Not coincidentally, giveaways! Cindy Pon is giving away copies of Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor and an ARC of Okorafor's new YA book, Akata Witch, as well as a paperback copy of Ash by Malinda Lo and an ARC of the forthcoming prequel Huntress--the contest ends this Friday, 11 March.

On the new books front, The Qwillery is giving away a copy of Seanan McGuire's new book (Toby Daye #4), Late Eclipses (ends tomorrow).

And you can win an ARC of Cat Valente's new novel Deathless by leaving a comment on the book trailer at YouTube (ends tomorrow).
