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 Random Number Generator,

I don't think I deserve a copy. But I also am in a depressive episode, and don't think I deserve anything good. Nevertheless, I would like to be entered into the drawing.

Reading Seanan McGuire books is one of the only things that I'm getting any contentment/peace/enjoyment out of right now (it's quite literally down to these books and the Hamilton soundtrack). It would be nice to have something else anchoring me here for a bit; it's getting really hard.

I live in the US, and would be more than willing to pay for postage.

This is my comment. I think the RNG should favor me because it feels guilty for my overall luck in games of chance in my life. Should this plea prove successful, I reside in Illinois, which is not (yet) international to you.

Dear RNG,

I should win because it's my birthday in a few weeks, and it would be super fun to get an ARC for my birthday! I am in the US.

Dear RNG.... my kitties request you pick me. If not... well, their claws are very sharp. I can show you the scars. ;)

Dear RNG,
Please pick me because everything is about to hit the fan at work and I need a good distraction. And because I've spent the past week working on two 4' square sandwiches made of foam. They involve seven pieces (two slices of bread, turkey, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion) and my brain is melting from looking/trying to figure out how to make over sized vegetables
love,
Hannah
p.s. I live in the USA

Dear RNG, I should win because I love this series ever so much. But if I don't, I will not be sad because I won a Hogswatch RNG! (USA resident)

I should win because having this book will save my students from my terrible ministrations. I will be distracted from inflicting such horrors as making them clean their rooms, themselves (Alan's Rule #3: Deodorant is not optional) and making them learn to awful things like manage their time, budget and - the worst, most diabolical thing - spend time doing things not involving YouTube.

(Should I not win, this will be further proof that my malicious depredations to bring self reliance and functional life skills to people who really don't want them is still required by divine - or infernal - fiat. No one has bothered asking either to take responsibility for me, because neither side is quite ready to claim me.)

I am completely willing to pay postage. Austin, TX is the embarrassing, gaudy blue rhinestone on the Bible belt, and sometimes secret codes and quantum tunneling is needed to get things to the twilight zone existing between it and Pflugerville, due to the cacophonous political dissonance between the two places.

RNG please choose me as then I may pass my pre-ordered copy along to another deserving individual.
I am in the US.
Many thanks to Seanan for her continued generosity and her continued fabulous story telling. Or should I not refer to you in the third person when I know you will be reading this?
Good luck to all.

1. Incryptid books are the gateway drug to the world of Seanan Mcguire's writing for many an unsuspecting ecologist/biologist/person with inclinations of natural history.
2. Hello lovely random number generator, I hope you are doing well on this fine evening. I hope you will honor me by your choice. It will allow me not only to devour this next tale with glee, but also spread the joy that is conservation of cryptid species, fighting the good fight, a healthy dose of sarcasm and Aeslin Mice to those unfortunate souls among my community who are not yet aware of them. (Also, these tales are a lovely distraction from the exhausting slog that is graduate school, and an inspiration/motivation that completing my thesis will be worth it in the end. btw, Alex and I would get along like a house on fire in terms of field work - I could be a great minion if he and Shelby need one)
3. I hail from the wet, green, and currently muddy north pacific coast of the US, and
4. will happily pay postage.

I should win because

I didn't win last time I have been very much looking forward to Antimony having her own standalone novel.

Domestic, not international.

1. Commentses.
2. Dear RNG< I know you don't favor me much, but I ought win so the book can be read in three different households, in the company of three different black kitties, by four different people who will *all* continue to support the series by buying our own copies.
3. In the USA.
4. Could pay postage if needed.

I live in the US. The RNG should favor me, because I really need something awesome to read during my upcoming maternity leave.

If it's not too late to sneak in a late entry...

Oh grand and wonderful RNG, you should choose me because I freaking LOVE this series and also the circus is closing and that's sad.

I am not international (more's the pity).

MAGIC FOR NOTHING

1. Commented!
2. Tell the RNG why you should win: Because, well, I should get Magic for Nothing, and you've always bested me in the past - whether on board gaming or other giveaways, I never win. So pay me this favor. :D
3/4. I'm not international.

HAIL TO THE PRIESTESS OF WORDS AND MORE WORDS AND PROLIFIC WORDING.

Commenting here!!
The RNG should pick me because Antimony is my favorite of the three Price children and I'm SO EXCITED for her first book!!
I am in the US

Thank you!!!!

From the US here (though I'd still be willing to pay postage)!

I ADORE Incryptid! The mice, the Prices, the dancing... all of it. But so do all of the other commenters. Why should I be the one favored by the RNG? Because I have a black snake living in my barn. His name is Fred, he eats mice, and he occasionally frightens folks who aren't aware of his existence. That's what I've got. Pick me!

Dear RNG,

I broke my finger during a sword fight and would like an awesome book to distract me while I'm waiting for it to heal.

I'm in the US.

For the win

Dear RNG

My post should be chosen since i is my favorite number.

Just like the oscars last night I know that I'm the winner even if my name doesn't get announced first.

Dear RNG,

Please let me win, because I have offered many prayers to Constance and Mercutio, patron saints of the Random Number Generator.

I am in California, and I would be happy to pay for postage.

Thank you!
