While Ruth is gone, we’re using this opportunity to clear out some of these stacks of books we’ve got in the way around here. And when we say “stacks”, we don’t mean those nice rows of organized shelved books like Ruth’s hiding out in at her university library. These are more like stalagmites jutting up from a cave floor (or stalactites for those of us who read upside down on the ceiling), except that these are teetering.

We need to get rid of some of them. We’d also like, at the same time, to distribute some of our lovely FanLit bookmarks (featuring art by one of our favorite authors and artists, Janny Wurts) across the United States and the UK.

So, here’s your job (the part where you do the thinking):

1. Leave a comment telling us what perfect place(s) you can leave/distribute FanLit bookmarks and how many of them you can handle. (Hint: if it’s a bookstore, library, etc, you may need to ask permission).

2. Find a couple of books or audiobooks you want from our teetering stacks. If you’re a winner, we’ll send you one of your choices. We’ve got old books, we’ve got new books, we’ve got red books, we’ve got blue books.

3. Contact us and give us your address (United States or UK) and tell us your first two book choices from the stacks.

We’ll pick a few of you and send you one of your book choices and some bookmarks to give out.

And, to whet your appetite, here is a small sampling of books we’ve got to give away:
