Who wants an ARC?

Posted by Rachel Vincent

Okay, sorry for the delay, but I’m finally ready to give away some ARCs! So, if you’re interested in an advanced reading of Pride, you’re in the right place. And all you have to do is leave a comment in this post. And read the rules and qualifiers, of course. Because if you break one, I will disqualify you from this contest and delete your entry. Seriously. And I'm not even grinning when I say that. ;-)

(Though I obviously couldn't resist the smiley face.)


I will draw two winners at random on Saturday and will ship ARCs anywhere in the world (so long as FedEx, UPS, or the US Post Office will go there) and having won one of my previous contests does not disqualify you from this one.

To be clear, you qualify if:

  • You’re not related to me
  • You haven’t already received or been promised an ARC of Pride
  • You haven’t already read the book in any of its previous formats (including the original manuscript).

Rules:

  • You must leave a comment here before 11:59 pm (central) on Friday, December 5th to win.
  • Your comment must be signed, if you don’t have a Blogger account, so I know who to announce as the winners.
  • Do NOT sign your entry with your email address. That’s a great way to get spammed.
  • One entry per person only. Seriously. If I find out you’ve entered more than once, you’ll be disqualified from this contest, and all my future giveaways.

A note: if your comment does not appear immediately, please don't panic and leave another one. The comments have to be approved by me before they show up, and I can't always get to them right away. But I will get to them. If your comment does not appear by the next morning, feel free to resubmit. And for the record, I do not edit the comments, nor do I reject them based on content. I'm just trying to avoid spam. ;-)

Also, this contest is running concurrently with another Pride ARC giveaway on my CP’s blog. You may enter both contests to increase your chance of winning; we thought it’d be fun to run them together. But if you win both giveaways, I’ll replace your name with another from my entry list, to avoid giving someone two ARCs. ‘Cause that just wouldn’t be fair, right? ;-)

Okay, start commenting! And if you don't win, don't worry. I hope to give away more later, both here and on other blogs...

Strange, but there is an empty spot in my ARC bookcase. It is somewhere in the "V" section....why yes, I believe Vincent would fit there quite nicely.

How about it? (big cheesy grin)

Are you going to RT in 2009? Hopefully, I will see you there...since I am driving, I will be bringing lots of books to be signed, yours included. ;-)

Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said many times before. Yes, I want an ARC of Pride. Yes, I will do a review o it after I read it. I am going to buy a copy of it in February when it comes out even if I win because I believe in supporting authors as much as I can ( and since books are my addiction, I support authors a whooooolllleee lot!)I bout the first book just because I liked the blurb and the second was preordered just to make sure that I would not have search for it. I can't wait for the next 2 books. You are a great author and I look forward to your new series as well.
