I'm one of the only people on the planet that has yet to read The Hunger Games. I know I need to read it, I do own a copy, I just haven't had time to fit it into my reading schedule. Had I gotten a copy for review it probably would have been a different story, but that's how it works out sometimes. However! That doesn't damper my enthusiasm for announcing this {insert adjective here: awesome, amazing, mind blowing... something like that would work} contest.

Let me share with you the cover at and synopsis:

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Having just passed the ultimate test of survival—the Hunger Games—sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark defied the Capitol and their harsh rules. But even as both won their families a life of safety, now the Capitol wants revenge. Despite her feelings for Gale Hawthorne, Katniss must showcase her love for Peeta on a cruel Victory Tour, and the stakes are higher than ever. Rumors of unrest are spreading quickly, and to Katniss and Peeta’s shock, they’ve become the face of a dangerous rebellion. But how will they be able to take on the Capitol and protect their families? In Catching Fire, the second installment of the Hunger Games, only one thing is certain: sparks will fly!
