My dearly beloved friend Jim Hines (<a href='http://www.jimchines.com/'>http://www.jimchines.com/</a>) has a new book out today: <i>Codex Born</i>, the sequel to <i>Libriomancer</i>. The magic of books has never been so real, or so incredibly dangerous.<br /><br />I really, really loved this book, which I felt expanded and improved upon the world of the original, so when Jim asked if I would be willing to host a giveaway, I was happy to oblige. This is that giveaway. The rules:<br /><br />1. Leave a comment on this post, naming the first book that really changed your life.<br />2. Identify your location in the world (US, non-US).<br />3. If non-US, confirm that you are willing to pay postage (for we are poor writers).<br /><br />The winner will be chosen by RNG on Friday, August 9th, and Jim himself will be sending a signed copy of <i>Codex Born</i> to the winner. If you're not familiar with the series, you're in luck: book one, <i>Libriomancer</i>, is out today in paperback, so you can get all caught up.<br /><br />Books! Magic! Awesomeness!<br /><br />GAME ON!<br /><br /><b>ETA:</b> Guys, I know it's tempting to discuss people's awesome taste in books with them, but please DO NOT REPLY to comments on RNG giveaway posts! It confuses the RNG, and has resulted in people NOT getting the prizes that they should have received!
