Boring Giveaway

The universe must love me, because it recently gave me free books. A clerical error resulted in my receiving a box of books from Featherproof Books that I hadn’t ordered. The good-hearted, book-loving people at Featherproof then saw fit to let me keep the books. Why? Because they’re wonderful. Seriously. I already had a huge literary crush on this press before they told me to go ahead and keep the books. Now I think I might be in love. Go look at their list. Go on. Then come back, because I want to give you one of those books.

One of the books in that box is something I’d already bought from them: boring boring boring boring boring boring boring by Zach Plague. It’s waiting patiently on my to-be-read pile, and its time is coming soon. Which is to say that while I can’t yet give you a review of it, I can tell you I’m very much looking forward to reading it. I don’t need two copies, though. That would just be greedy, wouldn’t it?

Do you want it? Of course you do. Why wouldn’t you? Leave a comment (here. Not on Facebook or Twitter, so I can do the random number thing fairly), letting me know you want in on the drawing for the book. On Monday, March 15th (oooh…the Ides of March…) at 10a.m. PST (also known as post-preschool dropoff and mid-decaf Americano time) I’ll let the random number generator choose a winner.
