Mockingjay Announcement
All of you know how much I love the Hunger Games series and how fiercely I defend Gale and how quickly I’d cast off Peeta.
(I’d cast Peeta off so fast that his loaf of bread would go flying. Huh huh. His…bread stick would go flying. His…croutons would fall off.)
Sidebar: did you know The Hunger Games has an official Facebook page? Like it! Love it!
So when I was asked to be the sixth stop on the Official Mockingjay 13 District Blog Tour, I squealed like the teenage girl I really am.
I’ll be posting on:
Friday, August 13th
Oh yes. And there will be an exclusive giveaway.
And what I’ll be posting about is oh so very close to my heart.
I.
CAN’T.
WAIT.

I won’t be able to re-read them prior to my post, but would love to do a read along! Maybe we can do weekly recaps/discussion. Lively debate over Gale/Peeta issues? LOL

On Aug. 23rd we’re
having the coolest Mockingjay party ever! It’s called the Midnight
Uprising. The Tree in Oak Park, Il. is recreating Dist. 12, 13 and the
Capitol (little bits of each). There’ll be munchies (watch for those
Avoxes), music, tattoos, trivia, fashion design competition and a reading
by Suzanne Collins (through the magic of the computer) from Mockingjay at
midnight. Everyone who preorders and pays for the book (with a discount
too) will receive a pass for the party. Winners of the writing and
illustrating contests will be announced that night too. And, on Sunday
Aug. 15 we’re hosting Catching Fire, The Game. People are invited to
participate on a life-sized gameboard. This game was developed for us
exclusively. Go to magictreebooks.com for info.

So now I know the beginning, the end and the middle. Eventually I will find them all. If it wasn’t bed time then I would make it my quest for the next few hours!

I am SO jealous that you get to be on the tour! I assume that means you get to read it early. OMG!

Arg. I just got done feeling green with envy over at District 1 (GalleySmith). Now I’ve gone an even deeper shade of green. Okay, I’ll get over the unattractive envy and play along with you. Can’t wait!
