Hunger Games/Dystopian Celebration Giveaway!!

There's no doubt that dystopian novels were around long before The Hunger Games ever existed, but it's safe to say the current resurgence it the genre's popularity is because of this book. Even though it looks like I'm not going to be able to see the movie until next weekend, I am still super excited about it. Especially since movie reviews are popping up all over the blogosphere!

To celebrate the movies release and spotlight other dystopican books, I'm going to be giving away to one lucky winner, a book from the below list:



The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (For you crazy people who haven't read it!)
Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
Partials by Dan Wells
Obernewtyn by Isobelle Carmody
Article 5 by Kristen Simmons
Legend  by Marie Lu
Tomorrow When The War Began by John Marsden
Divergent by Veronica Roth
Angelfall by Susan Ee (Purchased from Createspace)
Enclave by Ann Aguirre
Wither  by Laura DeStefano
Uglies  by Scott Westerfeld

Aside from Angelfall, all other books will be ordered from The Book Depository. I am happy for people to request sequels to any of the books mentioned if they have already read the first books.

Good Luck and may the odds be ever in your favour! (Score one for me for using that in this giveaway!)

    Rue is my favorite by far. I feel like she didn't let the Capital control her, she stayed true to herself. Thanks for the chance!

    Oh yay! I love Hunger Games celebration (and giveaway)! Thank you for the awesome giveaway, Lan! <3

    I guess you must have realized that my favorite character in Hunger Games aside of the main characters is Finnick Odair! Well, my obsession on him is pretty obvious. ;) Finnick is super CUTE and HOT and NICE and STRONG and... okay, you sure don't want me to start rambling here. xD

    PS: Have you watched the movie? I'm SO EXCITED! x)

    Aside from the main characters, Cinna is a pretty cool character, and a real genius with his costuming.

    Oh my gosh, I went to see the movie last night and it was AMAZING, Lan!! Since it was opening night, it was crazy busy, but all the waiting and rushing and trying not to get trampled was completely worth it! I can't wait until you have the chance to see it next weekend too -- it's definitely one of the best books-to-movies out there! ;)

    And I'd have to say that one of my favourite side characters would be Cinna -- I love him so much! He's so good to Katniss even before she really meets him, and then he continues to be pure awesome to the very end! If I ever became the want-a-stylist kind of girl, I'd definitely pick him! :)

    YAY for Hunger Games fans uniting!! <3 Thanks so much, Lan!

    Wow, love this giveaway! Awesome books, and I love that Angelfall is up there. Totally deserves it.

    Other than the MC's (Peeta is probably my fave), my otherwise favorite character is Finnick. LOVE that kooky guy! He's charmingly hilarious, yet tragic. I cannot wait to see what hunky, lucky guy is going to be cast as him in Catching Fire.

  23. rocksann25 March 2012 at 10:39

    Cinna because he was so creative & inspirational. It was his creations that captured the audience & made people take notice of Katniss. I also loved Finnick (gorgeous & his love for Annie was so sweet).

  30. Camille Picott26 March 2012 at 14:29

    This is an awesome giveaway! My favorite character is Peeta. He's the sort of person I strive to be. :)

    Favorite dystopian book -- well, I love lots of them, but I think Octavia Butler took it to a new level in the Parable of the Sower. I am haunted by this book, and it's been years since I've read it.

    Thanks for the list -- I'm going to add some of these to my TBR list.

  31. Noely Jeleen26 March 2012 at 19:12

    My favorite character, aside from Katniss and Peeta, is Primrose.
    Primrose has this compassionate attitude that was really evident with the way Katniss talks about her and, ultimately, with the way Primrose herself acts. Her love of animals and the fact that she can't hunt because she would want to help the poor animal instead is very much endearing for me. Also, the fact that she wasn't afraid to help out injured people despite the face of danger is admirable. I especially love how strong-willed and matured she was in Mockingjay.

  32. Vivien27 March 2012 at 02:12

    Cinna....he's detrimental to the uprising. Without his character...I don't think Katniss grows into the same person. He really helps her break out of that naiveté.

    I would say my favorite character beside the main three is Haymitch. He provides some comedy relief; also he is so much like Katniss. And he is one of the first to openly oppose The Capitol.

    I really liked Cato, and even more so in the movie. His character development was amazing, especially at the end, when he figured out what was going on, what the Capitol was really doing. He found out his whole life was a sham. Plus the actor wasn't bad to look at at all...!!

    Katniss is definitely my favourite, but other then her I love Rue, Prim, Cinna, Annie an Finnick. Maybe it's Finnick, not because he's handsom and makes all the girls faint and titter, but because he cares for Annie so much, loves her so passionately.

    I think Haymitch Abernathy is my favourite. For one thing, I have a soft spot for difficult, grumpy characters. =P For another, I think he is the way he is for a valid reason. Can you imagine being responsible for training two young people, knowing that only one of them (at most) may make it back alive, and seeing both of them die brutal, bloody deaths, year after year, for decades??? Yeah, I get Haymitch.

    (Full disclosure: I've only read the first Hunger Games book, so the above paragraph is based on that. If Haymitch does something unforgivable in the next two books, I'm obviously not aware of it yet--and don't want to be until I'm actually reading them! =P)

    Thanks for the giveaway. =)

  83. Lori30 March 2012 at 11:25

    Haymitch is my favorite non-main character character. He seems at first to just be the comic relief town drunk but becomes a such a different character by the end. He has lived a very difficult life and thus drinks a lot, but when we learn about his past, we can actually forgive him. He really does care about Katniss and Peeta. I have a soft spot for Haymitch and thought Woody Harrelson did a great job portraying him in the movie.
