GIVEAWAY: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Posted August 23, 2010 by Holly in Giveaways | 26 Comments

Thanks to Scholastic Books, we have 2 copies of Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, book 3) by Suzanne Collins to giveaway.

Mockingjay is the much anticipated conclusion to SC’s Hunger Games trilogy. My daughter has been salivating over this novel for MONTHS. She can’t wait for the release tomorrow. Rowena recently read the first two books and is dying for this one as well.

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she’s made it out of the bloody arena alive, she’s still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what’s worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss’s family, not her friends, not the people of District 12. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins’s groundbreaking The Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about books of the year.

Giveaway: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Posted September 1, 2009 by Holly in Giveaways | 59 Comments


Catching Fire is the second book of the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I’ve been hearing a ton of buzz about this series and we’re very pleased to be able to offer an amazing prize package in association with this book. Read on for details….

COULD YOU SURVIVE ON YOUR OWN, IN THE WILD, WITH EVERYONE FIGHTING AGAINST YOU?

Twenty- four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see.

Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Three (3) lucky winners will receive:

  • *very* limited edition promotional T-shirt
  • collectible mocking jay pin
  • copy of Catching Fire

To be entered to win one of the 3 prize packages, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post before 11:59 p.m. September 15.
