Trilogy Wrap Ready for Release

Readers of Suzanne Collins Hunger Games series are itching for the conclusion – and will have that satisfying scratch August 24th with the release of Mockingjay, the final book in the well-received trilogy. The series is geared to young adults, but has found readership across the board.

Praise for the Hunger Games series: “Whereas Katniss kills with finesse, Collins writes with raw power.” -Time Magazine “Collins has joined J.K. Rowling and Stephanie Meyer as a writer of children’s books that adults are eager to read.” -Bloomberg.com “Perfect pacing and electrifying world building.” -Booklist, starred review “A humdinger of a cliffhanger will leave readers clamoring for volume three.” -Kirkus reviews, starred review “Forget Edward or Jacob… readers will be picking sides- Peeta or Gale?” -Publishers Weekly, starred review “Leaves enough questions tantalizingly unanswered for readers to be desperate for the next installment.” -School Library Journal, starred review.

The book, in hardcover, carries an $18.99 price tag. Pre-orders received and paid previous to August 24th are priced at $9.95 at McHuston Booksellers.

Obscure but Commonly Requested

Do you have a copy of…. I’m looking for a certain book… Can you look up your books in stock and tell me if you have… By phone and front door, these are regular questions. Surprisingly, a good many of the inquiries are about obscure or scarce titles. Someone Cry for the Children is an example. Another inquiry about it today. It’s been out of print for years. We had three copies before Christmas 2009 and sold them all. It’s not been back in stock since. The Mullendore Murder Trial is another one. It concerns an Oklahoma murder case in northeast Oklahoma’s Osage County. Hard to find, and not cheap. The odd part? When scarce books are in stock, they sell infrequently. Folks just wonder “Do you have it?” and that seems to be reassurance enough.
