Previews of dystopian fiction coming out in 2011 and 2012.

Contests and book giveaways and more!

Speaking of contests, I have a fun one to start us off! Macmillan US has generously donated a 6 book dystopian YA prize pack of books I've either reviewed during Dystopian February or will review this month. All you have to do to enter to win is read and review at least one dystopian or post-apocalyptic novel during the month of August and then link to your review via Mr. Linky (if you review it on your blog) or via the comments (if you review it on a review site such as GoodReads because you don't have a blog). Challenge and contest is open worldwide, so get reading!

Here are the books you could win (one winner takes all):

Nomansland by Lesley Hauge (Hardcover) (Publisher info)

The Gardener by SA Bodeen (Hardcover) (Publisher info)

Birthmarked by Caragh O'Brien (Hardcover) (My review)

Escape from Furnace: Lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith (Paperback) (My review)

Escape from Furnace: Solitary by Alexander Gordon Smith (ARC) (Publisher info)

Razorland by Ann Aguirre (ARC) (Info on author's website)

Please link your reviews to any dystopian novel you review from August 1, 2010 to August 31, 2010. Please format your link as follows: Book Title (Blog Name). One link per review please. Make sure to link to this post from your review for it to count as an entry to the Prize Pack giveaway. The more dystopian books you read and review this month, the more chances you have to win!
