Not immediately after, but close enough. And it catches you up on what's happened in between. A couple months pass between the two...

OH.MY.GOD. reading Catching Fire- and I did NOT see this HUGE event happening- man- i so so so did not see this coming- I am BESIDE myself right now- I feel like i need to just open the back of the book and make sure all ends well- BUT i won't... but just one more time- OHMY GOD!

I know, right!?

I remember reading that one, specific line and being totally blindsided. I was actually sitting in the living room and said out loud "Oh ****" and my husband looked at me like I was nuts.

BTW, am about to start the last book in the "Uglies" series that Robin suggested. SO GOOD! I second the recommendation.

Don't feel bad. I got so mad half way through Breaking Dawn that I cried, refused to read it the rest of the night, pulled a "Joey" and put it in the freezer.

The 3rd one is due out in Aug. I heard it was going to be titled "The Victors." I've also heard it's going to be called "Mockingjay." So I guess we'll see.

I'm almost finished Catching Fire. OMG!!! WHAT? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Not fair!

I'll probably finish it tonight. Last night I didn't make dinner; didn't eat; taped Idol so I didn't have to "waste time" watching it and read until I couldn't hold the baby blues open any longer. But I AM NOT HAPPY! Love Peeta though.

I just recently read the Hunger Games and loved it. I am going to pick up Catching Fire but am a little weary of reading it. I hope it has a good ending.

Rest assured, it has an ending.

Happy to see so many getting sucked into this story. Glad I'm not the only one!

Sookie · 03-06-2010, 05:32 AM

Finished it but now I really need #3. Great series.

MaddiesMommie · 03-06-2010, 05:41 PM

I have been looking for a good book. I had a few going when this thread started so I didn't get it. However, I have just ordered all three books!

However, the third, Mockingjay will not be shipped until it is released August 24th.

I can't wait to get them!! I haven't read the entire thread b/c I was afraid there would be spoilers. Thanks Bama for the recommendation.
