When I finished Hunger Games last month I immediately went out and bought Catching Fire. I waited a little while before reading it because I hate reading all the published books in a series and then waiting for the next one (note to self: only read series in which all books are already published). But once I started it, I finished it within 24 hours. And now, of course, I am anxiously awaiting the third book. To anyone who hasn’t started this series yet: It is amazing and you should read it immediately.
I started writing this review and then realized that I have nothing to say except that I LOVED Catching Fire. Even more than Hunger Games. It had a fantastic twist in the middle, ends in quite the cliffhanger, and characters develop in ways you wouldn’t expect. This book begins with a very fatalistic air but ends with hope. I can’t wait to see where the story goes next.
I am still undecided regarding the Team Peeta/Team Gale debate. Unlike Twilight (Team Jacob!) I like both of them and I think Katniss could be happy with either. If I had to pick, I think I lean toward Peeta but since the love story isn’t the main focus of the novels, it really doesn’t matter to me who she ends up with.
my books. my life. 
Can´t seem to escape this series, it´s everywhere on book blogs 😀 It sounds really interesting though, and I love dystopian fiction. Hopefully I can get the library to qcuire them. When does the 3rd book come out?

I loved Catching Fire as well! I’m always sad when I know I have to wait for the next book. I can’t imagine living in a time when chapters were published serially.
I have to admit I’m team Peeta.

I know. I would hate to have to wait every week. But then I guess it’s just like television, right?

I finished The Hunger Games last night and I loved it so much! I read it in two days and couldn’t put it down, it’s such a tense read too I was practically nawing on my fingernails in suspense. I put Catching Fire on reserve at the library and I can’t wait to read it! The Hunger Games is definitely one of my favourite books of the year.

On a different note, I see that you have finished reading ‘Pride and Prejudice’ finally 🙂
Congratulations! Looking forward to reading your thoughts about it.
