Massive 23 Book Giveaway! US/CAN

Hey guys! I have MANY books to give away. Some of them have library stickers on it, but come on... it's a free book. Down below is the list of books I would like to send. Keep in mind: If it comes as a series (Hunger Games and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) you'll get all three. So you can't be like "Just the third". No, if you want the Hunger Games you'll get the following two as well.

There will be FOUR winners. Two on this blog, and two on Live to Read. Please follow GFC if you want another giveaway like this because I'll host more on both blogs very soon.

Push

Author: Sapphire
Title: Push: a Novel

Publication: June 11, 996

Publisher: Knopf

Genre: Adult

Pages: 192

Audience: 17 and up

Rating:  4 out of 5

Source: Library

Synopsis (from the cover): 

Precious Jones, an illiterate sixteen-year-old, has up until now been invisible: invisible to the father who rapes her and the mother who batters her and to the authorities who dismiss her as just one more of Harlem's casualties. But when Precious, pregnant with a second child by her father, meets a determined a highly radical teacher, we follow her on a journey of education and enlightenment ad Precious learns not only how to write about her life, but how to make it her own for the first time.

My thoughts:
 Wow. This book took forever to read. It is not a long book, but the content is hard to read along with the grammar, misspelling, and the graphic nature of the book. I had decided to read this book because the movie came out a couple of years ago, and when I heard it was a book I decided to read it. I'm really glad I put it off. I'm more mature now, and it was still hard to read. However, Precious is a character you can't help but love. I was rooting for her all 192 pages, through the ups and downs. Even though the story is really sad I appreciated the ending and enjoyed cheering on Precious Poet Jones.

Knitty Kitty

Author: David Elliott

Illustrator: Christopher Denise

Title: Knitty Kitty

Publication: September 9, 2008

Publisher: Candlewick

Genre: Children's

Pages: 32

Audience: 2 and up

Rating: 4 out of 5

Source: Public Library

 

Synopsis (from Goodreads):
What could Knitty Kitty be knitting? Something to keep three mischievous kittens toasty and comfy, of course. But after the snow falls and the moon comes up and it's bedtime for kittens everywhere, what will keep them all warm and snug? Knitty Kitty has the answers! With a fun, rhythmic text and delightfully detailed illustrations, the storybook team of David Elliott and Christopher Denise knit together a read-aloud that little ones will cozy right up to.

My thoughts:

I went to the public library one day and just went crazy with the cat related children's book. I'm a self proclaimed cat lady, so I did not feel crazy until I realized how many children's books I had. This book is adorable! It is perfect for the autumn or winter because the kittens end up playing in the snow and building a snowman. It reminded me a lot of the tale about the kittens who lost their mittens. If you know a snow day and want to snuggle up with a cute children's book- this is it.
