Welcome to my stop on the Books to Movies Giveaway Hop hosted by Mary at Book Hounds and Kathy at I Am A Reader, Not A Writer.
This hop features books that have been made into movies, television series, etc. I recently went to the movies (which I never do) on a book to movie adaptation's release day (I do this even more rarely), and I was very pleased. I loved the book (read my review here), I enjoyed the movie tremendously, and I would like to share it with you.
What You Can Win
Title: The Martian
Author: Andy Weir
Publisher: Crown Publishing (Penguin Random House)
Release Date: February 11, 2014
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.
Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.
After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.
Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.
But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
Giveaway
I loved this book in two different formats, so you can choose between winning an ebook, audiobook, or physical copy of The Martian by Andy Weir. If you've already read the book and have the patience of the saint, you can also choose the option of me pre-ordering a copy of the DVD of the movie adaptation for you.

Great giveaway! I've only seen comments and a few clips about the Martian, but it looks like one to watch & read - especially for a big fan of Ray Bradbury's books.
