I just started The Blood Mirror by @BrentWeeks and that man is a national treasure worthy of his own Nick Cage movie

@BrentWeeks‘s newest book is SO GOOD I built an entire bookcase just to hold it! 😀 pic.twitter.com/pNK4mRRVF7

Quietly waiting for @BrentWeeks to admit that Murder Sharp is just a self-insert.

How dare you accuse me of taking a day off work to read @BrentWeeks The Blood Mirror. I’d come in to prove you wrong, but I’m busy…

Limited Bookplate Giveaway #2: UK and Ireland
UPDATE: We’ve reached our 50-fan limit, and the giveaway is now closed!
United Kingdom and Ireland, you didn’t think I forgot about you, did you?
I’d originally wanted to do a giveaway for 100 fans from the UK/Ireland/Australia/New Zealand… and then I realized how unfair that might be, considering that 8am in Sydney is 10pm in London. So we split this into two giveaways!
UK and Ireland fans, I’m sorry I couldn’t make it there to tour this year. For the first 50 people to sign up from those countries, I’ll be mailing you a signed Lightbringer bookplate on November 4, 2016. Once the first 50 have signed up, that’s it. So don’t delay!
Here’s the bookplate:

(We do ask for your email in order to contact you if we have any problems at the post office with your mailing address.)
Limited Bookplate Giveaway: AUS/NZ Readers!
UPDATE: The giveaway is now closed! Thank you for the enthusiastic response! If you were in the first 50 to sign up, look for your bookplate in a few weeks!
Because I’m not able to make it to Australia or New Zealand this book tour — I’m hosting a bookplate giveaway! For the first 50 people from those countries who fill out the below form, I will sign and mail you a free bookplate to place in the inside front cover of The Blood Mirror. Bookplates will be shipping November 4, 2016.
Here’s an example:
This will likely go quick, and once we have all 50, that will be it, so sign up now!
