Catching Fire Sneak Peek
If you've read The Hunger Games, I just know that you CAN'T
WAIT for the sequel Catching Fire. (If you haven't read it yet, you totally
have to!!! It is by far the BEST BOOK EVER for kids ages 12 and over. Go. Read. Now.)
Well, like I was saying, the wait is almost over for Catching Fire. It will be in bookstores on September 1, so cancel all your other plans, clear out your schedule and just block out all day for reading because once you start, you are not going to want to stop reading for anything! I would suggest asking people to bring you food so you don't starve to death — seriously, you will not be able to put this book down!
So, do you want a sneak peek now? We have Chapter 1 for you to read, and an audio excerpt of Chapter 2 read by the author Suzanne Collins. For more about The Hunger Games trilogy including downloads and a message board where you can talk to other fans of the book, visit The Hunger Games Web site.
Enjoy!

You are so right, the Hunger games is the best book ever! I couldn't put it down and if you ask anyone I know, they will say I'm completely obsessed with the book.... (sience I've read it too many times to count....) I've been trying to get my hands on an ARC of catching fire for months!! But with no luck.... so I'll be reading it along with you guys on Sept 1st (unless you were lucky enough to get an ARC) Thanks for the info!
-Hunger Games Forever!!-

I couldn't put hunger games down, I would stay up all night reading it. I just finished it, my heart still racing even after I read the last few words. I slow depression overflowed my body as i realized i did not have the second book at hand! I must buy it as soon as possible.

The Hunger Games was such a page turner and so was Catching Fire!! I just feel like i'm gonna explode when i think about waitin 4 MockingJay. Suazanne Collins is an AMAZING author. I also read her Underland Chronicles
