Oh I would so love to have the Big Machine. Also I now know how to classify my own novel now in my mind. Literary /specultive I love it
What a cool contest! I'd love to have a copy of Like Trees Walking by Ravi Howard. Hope I win it. :D
OMG. I want so many of them. Guess I have to blow up your comments.
First, I would love ZORA AND ME.
Next, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and The Broken Kingdoms.
