Want one of the last few?

Your challenge is this: give me a creative reason why I should mail you one of my last few ARCs of Midnight Never Come.

And I do mean creative. None of this "'cause I really want to read it" stuff; tell me how, if you have an ARC, you will leverage it for Total World Domination. Or how your kitten is being driven mad by alien implants in her brain and only this book can save her. Bonus points for plausible logic, even if it's entirely nonsensical in its premises.

(I'm looking forward to these answers.)

One or more of those who amuse me the most will get an ARC mailed to them next week. You have until Friday to post your answers here, or e-mail them to marie dot brennan at gmail dot com.

After I read it, I plan to pulp it, then use it to create a tiny papier-mâché model of Whitehall Palace, which I will populate with a tiny living papier-mâché Tudor court, including a tiny living papier-mâché Queen Mary I (complete with tiny papier-mâché tumor). And she will eagerly burn tiny living popsicle-stick heretics at the stake.

Unfortunately, though, I suspect that her lust for burnings will result in her own quick demise, as she and her court and her palace will all be papier-mâché, and will almost assuredly burn when the popsicle-stick heretics go up in flame. Which is a shame, I think, since I would otherwise plan for it to burn under the rule of tiny papier-mâché William III of Orange, about 140 years later.
