The Hunger Games movie is released in 3 weeks and I, like so many thousands of others, can’t wait to see it. Until last year, I hadn’t read any of the Hunger Games books, but finally told myself I had to sit down and read them before the movie came out.

Well have I got a giveaway for you! The lovely people at Scholastic New Zealand have sent me 2 copies of The Hunger Games: Collector’s Edition to give away to 2 lucky NZ readers. I’ll also throw in a bonus Adults Hoyts Movie Pass with each book.

Ever since John Schu (@MrSchuReads) and Colby Sharp (@colbysharp) of the Nerdy Book Club started raving about R.J. Palacio’s Wonder I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a copy and find out what made this book so amazing. The wait was definitely worth it and I’m loving this wonderful story.
If you haven’t heard about it, here’s the blurb:
WONDER is the funny, sweet and incredibly moving story of Auggie Pullman. Born with a terrible facial deformity, this shy, bright ten-year-old has been home-schooled by his parents for his whole life, in an attempt to protect him from the stares and cruelty of the outside world. Now, for the first time, Auggie is being sent to a real school – and he’s dreading it. The thing is, Auggie’s just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he’s just like them, underneath it all? Through the voices of Auggie, his big sister Via, and his new friends Jack and Summer, WONDER follows Auggie’s journey through his first year at Beecher Prep.
I have one copy of Wonder to give away. All you have to do is enter your details in the form below and I’ll randomly pick a winner. Competition closes Wednesday 29 February, 2012. Open internationally.

The Story of Bo and the Circus That Wasn’t is about a sheep called Bo who has always dreamed of being an acrobat. He’s not going to let the fact that he’s a sheep or that he’s afraid of heights get in the way of his dream.

His friends are right behind him and want to help him live his dream, but can he overcome his fears?
