The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I know. But that's who I picture.

I have a pic in my mind and he is not any known actor

Can August 24 come sooner?

it seems like no

So now I'm confused... I thought the 3rd book was going to be called The Victors, but there isn't a title on any bookstore websites...?
Is The Victors not the actual title?

I have no idea . Kim knows the title

haha, I actually don't know it. I'd heard The Victors was the title too...but I'd also heard it wasn't confirmed yet, so it might still be changed. Until a few months before Catching Fire came out it was apparently titled "Quarter Quell" so anything could happen at the moment.

I think Catching Fire was the better title... lol I hope we find out more about HG3 soon.

Yeah, I agree, Catching Fire was definitely a better title. It's a stronger title.

There's some HG games at the book's UK website. I've failed them both. I am NOT ready for the HG. And I would NOT survive them either.

So, on another forum I'm part of someone posted the cover of the third book and it's title...it's apparently not 'The Victors' but 'Mockingjay'. They didn't post a link, so I'm going to ask them for one to see if it's the real deal or not. When you google it a few places have the update, but it seems to have only happened today AND scholastic doesn't have it on their website...so I'm not sure what the deal is at the moment.

Well... real title or not, I think it's awesome!! Much better than The Victors anyway.

Edit: Is this the cover you saw?

Looks legit to me.

Yep, that's the one I saw. The on our minds link is also the one my informit gave to me, so at least we're both seeing the same thing.

I lol-ed so hard at this:

Obviously, I had to know more. So I asked the one and only David Levithan (VP Editorial Director, Scholastic) if he could share some top-secret things with me. The answer?

I am not, under any circumstances, allowed to divulge the contents of the third Hunger Games book. Nada. Nothing. Not a peep. I can, however, share with you five things that will not be appearing in the new book:


* Panem is not shaken up when District 9 is nominated for a best picture Oscar.
* At no point does President Snow utter the line, “This is Snowmageddon, baby.”
* Despite internet rumors to the contrary, it is not revealed that Cinna has been secretly designing outfits for a Capitol operative known as “Lady GaGa.”
* All rumors of a crossover appearance by Geronimo Stilton are false.
* In a tough editorial call, we decided not to have Katniss win the Hunger Games…only to be interrupted by Kanye West.

LOL I know!! I like the part about Cinna and Lady GaGa.

They really did not disappoint with this cover. It is seriously the best cover I've ever seen. I love it. ♥

Do you guys have the UK covers in Australia? I wonder how the UK cover for Mockingjay will look?

I quite liked the Kanye West one
Yeah, we have the UK covers, so I've got no idea if we'll get US or UK ones.

160 days 19 hours 16 minutes 00 seconds until Mockingjay!!

So I've been rereading HG and I noticed something.

SPOILER!!

The first time Katniss really sorta interacts with Rue is during the training session. Katniss and Peeta are throwing spears and Peeta notices Rue following them around from station to station. I thought it was interesting (a little like foreshadowing)... I got a bit teary.

Oh and btw... 73 days until Mockingjay!!

Ok, so I know I'm like the only one posting in here now. But seriously. Mockingjay releases DAY AFTER TOMORROW!!!!

Someone else out there has gotta be as excited about this as I am. lol

Lol, Ash. Yeah, I'm pretty excited! Will probably buy it on the weekend

OMG. One. Day. Left. *fangirly squeal*

lol Yeah, I'm super excited.

24 hours left to go!!! But then plus 10 hours because the bookstore doesn't open until 10. And then add another 4 or 5 hours because I won't get out of school until 2... ish. *agony*

I've read it. *dies*

I'm getting my copy tomorrow (hopefully). I'm trying my hardest not to read/see/find any spoilers. So far so good.

I had to restrain myself from the internet for like a week. Pretty easy actually since for the past few days I've been at school from 8 am to 3 pm. lol

I'm still trying to absorb what I've read. I feel a little empty actually. It wasn't my favorite in the series, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. Mostly it was just very sad. Very dark. A LOT of deaths, a few of which really killed me. I almost had to stop. There were only two things I actually got right while reading. The rest was unexpected. Basically, you won't know until it hits you. And you will cry.
