The link for today's post is below, and all the details you need are there.

@skribe The whole point is they are meant to be gifts, so if they can be given in such a manner, then, yes.

@scalzi What a great way to browse titles! I already know I have "reading Whatever" in common with these folks. Pulled a couple titles to gift myself, as well. ^_^

@scalzi Say, I had a new book out last october and I wonder if it fits the bill for tomorrow. It's an independent edition allright, but there's a catch: it's not in English. It's in Portuguese.

Would it be adecuate, or wouldn't it?

@scalzi Well, I might do it, then, more as a form of activism (let's open the whole SF thing to the vast diversity of the world, linguistic and otherwise) than advertising.

If you're up to it, maybe other people from other linguistic bubbles (or from my own) follow suit.
