Since this is my first giveaway, there's going to be the option of getting more entries. (Since I'm not firmly established in the book blog world just yet. :)
The first book for the giveaway is.....
The Hunger Games, by Suzanne CollinsThis is a hardback copy in perfect condition, bought when it was still 'just out'. Stephenie Meyer had just posted her review of it, so I decided to try it out. My review of it is here. It's graded a little low, but I think that's a personal preference, not a reflection on the writing. So many people are giving away copies of Catching Fire, I thought some people might want a copy of Hunger Games.
The second book for the giveaway (and so you have a choice), is...
Double Identity, by Margaret HaddixThis is also a hardback copy in perfect condition, but it is by Scholastic, so it's got the red logo on the spine.
I read this book about a year ago, but have never reviewed it. Just remember it's for juvenile readers - and if there's one thing Haddix excels at, it's that she completely tailors her books for the appropriate age group. You can read the synopsis at fantastic fiction here.
Ok...now, how do you enter?
Leave a comment, with a way to contact you. Also let me know which book you'd pick, and if you can't have your first choice, if you'd still be interested in the other one.
For more entries:
+2 if you were already a follower
+1 for becoming a follower
+1 for each time you post about me on your blog. (i.e. sidebar, blogpost, etc.) Leave a link and tell me where to look.
+1 For commenting on the Hunger Games review - tell me what YOU thought of the book and why. I realize most people really love this book, of course, but tell me why, and don't worry about offending me - I'm harsh on my book reviews, that's all.
+2 For writing a review on The Red Necklace, by Sally Gardner and emailing it to me [rae_sunshine4(at)yahoo.com] - then next week we'll post a multiple-review of the book, including Trackgeek's. (finally) You don't have to include a synopsis.
The contest ends October 1st, but I won't tally up and choose one until the 2nd, when I get online and figure it all out. and P.S. Yes, this time we will ship internationally, but I can't guarantee that for all our future giveaways.
Thanks!

I already own Hunger Games but would take Double Identity.
I doubt you would count this for extra entries, but over the summer I wrote a review of the Red Necklace. If you want to link it, or use it that's fine, just credit. Here is the review link: http://readingisthespiceoflife.blogspot.com/2009/08/review-of-red-necklace-by-sally-gardner.html
