Queen of Katwe hits theaters this week – Enter a fun Queen of Katwe giveaway

I've heard nothing but incredible things about the upcoming movies, Queen of Katwe. I knew it was going to be an incredible film, the moment I saw that Lupita Nyong’o was one of the actresses in the movie. I mean, come on, she even rocked her part in The Jungle Book. Don't think that she just plays the part of a beautiful soul – she is just as lovely in person.

Queen of Katwe is going to be incredible for so many other reasons – like the fact that it's a true story and it was an awesome book. It's going to be a #1 movie for so many reasons. Let's just say that I've heard a box of tissues is a MUST for the theaters (happy tears). The Hopping Bloggers decided that this film was worthy of a giveaways event, so check it out below and good luck to all of my readers!

To help celebrate the release of Queen of Katwe, a group of bloggers have gotten together to bring you an awesome Queen of Katwe Giveaway. One lucky winner will get a copy of the Queen of Katwe book and a Wooden Chess Set.
