That's right, everyone. I am giving away my ARC of Kristin Cashore's Fire to one lucky winner (because I loved it so much, I'm planning to buy the hardcover when it comes out October 5th). And I'm not going to make you wait too long to get it, either... This contest is open only until 8pm EDT on Labor Day--that's Monday, September 7th. Assuming I get mailing info in a timely manner, I will get the ARC out in the mail to the winner on Tuesday, September 8th.
Here are the rules (you can leave one comment or several, but you know fewer comments makes it easier on me!):
+1 entry ~ Leave a comment telling me why you want to win my Fire ARC
+1 entry ~ Become a follower/friend on Google Friend Connect (if you already are a follower, that's +2 entries!) and leave a comment letting me know
+1 entry ~ Become a follower on Twitter (I'm @Melsbookshelf)
+3 entries each ~ Stumble this post, Digg this post, bookmark it on Del.icio.us (the buttons are located at the end of this post, making that super easy) and leave a comment letting me know you have!
Be sure to include your email address so I can get in touch with you if you win! Good luck to everyone!!

+1 I'll be honest, I had conflicting feelings for Graceling. I adored the fantasy elements and the world, though, so I really want more from that place! (Plus, I am having another go at Graceling to see how I feel about it now!)

I would love to win this book because I loved the first book and I HAVE to read the sequel. Unfortunately, my library is on a short budget, so they aren't planning on buying the sequel any time soon.
