Giveaway: Free Stuff! Or, Books We Like Free (Sort Of) to a Good Home

[helloladies]

What would a theme week be without a giveaway? Free stuff is great! We decided to take this opportunity to shove books we found interesting at you with no remorse, chain you to a couch and make you read them share a chance to send copies of books featuring lady authors out into the world.

GIVEAWAY, starring:
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
A Wish After Midnight by Zetta Elliott
Kindred by Octavia Butler


QUALIFYING COMMENTS, a set of directions:
1. OpenID is for winners!
2. A comment from a logged-in Dreamwidth account.
3. An Anonymous comment, signed with your Name and URL.
4. An email sent to thisisladybusiness@gmail.com.


ENTERING, the rules for play:
1. To enter, please prepare a short book recommendation list (three to five items¹).
2. Items should all be speculative fiction (bonus points for science fiction!²):
3. Each item should follow first two tenets of Lady Business: Stories written by ladies about ladies and Stories written by ladies about dudes.
4. Share why you like each title. No adherence to Lady Business tenet of tl;dr required; we're just nosy.
5. Post/email your list!
6. PROFIT!³


The giveaway will run through now to July 29th and end with us sending someone some free books and more importantly, end with lots of recommendations for us to drool over. This is awesome!



¹ We're basically demanding homework. No shame.
² These bonus points are not actually real and will be awarded in our hearts only.
³ No actual profit unless you win, although sharing lady-recs is very profitable in a mushy soul-warming kind of way.

I love Tananrive Due

Due's writing is great and visually beautiful. The final book in The My Soul to Keep series comes out in Sept, its called My Soul to Take. It's already in my pile. Someone I know has already read and loved it.

Yay, I'm glad someone else knows her writing! I read the first book in 1998 and that turn of phrase has always stayed with me. :-)

Ooh, I think I might reread the entire series! I haven't read her since book two but since the final one is coming out I'd like to revisit the entire series as a whole.

Thanks for the heads-up!
