The Hunger Games Movie Giveaway at Film Book

Hey there friends. I saw The Hunger Games film not too long ago and even though I hear that the book is superior to the film, I enjoyed the movie quite a bit. It may be the fact that I love competition and a competition to the death is right up my alley. When I get a chance, I plan on reading the books. Because I'm a Kindle Fire owner, I have access to the borrowing library at the Amazon book store. It's great, I can borrow a book a month. I grabbed The Hunger Games and my 11 year old daughter blazed right throught it! She's already finished Catching Fire and is now reading Mocking Jay. I guess these books are the real deal! Anyways, our good friends at Film Book are offering The Hunger Games on Blu Ray. The giveaway will run from now until Oct. 21st. 3 winners will be selected to receive their own copy of the The Hunger Games on Blu Ray shortly after that!

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Game Giveaway

Who's ready for another giveaway? I've been on a recent Legend of Zelda binge. I got all nostalgic and watched a few video of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (my all time favorite Zelda game) and started going down some top 10 best "whatever" Zelda stuffs. Then I got to playing Zelda music on the flute and guitar. Yeah, I play flute. Classical status and all. So what?! lol Anyways, I told myself that I would get around to playing Twilight Princess before getting to Skyward Sword. So I decided that for those of you that need to catch up, like myself.

Not All of Them About Zombies: A Book Review

Hey there. I need to read more. I haven't read a good book since my last attempt to read literary classics. I bought 2 books that I have read and love, Siddhartha and Cather in the Rye, and that was about it. Now that there's a Kindle Fire in the house, I'm going to try this reading business again. I think it's great that you can borrow books to read if you're an Amazon Prime member and I'm hoping to get some reading done using the service. The first book up for review? Not All of Them About Zombies by Matthew Rowe.

Not All of Them About Zombies is a collection of short stories. The short stories range from humorous to horror. At 196 pages, it is a pretty short book that can be finished in a single sit through. Even though the stories are short, they are thought provoking and the absolute best part of the book is the introduction. It gives a glimpse of Matthew Rowe's train of thought of how the story came to be. It gives you that insight that makes you want to read the stories to see how they panned out. I found that after reading the short introduction, I wanted to skip ahead to check out the story. What twist did he add? How was his interpretation of a thought was a conveyed? What spin on a classic tale did he use? The only problem that I had with the introduction is that all of the stories introductions were grouped together. It would have been better if the intro were to be placed right before the story. This would avoid having to go back and re-read the intro before reading the short story, like I did for each one.

Earn Amazon Gift Cards with Swagbucks

Hey there. I recently became a member of a new site in hopes of earning a few bucks to spend on Amazon.com. I've been rewarded with a few Amazon gift cards and I love the fact that you can enter the gift cards at Amazon and it will keep a running balance of the gift cards that you redeem. Once you're ready to check out, it automatically deducts what you have available BEFORE asking for alternate form of payment. How awesome is that?!?! Anyways, Swagbucks has been the answer that I looking for. Earn swagbucks for searching the web, answering surveys, participating in daily polls, participating in Twitter Tuesday, etc. etc. You redeem your swagbucks at their store for some pretty awesome stuff. I'm not going to lie, I'm in it solely to redeem Amazon gift cards! So.. why the need to let you know? Because I recently was accepted into their blogging program so I can now let you know about their upcoming events! If you haven't joined yet, you definitely should check it out. Here's what's in store for next week!
