27 days and counting...

Portland, Oregon's Powell's Books is hosting a midnight release party for Mockingjay, the third and final book in Suzanne Collins's bestselling "Hunger Games" trilogy. The shindig will start at 9:00 p.m. and include a costume contest, trivia battle, and giveaways. Sadly, this is a Monday night event (August 23rd), so attendance might be limited to people who don't have to get up early on Tuesday (read: shrieking teenagers).
