Cheryl Rainfield is giving away three copies of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I've been looking forward to reading this one ever since I saw Stephen King's review as well as Jen Robinson's excellent review. If you're interested leave a comment on Cheryl's post. Good luck!
I hope you get a chance to read it soon. I'm certain that you'll like it!
