    Hunger Games and Presale PARTAY!

    ~SQUEEL~
    You may all call me nerdy now, but I personally think we all have our obsessions with things we like. For me it comes in the form of dystopian novels, like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Yeah it might be a tad ironic that they turned a book about violence in entertainment into a movie, but what can I say, I think it has a good message and storyline. It most definitely does not promote violence, but rather shows how evil violence is!
    Whoops, sorry a bit of a tangent there. What I really want to tell you right now, is that Blockbuster is having a PreSale and Release PARTAY for the BluRay DVD!
    Fans of The Hunger Games, you need to head out to your local Blockbuster ASAP and pre-order your copy before the end of day on August 15th (this coming Wednesday!).  When you do, you will receive a free exclusive Hunger Games poster AND be invited to the release party August 17th from 9pm-midnight. 
    What are you waiting for? Find your local blockbuster here http://www.blockbuster.com/releaseparties
    “May the odds ever be in your favor”
    (and I will gladly volunteer to take your place, if you want to fly me to your blockbuster, since there’s none near me)

    Suffocate
    by SR Johannes
    Just released today is the new YA Novelette by SR Johannes. A combination of Dystopic and Science Fiction in 15000 words.
    I’ve never been much of a Science Fiction fan, but when you throw in the dystopic genre, I get interested.
    For those wondering, other books included in the dystopic genre are The Giver
    by Lois Lowry, and The Hunger Games
    by Suzanne Collins. Two of my favorite all time reads!
    Here’s a little about Suffocate:
    For centuries, the world outside the Biome has been unlivable. Today, marks the first time anyone will attempt to leave the suffocating ecosphere. Eria is not worried because her scientist father has successfully tested the new Bio-Suit many times. It’s a celebratory day until something goes horribly wrong. In the midst of tragedy, Eria uncovers a deep conspiracy that affects the very air she breathes. If those responsible find out what she knows, they won’t stop hunting her until she takes her last breath.
    Suffocate is the first in a trilogy. The 2nd book Choke is set to be released in the Fall of 2012, while the 3rd, Exhale will be released in the Winter of 2013
    You can purchase Suffocate from amazon
    or Barnes and Noble.
