I few years ago, I went to Boston with my school. The first night was spent travelling in bus, and I didn't get any sleep (really none at all!!), because I spent the whole night reading!! One of my friends thought I was really weird and started thinking that I might be from another planet lol
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
lol. i've spent the entire night reading a new book that i had just bought. even tho i had tests the next day and school started at eight. omg Catching Fire was amazing!!!!
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Yessss, 20 days!!!!
But I also have to take into account the fact that my mom will have to order it on the Internet, and since I'll be back at school by then, I won't be living with my parents anymore, so I'll have to find a way to get the book from my parents' house to my appartment... So I'll try not to get too excited^^

i just finished it like 5 minutes ago- it's AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i feel soooooo bad for peeta! but then again i am a bit of a gale supporter...but she probably just end up alone cuz i have a feeling that before those guards took him away that he was gunna say "i love you" and he'll be mad at what he saw during the televised portion of the games... poor district 12 guys 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Haha yeah poor them!!!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
oh well for some reason i like gale more
you make your "team peeta" t-shirt and i make my "team gale" t-shirt

Haha!!
"Team Peeta! Because in French, his name sounds like pita bread, while Gale's name means scabies..."

I love that. It's a great picture. I've already read Catching Fire. Just finished it yesterday.

Just tell me a little bit that wouldn't give up the book, please????????
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Hmm.... Let's see. I'll tell you about the quarter quell. For the 75th Hunger Games, (a Quarter Quell) two (one boy and one girl) previous winning tributes have to go into the arena.

So Peeta or Katniss?

Who knows?

You do.

Aaaahhhh, I want a friend whose mother works at Borders, too!!!!

I'll just tell you, it's better than you'd expect it to be. Much better.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
That's called torture!!!!
(talking to self) Ok, relax, you only need to wait 66 more days... 66 tiny, little days... And you'll spend 43 of those days at work, so you won't even notice time passing by, and one day you'll look at the calendar and say ยซ Wow, only 1 day left?! Time went by so fast, I can't even believe it! ยป. Plus, the last few days will be spent packing, then unpacking, and going back to school... You'll see, 66 days isn't that much! When September 1st comes, you'll wonder where those 66 tiny little days went!!
AAAAHHHHH that's a bunch of lies!!! 66 days is a lot, it's practically FOREVER, and time goes by so slowly at work that I sometimes think the clocks must have been set to work backwards, so the boss can keep us at work longer without having to pay for extra hours!!!
66 tiny little days, tiny little days...

