Winners of the Three Tor Books for 3 Winners Giveaway! And The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson is $1.26!

I have the three winners chosen from our giveaway last week. I'll await replies for a day or so and then pick new winners if I don't hear back.


1. Joshua Youngbluth (this is an Arrested Development spin-off family I take it) from St. George UT
2. Kathryn Werner from Oldtown ID
3. Clayton aka WaaarghPug from Puglia (I made up that last part)

As you can see I need some information, so I'll be getting in touch with the winners shortly. I have already notified the first winner who will get the first choice (and so on) at the three following books:

- The One-Eyed Man by L.E. Modesitt Jr.

- The Cusanus Game by Wolfgang Jeschke

- Shadows of the New Sun: Stories in Honor of Gene Wolfe

We always ask for snark and the snark goes to one of the winners, Clayton:

Snarky comments?  But then I would have to pretend that I read your blog and/or care about what you've written... I'm really just in it for the free stuff.

Yeah, that's about right. :)

eBook Deal:

[$1.26] The Way of Kings (Stormlight Archive #1) by Brandon Sanderson - OTBSFF review, as if you needed more reason to buy this.

Giveaway - Three Tor Books 3 Winners

I've got three Tor books to give away. I thought I might have time to read them, but it looks like it's just not in the cards. I figure I should try not to be a book hog for once. They are:

1. The One-Eyed Man by L.E. Modesitt, Jr.

2. The Cusanus Game by Wolfgang Jeschke

3. Shadows of the New Sun: Stories in Honor of Gene Wolfe

I will give these away to three different winners. The first place winner will get first pick, second place, second pick, and third third (i.e., no pick).

If you are interested in getting your hands on any of these books, then follow the exceedingly simple instructions below:

E-mail me your name and address at onlythebestsff@[removethis]gmail.com, with "Somemore Tor" as the subject of the email (or at least something that lets me know what the email is about). This goes without saying, but double emails get you disqualified.

Snarky comments increase your chances of winning by getting you bonus entries for future giveaways. This is US Only (sorry!) as long as delivery doesn't require the mounting of an expedition into remote wilderness.

EDIT: This giveaway will run for a week from this edit, until All Hallows Eve, October 31, 2013.
