Well well well, glad you decided to join in for our first ever book club read! And with a book like this, it won't be boring! So. Have you started yet?

Just one rule please, if you're going to post a spoiler, please be very clear about it and tell us what page you're on so we'll know to read/skip it ;D


Shannon (iandssmom) | 1 comments I read this one awhile ago might have to refresh but they were all so good another read or listen couldn't hurt!! :)


Anagha Uppal | 511 comments Mod
I know right? I don't let myself read Mockingjay - I don't want it to end and I definitely don't want any "disappointment" as everyone keeps saying. But the first two...could read them over and over!


Becca (BeccaHandley) | 62 comments Love this trilogy so much....can't wait for the movie. Looks like it might do it justice. Can't wait to discuss :D

Almost hate to say it but --- the first two stand so well that you are actually smart. Definitely a tough trilogy to end....wasnt a huge fan of the third....


Berenice (ccb014) | 1 comments I'll try to join, but I have other books to read and review for this month


Avid Reader Amy's Reviews (avidreadamysreviews) I read it over Christmas and loved it.

Veronica Morfi (vmorfi) | 464 comments Ana you have to read the last one! Even if it has a dissapointing ending, do you want to know what will happen???

Everyone's looking forward! I think the movie will not disappoint us. So far, the trailers did some justice.. fingers crossed.

I've heard a lot of good things about this book so I'll definitely be reading it at some point, but I'm a bit busy at the moment so I'm not sure if I'll be able to read it this month!!!

But I'll try!!!

I do wan to know the ending! I think after all the excitement from our reading this together, I won't be able to stop myself! But I want to wait until a week before the movie comes out

Hope you can make it! I know how busy Jan can be. School's starting tomorrow so I won't be around as much unfortunately :(


Becca (BeccaHandley) | 62 comments Gina wrote: Oh no! Not even..."

Even if you don't have an ereader....you could use the free apps for iBooks or kindle and download the ebook. It's available and less than $5.00. At least it was this morning when I was on both sites......maybe that's an option for ya...

Dale Ibitz (goodreadscomdale_ibitz) I can't wait for the movie. I saw a preview today, and the movie looks pretty true to the book. As for Mockingjay, I wasn't a fan of the slooooowwwww start, but I will say I was *not* disappointed in the end. I'm not one to pick apart a book too much and will take it at face value...some people analyze and read a lot of meanings into an author's writing...but I read for entertainment. I thought it ended fairly well. I think you *have* to read it in order to form your own opinion!!!

I am totally in awe of the movie trailer...but the book...I'll see. Hundreds bookivores can't lie and my feelings for Katniss go deep. I do not on any account want to ruin it with her (and Gale and Peeta)

That's fine! We just hope you get to join in!:)


Rachel Yuska (vanness77) | 7 comments Ok, I'll join. I haven't read hunger games. A month sounds good to me so let's get it on!


Cereja Cult (lokigirl) | 199 comments I've read the 1º and the 2º book already and even though I've seen some not so good critique about the 3º book, I'll not let this get me scared. Being the last book it has all the extra pressure and I don't want to put any more pressure on it. I'll only ask for a conclusion and let everything else fall into places. But I can say I'll miss Kat, Peeta ,, ohhh,,,


Reggie Alexander | 2 comments I am on page 75 so far and am enjoying it very much. I don't think the writing itself is the cleanest but the story draws you in very quickly. I love post apoc stories and this is an interesting new twist, can't wait to see what happens in the games itself. Also, this is the first time participating in an online book discussion, should be interesting to see how it goes.

The part that took place during the games was the best for me! :)

I can't wait till you get to the Games part! yeah, dystopian turned into my favorite genre after I read this!


Marina (marina_roumpi) | 10 comments Hi everyone, I'm not up to reading the hunger games but will sure follow any future Read Along!


Heidi (heidirainydayramblings) Ok I am finally joining in. Hoping to start today after I write a review!

I'm exactly the same! Didn't even know about the world of book reviewing then. And haven't read Mockingjay lol


Heidi (heidirainydayramblings) It is amazing how much better you get reviewing as you practice right?

OH MAN, I started but I'm afraid,,I don't want it to end,,, :(


Becca (BeccaHandley) | 62 comments Wait...there's hope for us...on the review front....lol.

As for the books...the tension point for each of the books is so different. Individual survival is certainly a plot driver for HG....and it is a grabbing one!

You start to get faster too. It used to take me hours to come up with an acceptable review!
