Hunger Games (and the sequel, Catching Fire) are books by Suzanne Collins. Last fall, I found where Stephenie Meyer recommended them on her site and thought, 'why not?' So I got them, read them and OMG they are FABULOUS!

So I started a thread here afterwards seeing if anyone had read them, found a few people, then a few other people read them, and by now at whole LOT of people have become addicted and it's basically turned into a ongoing thread here discussing them now. Look for it...it's here in the OT section.

Hey, my birthday is June 6th! Yea Gemini's!

So, I am a newbie when it comes to this series. I have seen the movies Twilight and New Moon. Can anyone tell me from start to finish what books I need to buy? I want to read them all!

Thank you in advance!

Let me just say that if you have only seen the movies and liked them, then you are going to LOVE the books!

There are 4 in the series currently--Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, in that order. Then, there is also a partial draft called 'Midnight Sun' posted on Meyer's (author) site--it's the first book (Twilight) written through Edward's POV rather than Bella's. I didn't understand the point of reading the same story over, but it really is like a completely different story altogether. You get to see the 'other side' of what was going on. When you read that is up to you, although I would personally recommend you read it right after you read Twilight. IMO, it gives you a better understanding of the Cullen family so 'understand' them more through the rest of the books.

Then, the new book being release in June is called The Short Second Life of Bree Turner. Like I said, a 'spinoff' type that is the story of one of the very minor characters you read about in Eclipse--sort of a story of what was going on behind the scenes.

Thank you so much! I am so excited! I will be off to the book store first thing Monday morning.
