Soooooo. I obviously LOVE LOVE LOVE the trailer. EPIC stuff. Just like the books. I love the way everything's played out especially all the action. Katniss's costume for the games wasn't too bad either. And did you see Gale and Peeta! Ahh hot hot hot. (NOTE: I am Teem Peeta. Forever and Always :P)YES YES! It was everything I imagined and hoped for... now I'm just dying to watch the movie. Seriously, can it take any longer?

My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be dead. Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding. It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans -- except Katniss. The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay -- no matter what the personal cost.
My Thoughts
WOW. MockingJay was just EPIC! Seriously, it's so amazingly emotional and just as powerful. There are so many parts that I love and just as much hate about MockingJay.This is the kind of book that will devour your mind once you've read the final pages leaving you speechless and craving for more.
In this final installment of MockingJay, it starts with President Snow declaring war on all the districts. This leaves Katniss's district, District 12 demolished. Katniss is then left hopeless so she finds herself becoming the MockingJay in District 13 in order to give the districts hope and help fight the war against President Snow. As war breaks out Katniss has to all she can to protect her friends and family and rescue Petta from the grasps of the Capitol.
Katniss is brought out in ways you wouldn't think possible. She has changed psychologically and emotionally. It's disturbing yet overwhelming in the depths in which she posessed. Though, she survived everything she went through! That's the Katniss we all know. A true heroine. Needless to say, my heart aches even more for Peeta... Everything that he had to go through and endure was heartbreaking. Team Peeta ♥
MockingJay is extremely action packed. Something is always going on. It is definitely a page turner. The ending didn't leave me disappointed nevertheless I'm saddened to everything to come to an end. It left me feel like I'd lost something worth keeping. I truly love this book. Hell, I LOVE this series.
Collins has done an amazing job on The Hunger Games series. She always kept me guessing. I just wish however there was more moments of happiness for the characters that I love so much especially more scenes with Peeta and Katniss. But, I really cannot wait for the movie to come out now, 2012 is a really long way away! Damn! :D

Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won the annual competition described in Hunger Games, but the aftermath leaves these victors with no sense of triumph. Instead, they have become the poster boys for a rebellion that they never planned to lead. That new, unwanted status puts them in the bull's-eye for merciless revenge by The Capitol
My Thoughts
Catching Fire is without doubt an unforgettable ride. It’s even better and bigger than I had hoped it too be. It’s fiery, malevolent and exasperatingly amazing! Collins has sure got a captivating writing style. I was utterly hooked.
Katniss Everdeen. The best heroine ever. I love her! What I love the most is that we get to see a whole new side to her. Her hurt, worry and dismay when she finds out her loved ones are going to have to go to the games.
Everything is in a sort of muddle with her relationship with Peeta and Gale. It doesn’t get much better. From the Hunger Games, I’ve stuck by Peeta. Team Peeta! I am firm on my feet for Katniss to choose Peeta although he was been distant. I don’t blame him though. As for Gale, he has been giving Katniss the cold shoulder after witnessing Peeta’s ‘star crossed’ lovers role. Honestly, who cares? It’s Peeta she needs anyways. Gotta love him!
The cliff-hanger is simply maddening. It’s that immense! But I really love this series. So if you haven’t read this series what are in heavens are you waiting for? Go buy a copy as there sure is a whole lotta EPIC stuff. I just can’t get enough. Mocking Jay, here I come!

Add it: GoodreadsIn the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival.My Thoughts
At first when I heard about The Hunger Games, I didn’t think that it would be a book that I would be interested in. I usually read books that dominantly revolve around romance. However, as I started reading the first few pages in the book, I instantly got absorbed into Katniss's world.
I absolutely love Katniss's character. The love for her sister Prim is beautifully conveyed as she takes her place in The Hunger Games. Katniss is brave, strong and a definite kick ass heroine.
I got really drawn to Gale's personality, his character and well everything about him. His relationship with Katniss is affectionate but not deep really showing how strong their friendship is. I remember really wanting his name to be picked out for the Hunger games so he can support Katniss. Though they're friends, I always thought it would eventually grow into something else and boy was I wrong.
From the time Katniss mentioned Peeta I should have know really (especially with the 'bread incident') that something or the other will happen between them. I was quite dismayed knowing Gale was out the picture but from the time his name was picked for The Hunger Games and as the pages flew by, I came to the conclusion that I love Peeta. He's funny, supportive and always there for Katniss.
I an not a big fan for action as most of their time it is boring but this type of action is nothing but interesting and mind blowing. The ending is very dramatic as Peeta comes to know Katniss's true feeling leaving her back home with her family.
This book is not something you read once or simply pick up from the library, it's a book that has gotta be on your bookshelf! The Hunger Games is written to perfection. Seriously, I don't believe there's any flaws. Immensely powerful and utterly consuming, this is a book that will definitely get you reading!