Just, whatever you do, don't read spoilers. It'll totally ruin it. You have to read it to get it completely.
A little thing from the book;
"Tick tock."
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I repeat : that's called torture!!! 
I'm already starting to imagine a thousand things the words "tick tock" could have to do with the book.........
I have a small (ok, HUGE) tendancy to read spoilers... I'll try not to do it this time, but I can't guarantee you anything!!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
What are your guesses on "Tick tock"?
And I read a thing, by accidently flipping open the book to the middleish, that seemed like it kinda was a spoiler, but not. It makes you think. And freak out a little. I could tell you if you want.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yes, tell me!! No, don't!! Yes, please do!! No, no!!
*Internal dilemma*
No, don't tell me... I'm trying not to read spoilers anymore, so even if it's not a real spoiler, it'll just make resisting even harder for me...
Tick tock... Maybe a coundown to save someone (herself or someone else), or a bomb, or... Oh, I don't know!!! I really have no clue what's going to happen in Catching Fire...
ยซ Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. ยป
That doesn't give anything away!!! They're not giving us anything to work with... Of course the Capitol is angry, of course the Capitol wants revenge!!! But what kind of revenge, that's the question!!! It's hard to guess without any clues...
65 more days, 65 tiny little days...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm trying to think of things I could tell you without giving anything away..... Hmmmm......
Here are a few things that you'll get when you read the book-
I love Finnick.
I love Mags.
"Tick Tock."
The Quarter Quell. (AHHHH EEEEEKKK)
You find out what Gale was trying to say when they were saying goodbye. It's quite obvious, actually. It's 'I love you.' Duh.
Katniss is ' pregnant '. xD
The last one I find insanely hilarious. Any thoughts on what I said?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Finnick & Mags -> New characters??
Tick tock -> ...
The Quarter Quell -> No idea. Guess I'll have to wait till September to be able to say "AHHHH EEEEEKKK" myself
Gale saying "I love you" -> Like you said, duh
"Pregnant" -> WHAT?!? 
Do you know anyone who has a time machine I could borrow to make September 1st come faster?!?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Here's something that totally won't ruin it for youโ
The Quarter Quell happens every twenty-five years. I can't remember what happened at the 25th one, but at the 50th one, they had double the amount of tributes from each district. (Could you believe that that was the year that Haymitch won?)
The 75th Quarter Quell....... D: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. I'll tell you this- the announcement of that years Quarter Quell makes Katniss freak out, and then get drunk with Haymitch.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oooohhhhh... A thousand possibilities have started dancing around in my head...
More tributes again (but that probably wouldn't be original again)...
All the winners from previous years having to fight each other...
All the winners having to fight with their families...
...
Ok, maybe not a thousand possibilities, maybe just a few ones, but still...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
..... One of those guesses was right.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
AAAAAAHHHHHH DON'T TELL ME!!!!!!
Since you seem to enjoy torturing me so much, I've thought of a little something to torture you, too : The 3rd book probably won't come out until September 2010, and since you've already read the 2nd book, you have to wait even longer than the rest of us between the 2nd and 3rd books!! HAH!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I know. I was just thinking about it. And I nearly died. Ugh. Too Long to wait. And I have to wait until Sept. 2010 for the first book of the Infernal Devices trilogy to come out. Ugh. I guess I'll just reread The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, The Mortal Instruments Trilogy, Harry Potter, and the Uglies series. If I read through all of those about 10 times each, it should be next June.....
I need to know the name of the next book. Ugh. Why can't she tell us?!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Hmmm... I know The Hunger Games (obviously), Catching Fire (pretty obviously, too) and Harry Potter (who on Earth hasn't heard of Harry Potter?!?
I wonder what the name of the third book will be, too... Maybe she hasn't revealed it because she doesn't know it herself yet
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You've never heard of the others? -le gasp-!
Uglies series- Uglies, Pretties, Specials, (Extras). The last one is part of it, but not with the same main characters and everything. It's by Scott Westerfeld. How can you not have read it before?
Mortal Instruments- City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass. That trilogy plus the two Hunger Games make up my top 5 favorite books. They're hilarious and have an epic plot. By Cassandra Clare. You MUST read these if you haven't.
Infernal Devices- Cassandra Clare's next trilogy.
Maybe she doesn't know it herself. But I know I will pee my pants when she releases the title of it.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'll pee my pants, cry, scream, laugh, faint and die of excitement. And then I'll bite my nails for the next I-don't-know-how-many months waiting for the last book to come out^^ IF I still have some nails left by then, considering I've already been biting them for the last I-don't-know-how-many months, ever since I read the first book
I did some research on the Uglies and Mortal Instruments, and I agree, they seem pretty good...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You should read them, they're quite fabulous. They'll give you about seven books of new material. Mortal Instruments are all about 450 pages, give or take a couple. Uglies is around 350-400 each (depending on hardcover or paperback). Uglies is a lot like The Hunger Games. A lot of the first book is similar. Just not really with all the killing. (Maybe a teeny bit in Specials, the third one.)
I've actually been able to get my parents into The Hunger Games. Actually, my mom is the one who gave me the book in the first place. My dad is rereading THG before he reads my ARC of Catching Fire, and he keeps on 'seeing' all these foreshadowing things. It's freaking insane. I have no idea how people see those things coming. Almost everything in Catching Fire came as a complete shock to me. You'll have to tell me if you guessed anything beforehand and if it was right when you read the book. Any guesses currently?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
First of all, sorry for the (very) late reply^^
It's funny, because my mom gave me a book a few days ago, and there was an add about The Uglies inside
My dad doesn't read, but my mom does, and I convinced her to read The Hunger Games a few months ago. She liked it, but I don't think she really loved it.
And no, I don't have any more guesses!! I'm kinda trying not to think about it too much, actually!!
