Congratulations to Amy and Simone for winning the first two Mockingjay pins! If you didn’t win this time, no worries – just make sure you check back for more give-aways during the Summer of Hunger Games.
See you tributes on Friday at noon for our first Hunger Games discussion!
So begins the Summer of Hunger Games!
If you have not started reading already, get on it. We will being discussing parts I and II on Friday. And to get your hunger going, we are going to kick things off today by giving away two Mockingjay Pins. Yay! These pins are exclusive to Scholastic Book Clubs so they are pretty rare. To enter, just comment on this post and be sure to include this phrase in your comment: “I want a Book Clubs Mockingjay pin!”
In addition to the pin, each of the two winners will receive a paperback copy of the Hunger Games to get started on the Summer of Hunger Games. If you already have a copy, you can give it to a friend! I’m sure they won’t mind!
You will have until tomorrow July 27th, 2010 at 12pm EST to enter. We will draw two (2) names at random tomorrow 1pm EST. Click here for RULES.
If you don’t win this time, do not worry. We will be having these all month long leading up to the anticipated release of the 3rd book in the series, Mockingjay! If you are interested in seeing how you can purchase a Mockingjay pin, be sure to check out September’s Tab and Teen Readers’ Book Clubs, which you can start ordering from on the first week of August! These pins come with your pre-ordered Mockingjay book if you order from Scholastic Book Clubs.
Also, don’t forget…if you can’t wait until Friday to start discussing, join the conversation on Twitter. We are using the #SoHG hashtag.
Let the games begin… and may the odds be ever in your favor.
