Those of you who have read the book understand that eyes have a certain D100D significance. And so, a contest.

Prizes:

The Dust of 100 Dogs (or your choice of a signed rare D100D ARC that I found & bought online. Even though I dislike ARCs, because they aren't the final version, I know people dig having them.)
2nd=A cool VOG (Very Odd Gift) & a book of your choosing from my giveaway shelf.
3rd=A book of your choosing from my giveaway shelf.
The Catch: No one can win until we have 100 entries. The contest will end at midnight the day we reach 100 entries. So, spread the word!

Good luck!

Damn my eyes! Often straying,
but they always return home.
The right one keeps twitching, the left one doesn't.
(seriously. my right eye has a temporary twitch this week--probably excited as I am to go to Tucson.)
Wish they were still closed, dreaming of chickens & grain.
YES--I DID enter to close out this darn contest!
A twitching eye: Mark of a King, and a Chief Inspector.
Okay, that's not about my eyes...
A.S. - ya can't enter your own contest! - that has to be in a rule book somewhere. (You especially cannot win your own contest.) And you can't close it until midnight, remember?
Sara -- I need you to come run my blog for me! You're so organized! But yes--when I got to 100, I changed today's WOW blog to reflect that the contest closes at midnight. Thanks!
Amy
Also--about me entering my own contest...we're pretty used to having a bit of fun around here. You'll get used to it! If you're looking for strict rules and stuff, you might want to try the third door on the right. I hear those guys are total hard asses.
Thanks for all your entries guys! Winner announced on Friday night!
