As promised, we have a SuperFantasticGiveaway of Catching Fire. Thea liked The Hunger Games (book 1) and absolutely loved Catching Fire, so we highly recommend you get in on this fabulous trilogy by Suzanne Collins. Read on for more on Catching Fire, prizes, and how to enter your name for the giveaway! First, some background information on the book.
CATCHING FIRE
Sparks Will Fly 09.01.09
(The second book in The Hunger Games series)
The Summary:
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games. She and fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol — a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.
Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she’s afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her more is that she’s not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol’s cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can’t prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

I would like to enter this giveaway. I’ve read the first book and really liked it. Oh and I’m on team Peeta!!!
Oh, I would love to be entered. My son was just telling me about Hunger Games and how he would really like to read it…this is quite amazing because he is not a reader.
I am not sure which team because I have not read Hunger Games yet, but it is on my must buy list…when the kid asks specifically for a book you just have to buy it.
I would love to be entered! I haven’t made up my mind entirely, but for now I’m on team Peeta.

I just finished CF. Even better than the first…which was hard to beat. I’m still unsure if I’m team peeta or gale. Leaning more towards Peeta right now though.
Thanks for the awesome contest.
