Link Salad (6)

Happy Friday, everyone! I’ve rounded up some fantastic giveaways, some bookishly interesting lists, and a couple of movie related items to share. My goal is to entertain you and add something enjoyable to your day. Here we go!

One of my favorite authors, Alma Katsu, has teamed up with fifteen other best-selling authors to bring you The Ides of March Book Giveaway! For every 500 entries, one complete set of the books will be given away, and the contest is open to US/UK and Canada. I am heading over there myself to enter right now.

One of my favorite books of the year so far is Splintered by A. G. Howard, and Anita has just announced the title of Book #2 in the series, Unhinged! I am unbelievably excited by this news! Anita is celebrating by giving away a whole bunch of Splintered/Alice In Wonderland-related items on her blog. There’s even jewelry in this giveaway! Click here to enter now!

Of course, we can’t not mention the Oscars, which were handed out last Sunday. So Seth MacFarlane wasn’t the best host ever, but there were some great moments. Babs sang! Jennifer tripped!

Who isn’t excited about Catching Fire, the second movie in The Hunger Games trilogy? I know I am! This past week two posters were revealed for the upcoming November 22 release. Tor gives us the scoop and shows you the beautiful and intriguing film posters.
