Catching fire fever

Just a couple of book-related notes today. If you are still looking for a copy of Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, the much-anticipated sequel to The Hunger Games head over to Linus' blanket for a chance at a give away!! Go ahead and leave a comment for your chance to win (even though I want to win the most!!!).


The other day as I was browsing Gennifer Choldenko's website for my last post I was so happily surprised to find myself quoted on her author page. I had to show my son, my mother and my brother and call my husband and well, now all of you (my three readers, insert smiley face). Check it out here and scroll past the cool prison photo-op. Love it!!! Thank you Gennifer!!

Thank you also goes out to Shelf Elf for randomly picking me to win a copy of Also known as Harper by Ann Haywood Leal. ***great author website:)
I can't wait to read this book, which is about a young poet growing up in poverty. The character names alone are interesting; Harper-named for the famous Harper Lee and her brother, Hemingway. Thank you to the rep at Henry Holt for sending it to me!

Take a look at this great review by Mrs Magoo!
