Literature. Love, Lula

by Mama Kat on 02/07/2010 · 66 comments

I mentioned awhile ago that I was reading The Hunger Games in a post where I talked about my love for the blogosphere and more specifically for Lula, who mailed me the book and it’s sequel.  I finished them months ago and meant to tell you…holy smokes. SO good. I don’t care if you’re a “reader” or not, you will read this and you will love it. I promise. And believe me, I am not one to put my name on something that I don’t genuinely like.

MY REPUTATION IS AT STAKE HERE!

Anyways, in honor of Lula’s generosity for sending me the best books I’ve read so far this year…I’d like to pay it forward in a giveaway I’m calling Literature. Love, Lula. She mailed me the books. I’m in love. And I will mail one of YOU the books for you to love…but only under one condition:

After you read the books YOU must pay it forward too and host another Literature. Love, Lula post and send them to a lucky winner on YOUR blog for them to love (and they must do the same and so on and so forth).

That’s it.

Leave a comment if you want in on the pay it forward giveaway and experience the goodness that is The Hunger Games.
