The Great “Mockingjay” Giveaway on #FridayReads

August 25th, 2010

If you’re on Twitter, and you’re reading “Mockingjay” by Suzanne Collins, I want to know.

Why? Because I think it will be fascinating to gather as many of you who helped this title “trend” yesterday on Twitter and count you up. So if you’re part of the #Mockingjay hashtag, I want your help: Tell me so by adding my weekly #fridayreads hashtag to a tweet with #mockingjay in it, and I’ll automatically enter you in a giveaway.

The prize? I thought long and hard about this, and decided that in the spirit of Katniss, I would offer something that gives the winner freedom. If you are the winner (I choose winners of all of my giveaways using Random.org), I’ll give you a $50 gift certificate TO THE BOOKSTORE OF YOUR CHOICE.

That’s right! It can be an indie, a big-box, an online retailer — whatever makes YOUR life easier.

There is one catch: I need to hear from at least 500 of you to make this giveaway happen. Tell your reading friends! Remember: ALL you have to do is tweet “I’m reading #Mockingjay/#fridayreads.”

That’s it! One line to win $50 worth of books…I hope you can’t resist.

    I love the idea of a gift certificate to the bookstore of their choice! Great way to support independent booksellers rather than give into the ease of Amazon giftcards. Wish I was reading Mockingjay!
