wilderthanI've been meaning to do this post for a while, and haven't had the energy, so I'll just make it quick instead of the splurge of linking and enthusiasm I was going to include!
Basically, N.K. Jemisin is one of my favourite new authors. Her first book, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, is the start of a trilogy, the second book of which is coming out soon. You can find my enthusiastic review of the first book here. Now, without the power of friends' recommendations, I'd never have heard of her, so I'm passing on the favour.
(I've bought three copies of her book already, if that helps you understand how enthusiastic I am. One is mine, which my sister is currently reading; one is my girlfriend's; one istrialia's from a previous, smaller giveaway. And I've preordered the second book for myself!)
More than that, I'm offering to send out three copies, for free. There are only three conditions regarding how to enter to get the chance to receive one of them.
1) You have to live in a country that the Book Depository ships to. List here.
2) You have to be okay with giving me your address. I could technically paypal you the money, but I'd rather not get into that.
3) You have to leave a comment here (LiveJournal or Dreamwidth, either is fine). You don't have to say anything special: as long as I can get in contact with you in some way if your name comes out of the hat, it's fine.
Feel free to promote this wherever you like, as much as you like. Entries do not have to be by people I know. I'll have one of my housemates pick three names out of a hat in a week's time.
Please note that I'm not affiliated with the author in any way; I'm just a fan who wants to spread the love.
GIVEAWAY CLOSED!
Currently contacting the winners (sweet_sparrow, remula, and faevii). If I don't have an address for someone by next week, I'll redraw.

LOL whoops. I am so stoned right now it's hilarious. I read that as you were giving away the second one, hence the comment, but yeah, I am still getting you the thing I saw today that you would love, for winter holiday :)

I might well do a giveaway of the second book, too, but I'm gonna wait for it to be out first, to spread out the cost!
