Solstice Countdown Day #10 Giveaway: Wheel of Time & Brandon Sanderson Audio Pack

Brandon Sanderson audioToday’s Solstice Countdown Day #10 giveaway is a BIG ONE. We’re giving away three packs of the unabridged compact disc sets for Towers of Midnight, The Way of Kings, oh, and why the heck not, The Gathering Storm, written by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson and read by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer!

We’re giving away one pack on Facebook, one here on Tor.com, and one through Twitter. (Note: The Twitter audio pack does not include The Gathering Storm, as we couldn’t procure a copy of that in time.)

The Official Rules: To enter, post a comment in this post or under this article on Facebook. To enter on Twitter, you must retweet this specific giveaway tweet.

Updated to add: Also, you are allowed to enter once in all three places. i.e. once on Facebook, once here, once on Twitter. Just don't comment twice in only one of those places, please. (The Facebook post has finally appeared, as well.)

This is possibly the most lucrative prize in the entire Solstice Countdown, so want to open this up to as many folks as possible. That’s why this giveaway will be open for the next twelve hours (until 1:00 AM EST).

Three winners will be randomly selected from Facebook, Twitter, and Tor.com. Please check your email in the 48 hours after the giveaway has concluded; if we don’t hear back from the winner within 24 hours of being contacted, another winner will be chosen.


Info on Tor.com’s Solstice Countdown can be found here.

Would be great to try WoK in audio. It was the only Sanderson book to leave me cold, and I still can't figure out why. Maybe it needs to be read aloud.

With a bow and a flourish, I humbly accept this offer of generosity. Thus, I throw my proverbial hat into this proverbial ring, watching as it lands softly with a proverbial thud. Now I simply must hope that thud does not passed proverbially unnoticed! Or literally, for that matter.

A hundred and thirty three comments already! Blood and bloody buttered onions! (OK that went to 135 while I was posting. Not good.)

Well, I don't exist on facebook or twitter....so here goes nothing. After all, if you go hunting for lionfish in the sea of storms, you must expect to be eaten by the occasional silverpike.

Did that make sense? No. That's how badly I want these....I'm incoherent. Incoherent, I tell ya. So let me try again:

By the Light and my hope of salvation and rebirth, I swear that I really really want to win this one. If I lie, may the Creator’s face turn from me forever and darkness consume my soul.
