The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Is Here

Re: The Hunger Games: One Week Away

Any last minute predictions before the final book?

~Rednax

Spoiler Alert!

I am completely in the minority with everyone I know that's read these books, but I think Gale and Katniss end up together. No Peeta, No way.

Oh, and they all just fawn over how awesome and fantastic Peeta is, yet, but I just don't see how a forced relationship can be the one. Otherwise, what's the purpose of having Gale in the book in the first place?

I know I don't know and can't wait to find out.

Re: The Hunger Games: One Week Away

Hey, what do you guys think about Hunger Games? Sounds like you all love it; favorite, almost favorite??? I just want to know what you guys think.

By the way I have a scenario my friends made for the book in my map thread.

Obviously she ends up with Gale. The whole romance part of Hunger Games is the same as Twilight. The first introduced is always the one who will prevail.

Any predictions about who will die?

Spoiler Alert!

I'm thinking President Snow, Cinna, and maybe the Avox girl. I also am a little
worried that Peeta might sacrifice himself to save someone else.

A couple more thoughts.

Spoiler Alert!

What role will the Avoxes play in the final book?

What role will District thirteen play?

Will there be a 76th Hinger Games in any way, shape or form?

Remember as you post comments about the book in this thread, to use spoiler tags.

If there's anything that doesn't make sense, post here, and I'll ask it at my school's book discussion club.

Re: The Hunger Games: One Week Away

Prediction-

Spoiler Alert!

I predict her father is alive. I think the mine explosion was a cover, and he's been fighting in the rebellious district.

Also, it's been great to see how many of my students from last year are counting down the days until the release- some of them did not even read for pleasure before we read Hunger Games in class.

Re: The Hunger Games: One Week Away

I like your idea a lot Mossman.

For those who have not picked it up yet, Borders has a 50% off coupon good through the 30th for Mockingjay. You have to be a member of their rewards program to use it, but sign-up is free and only takes an email address at the register, or I think you can sign-up online and you will get a temp card to print out.

Here's the link to the coupon, though I'm not sure if this is a link that will only work for me or not since it's 'attached' to my account.

If it doen't work, my bad, but you can still get it if you sign-up, just do so online and search for the current coupons for members.

I just finished up my 'current' book on Monday, but I'm torn since it was so good I want to read the sequel now, and there's Mockingjay staring me in the face. Argh!

Thanks! Got the coupon, and there was no "limit one book" so I got one for my daughter and one for my classroom.

It doesn't reveal any important info, just the mood.

The title alone kind lets you know it isnt going to be too cheery

 

[rednax]

I need to finish Mockingjay. I'm dying to know why everyone else is saying. Why am I even posting this. I should be reading.

~Rednax, noting this will be the first book he's finished in months
