I got a box of advance reader copies (ARCs) of my book today! I picked them up at FedEx and opened the box right in my car using a key because I just. couldn't. wait. And - behold! The most beautiful sight I've ever seen! (You can tell I took this photo in my car. That's the inside of the passenger door of my beloved Accord.)
Advance reader copies are used for promotion before a book comes out. So despite my zombie-like urge to wander the streets blindly handing these out to everyone I meet, I have to use them for giveaways and reviews to supplement the publicity my publisher does.
They are uncorrected, unofficial, without the texture or cover copy of the final book - and they are GORGEOUS.
I may take one to bed with me. Like a teddy bear. I can still give that one away right?
Keep an eye on this space for giveaways and contests! Huzzah!

So pretty! And I'll definitely be back for giveaways--I haven't gotten as many donations for my Pens for Paws auction as I wanted, so I'm trolling the web for books I can win and then put in the auction.
Thanks, Angelica! Hopefully we can get you an ARC for what sounds like a very worthy cause! Leter I'll also be doing giveaways of the final book too, and I'll have more of them to give to folks like you!
