell the RNG why you should win.
3. Indicate if you are international, and if so,
4. Indicate your willingness to pay postage.

That's all!

Three winners will be chosen on Monday, February 27th, two by the random number generator, and one according to my whim.

Game on!

Dear RNG,
While I have done nothing to deserve to win this book; someone must so why not me?

I do not live in the US
I am willing to pay postage.

Thanks for the chance

Dear RNG,

You should pick me, because you never do, and This joke.

How do you make a tissue dance?

Put a little boogie in it.

Worth it, right??


I'm in the US, though I'd still pay for postage.

Oh, RNG, the deadline is my birthday! So that is why I should win; because 34th birthday present.

Not international, so that covers postage.

Happy birthday for tomorrow (here, anyway), Becca!

Oh wise and benevolent RNG, I should win because I've spent all of February sick and/or injured and I'd like something good to remember this month by.

Magic for Nothing sounds awesome... and Antimony is my favorite Price child! Roller Derby! Plus I'll be sure to post a review as soon as I finish!
I currently am living right in your new home state of Washington... oh and I love snakes!
Oh please magical RNG choose me!

Oh RNG, please do your job and pick a number, which will mean that I have a 1/N chance, where N = # of comments posted. I like those odds!

(US resident, no need for international postage...)

Dear RNG,

I would dearly like to win, as I love these books and while I have many virtues, patience is not one of them. Alas, though, I believe too strongly in the powers of randomness to expect my words to make any difference here. But perhaps my faith in cold chance will be rewarded?

(Also in the US!)

i'm international, but I have a US mailbox :)

Because I have no money to spend on fun, but oh to I adore your writing.

Dear RNG,

You look great, RNG. Have you done something different with your hair? Love those shoes, by the way.

There's no particular reason why I should win, aside from 2017 being a giant ball of suck thus far, both health and politics wise.

I am not international, though there are days where there is a lot of temptation to become so.

I am willing to pay for postage.

Keep bein' awesome, RNG.

I am USian and willing to pay postage either way, and I should win because I will love and pet the book and tell it that it is beautiful and place it carefully upon my shelf of favorite books which faces my bed, where it will be admired. There's a space all ready and waiting.

Hi! I love the InCryptid series. I should win because I can't wait to see what happens next after Verity exposed everything on tv. I am not international.

Um, spoilers much? You might want to edit that comment, you've upset somebody... (Not me, I've read CC, but at least one other commenter after you apparently has not, or hasn't finished yet...)

1. Comment here: Here.
2. Tell the RNG why you should win. I don't deserve to. But, it's still be nice.
3. Indicate if you are international (Nope, I'm local) and if so,
4. Indicate your willingness to pay postage. I'd still be willing to anyway.

We should win because we'll get to argue over who gets to read it first!

US, and postage is no problem.

1. This is a comment!
2. I love your books and have no money. :(
3. I am in the US!

Dear Random Number Generator,

I feel really sore because today I, a grown adult person, decided it would be fun to go on a flying fox at a children's playground. I made it almost all the way across before the seat hit the tanbark and kept going, digging a furrow into the ground. I rebounded off the tyre at the far end and had enough momentum to go backwards, but then I hit the low point again and had to let go because I felt like my shoulders were about to be wrenched out of their sockets. I landed on my back on the tanbark and got a bunch of pieces of it in my hair, all down my back, and scraped my legs.

In conclusion, I am reasonably certain it would be safer for me to stay indoors and read a good book, like Magic for Nothing.

Warm regards,
Lauren

P.S. I am international, and willing to pay either postage or excess baggage in case it's easier for Seanan to just bring my ARC to Continuum in June.

An arc! Much excite!

I should win because my last couple weeks have been a horrorshow of stress and terrible (family death and Trump's immigration disaster and academic bureaucratic nightmares), and Lady Luck has to smile on me soon, right?

I am in Canada, but happy to pay shipping :)

My comment is: Arrggghhhh, spoilers in the comments!
I don't know that I SHOULD win but my Main Coon and my half-Maine Coon and the out-numbered tabby think I need distracting.
I am international but always willing to pay postage.

My poems they are a bit odd
(And no, you don't have to applaud)
SoCal born and bred
but it won't go to my head
as I pray to the Random Number God


In other words:
I am not international (but I will pay for postage), and the RNG should pick me because of my excellent poetry.

Hey :)

Dear RNG, I think I should win because:
(a) I have yet to win anything from one of these,
(b) I have no chance of getting over to the US this decade, so I won't get to see any of the awesome events being discussed around the comments here, which kind of really sucks =/ and...
(c) - and most importantly, in many ways - my darling, dearly-beloved tortie Gem is slowly dying of abdominal cancer aged only 13, the vets say there isn't anything they can really do to help, I'm terrified & devastated every time I so much as think about losing her, and I badly need anything that can take my mind off the real world right now. Especially if it's something that'll allow us to cuddle up and be entertained together (me by reading, her by being petted). *loves on the sweet kitty currently lying across her lap*

Oh, and (d), I've just finished re-reading Chaos Choreography, and am very much looking forward to whatever happens next.

I'm international, as you may recall, but more than willing to pay postage (and able too, since the government finally decided to grant me full disability for the next 10 years). Thank you for reading, and I apologise if the comment upsets you at all (I have a hard time hearing about sick cats anywhere, and I know others do sometimes, too).

Dear RNG,

I should win because today, in Pokemon Go, I named a Maril "Head Aeslin," and because I named my Dragonite "William" :) I'm US domestic!

Dear RNG:
I am international and will gladly pay postage.
