In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love. |
Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object--artfully encoded with five symbols--is discovered in the Capitol Building. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation... one meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom.
When Langdon's beloved mentor, Peter Solomon--a prominent Mason and philanthropist--is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations--all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth.

Thanks for the great giveaway!
You're welcome! They are all great reads and I can't wait to share them! :)
Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity! I loved the Hunger Games, and liked The Lost Symbol (I didn't think it was in the same league as The DaVinci Code, but it was still good!) I haven't read any Boyd Morrison and The Ark sounds great!
@ Susanna See, I keep hearing that. I will have to read The DaVinci Code. I saw the movie but movies usually aren't as great as the books they are made from.
Great list of books! I haven't read The Lost Symbol yet. I hope it's as good as the others.
Thanks for the great choices!
I'm a fellow blog hop participant! thanks so much for doing this :)
If this is international, please count my entry in!:)
