Mockingjay – The Tour

Remember a couple of days ago when I announced on Twitter that I had a BIG announcement to make? An announcement that I was barely able to contain because I’m so super excited about it?
Well let me tell you, excited is an understatement!
Let me start by saying that anyone who knows me, or follows this blog or my Twitter, knows that my number one all time favorite series of like *ever* is Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games novels. Of course, we also alllll know that Mockingjay, the third and final book in the series, is dropping at the end of August.
**sobs**
Thankfully, last week I was given a great little respite of distraction for the sorrow over the finality of it all. It definitely turned my frown upside down. Because, I was invited to participate in the Mockingjay Blog Tour! When asked if I wanted to be a stop I jumped at the opportunity. Hells yea I want in!
Now before everyone starts freaking out over it I did NOT get a copy of the book. That was not part of the bargain (understandably so) I entered into. What I do get is this super awesome badge to display and I get to represent a particular District from the books.
Drum roll please!!
Meet District 1.
**princess wave**
And a princess I am since District 1 is all about the luxury goods. I’m totally down with the spa treatment. I’ll be wrapping myself in a politically incorrect fur coat, popping the cork on some Cristal, and dipping my fingers in some expensive cheeses and caviar as I give you all the lowdown on the tour.
So, the deets. You all already know that I am representing District One in the Official Mockingjay 13 District Blog Tour. I’ll be making my official post on Monday August 2nd and while I won’t be sharing with you what the subject matter is I’ll say that I’m loving it. Love, love, loving it!
As part of the tour I’ve been given a fancy schmancy badge.
Represent, y’all!
Now you know, I usually don’t do the whole side bar graphics thing, but, you know…it’s Suzanne Collins and Mockingjay. Exceptions must be made. So starting this Friday that badge over there will be linked up to the Official Blog Tour Announcement on the brand spankin’ new Official Hunger Games Facebook Page when it goes live.
What fun is there in all this for you? Well, besides getting to read the awesome post I have in store for you, I’m gonna be giving stuff away. Cool stuff. Stuff that I totally want to keep for myself. Follow me what I’m sayin’?
So there you have it all. My excitement abounds, Mockingjay’s release is closer with every day and I’m starting to get really really anticipatory. I’m glad there will be great Hunger Games focused stuff around the blogosphere leading up to it all! Buckle up and get ready for the ride cause it’s gonna be a doozy!

Congrats! This sounds like it is going to be so much fun. I’ve been putting off reading Catching Fire so I could finish it closer to the release of Mockingjay (I’m not good with anticipation and waiting). But it looks like now is the perfect time to get ready and prepare for all the fun that is right around the corner!
