It’s the start of Eight Crazy Nights: a giveaway every day for Hanukkah, the festival of fried foods and wrestling bits of candle wax out of the menorah after cramming the candles in their bases each night for a week-plus-one.
But that’s beside the point. Our first giveaway is for an ARC of Jessica Andersen’s Dawn Keepers. We have three to give away, and Doc Jess will select randomly from your comments, provided you answer her question:
If we posit that the world *is* going to end on 12/21/2012…what is one thing you absolutely want to do between now and then?
Leave your comment, and you’re entered to win. You have 24 hours – ready, set, go!
Oh love the cover!
Oh besides making sure I read every book I had! I’d not sure what books I could bring to heaven with me so I’d have to get them all read before then, LOL. That includes so many I want to buy LOL
I’d go to visit Scotland! I want to see those MIK (Men In Kilts) and visit some castles. If they don’t have much, then I’ll need to time travel back to Medieval too! LOL I love the question!
I would spend every minute enjoying and appreciating my wonderful family…plus, I would try and get through my entirely too large to be read pile.
Well, leaving aside the obvious “spend time with my family”, I’d learn to fly a helicopter! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but the expense is prohibitive. However, if the world’s ending in a few years then there’s no need to save for the future.
Why a helicopter rather than a plane? Helicopters are much prettier, and I love that they can hover. It’s like that extra kick in gravity’s teeth: planes have to keep running away from gravity, but helicopters can hang around and smirk at it.
I would go out of my mother lovin’ mind. Seriously. The End of the World (as we know it) would be the perfect time to do all the crazy shit you wanted to do. So I would:
Go get a bunch of kittens and puppies from the pound (It’s the end of the world, I don’t think they’re going to have waiting periods), buy awesome pet supplies, buy copious amounts of Vodka and other Hard A, round up some friends and party like the world is ending (which it is). Basically, be as hedonistic as possible. The world’s ending, what do I care?
Take a lover, Travel a bit more, take some more time to relax (with a book!) instead of working so damn hard for the future and learn to cook, then have cooking parties with my friends and family (accomplishing three goals: eat more delicious food, learn to cook and spend more time with the people I love)
