Catching Fire
The sequel to the amazing book "The Hunger Games" if you haven't read the first, don't read any further because there are going to be spoilers!! This book is awesome.

Re: Catching Fire
Oh my gosh, the whole idea of Mags was so sad ... such an old woman who had a stroke taking place of Annie ... it was so sad, and I was like, freaking out cause I imagined her trying to stay afloat in the water ..
I kept imagining Katniss's quote while she's considering adding Beetee and Wiress to the team to calm myself cause I keep laughing; went something like:
Peeta: "Johanna nicknamed them Nuts and Volts. I think she's Nut's and he's Volts."
Katniss: "And I'm so stupid for thinking they might be useful. Because of something Johanna Mason said while she was oiling up her breasts for wrestling."

Re: Catching Fire
I know poor Mags... What type of name is Mags though?! Seriously >.> lol
Johanna was a ***** D:<
When Cinna turned Katniss into the Mockingjay, I was laughing so much! I know it was supposed to be dramatic, but, come on... and when Peeta said Katniss was pregnant, LOL! OH!! What do you think happened to Cinna?! Did he die?! Is he an Avox?! DO you think they turned him into a mutt? ._.

Re: Catching Fire
LOOL my friend's smelly dog is called Mags xDD
HAHA!! She was soooo funny though. She took off her tree and stood casually in the elevator with only a pair of green slippers on xDDD
I know! I thought the bird thing was cool, but kinda silly with the feathers xD I was like what*****? And then I was trying to remember any sex scenes xDDD I reckon an Avox, because I'll bet you anything Katniss will be in the games again. They can't turn him into a mutt, because a mutt is like a clone! It's just merged DNA from different things/people, not exactly them ._.

Re: Catching Fire
Yeah but she did that just to make Katniss uncomfortable. caterpillar, that reminds me of something: "Why are they wearing flame belts? What are they doing broiling themselves?!" Oh Katniss, how can you be so funny in such a serious situation?
I know me too! xDD Well if she does participate in the games again (which I doubt) then wouldn't it be cool if a mutt Cinna attacked her?! o.O

Re: Catching Fire
I know, but it was still hilarious. She's so awesome. Like, the most awesome novel character ever.
*snort* Well, the whole thing these books are about is the Hunger Games. So, it's obvious. No, that would not be cool ._____________.
How freaky was it hearing Peeta's face sagged? 0.o

Re: Catching Fire
Katniss pwns all. I can't believe I said that Lol >.>
I don't know, I think book 3 will be more like a war between the Capitol and everyone else. Yes it would, creepy, but cool.
LOL That was funny! I kept picturing this!
I don't like Peeta, I wouldn't care that much if he died. Team Gale!!

Re: Catching Fire
That's what everyone on the forum thought Catching Fire was going to be. But don't you think it's a coincedence that in the next and last book Kat will be 18? Last chance to be in the Hunger Games?
what episode is that off??
No, I like Peeta now. I don't understand why Toph though Gale was so selfish, when he was helping both Kat and Peeta to survive.
What do you like best about these books? I'd have to say I love the suspense and how everything about the Capitol makes you angry and how real it is when Kat gets hurt, cause you know she could die. And how she explores the forest with Gale ... I used to do that up near our farm with my friend, and he is described like Gale too, lol. Tall with dark hair. So I can't help loving Gale or loving the book ... cause I feel I can relate =]

As much as I loved this book, why do you need a seperate topic about? You should really just carry all conversation to the actual topic.

Re: Catching Fire
Ok, so Tuesday "night" I crawl in to bed at about 6pm on page 1, at 1:50am, I'm found on page 398-ish rereading those last words from Gale thinking "NO ladybug **** OF A WAY IN HELL! AND YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENS?!?!?" at this time my mom walked in to my room to tell me to go to sleep. It freaking blew my mind, though if any one off topic quote stood out in my mind it was about getting the goat knocked up lol, and Peeta's interview left me confused for a few lines too lol (Btw, I'm still a Gale fan, only because I relate to him much better than I do the baker's kid ;P ) and I do see why Rima called Gale selfish, go back to the chapter where Kat tells him about the rebellion in district 8, anyways, awesome book, kind of disappointing that I got sucked in so far that I read it in one night but, nothing I'm still losing sleep over lol

Re: Catching Fire
If anything that's not selfish because Gale wanted for fight for everyone! Not just himself. Peeta was fine with running away >_>
How creepy was that fog though? Making you melt ... remind you of something Lucy fans? that's probably why I was freaking so much when reading. "NO, DON'T MELT! NO, NO, NO, NO ..." etc etc. But I was meaning Katniss, cause Peeta .. .0.o just killed the melt-look.

(this post is gonna feel so short after my last two lol) *shrug* Peeta, Gale, you know the only time Kat notices her feelings for Peeta is when she's got no one else around she really cares for....
pretty creepy, though I loved that tree with the lightning xD

Yeah, I love Gale though. And what he survived. Thread sounds like a pig. I thought it was funny how Katniss jumped six metres over the fence and landed on her butt (but broke her foot)
Gosh, that was so creepy. It reminded me of my cardboard box dream ._.

Thread isn't a pig, he's just power happy ^.^ and it must have really pissed him off to find that the fence was on and she still got back inside xD though I still wonder what happened to Cray...

Cray must've been killed. I don't get why Kat did that thing with the dummy. I mean whatshisfaceexGamesMakerHead Crane was killed for not killing her, but why did she do that?
Lol, full story is in the Dreams topic. You can't miss it.

No, I think it is because the death of that game-maker was not supposed to be openly known. The fact that she, as a victor from D-12, had knowledge of it may have caused some stirring to the other important capitol game people. I guess that the smell of rebellion in the air was stronger that they may have been led to or wanted to believe.
OMDG!!! I am so wanting to discuss this book and my daughter wants to do Hunger Games first. (And I do understand she needs to read that one first, but...) She picks up so many things I miss!

Re: Catching Fire
I am not joking. Collins has produced the last two book within a time span of a year or more or less. However, don't take my word. Go check it out on the Scholastic site.
It's going to be called The Victors, right? Or is that just a rumor?

I just read this book. I liked it. I still do not like Peeta, because I'm ornery. I am interested in hearing more about District Thirteen. It was a fairly sad book.. :/

Well, it wasn't that bad of a cliffhanger. I've read worse. It ended with Gale telling Katniss that District 12 had been destroyed. We don't know where they're going or what happened to Peeta (I really don't care though. I don't like Peeta.).

That's not exactly a cliffhanger though ...
A cliffhanger would be something like Katniss saw her father alive or something.

As soon as I read your post, I started browsing the internet to see if there was a Chapter Preview by any lucky chance. Needless to say, NO LUCK!
I did however, come across to a very interesting analysis of the all the covers of the series. Very interesting and hopeful, even though I have a feeling Peeta is going to die.
