Warning: We're probably going to talk about the whole triology. The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and MockingJay. You have been spoiler-warned.
"The Hunger Games" are probably my favorite book series of all time. I think Katniss is the most fantastic heroine. She kicks so much butt. And she isn't "nice."
So often, female characters even if they're smart or brave or whatever, are boxed into this stereotype of being "nice" or "good" which is a fate less often foisted on the male counterpart. (Soooo many "hero" characters are complete jerks.)
Katniss is strong. She is a hero. But she's exactly as messed up as a real person. And reading her growth through the series was so fulfilling because she wasn't perfect.
"Mockingjay" was the most soul crushing book I've read since HP7. One word: Finnick.
What do you guys think? I desperately want to sew her Mockinjay dress. But I don't know where I get that many feathers.

It was a very good book series. I believe I may have read it TOO fast though, I need to go re-read it (admittedly, I did read two books in two days, that is quite a feat). I think, and feel free to correct me on anything I say from here on out, like I said, I don't remember it, it ended like crap. I didn't like who did die, who didn't die, and just the general ending. But that that seems to be my curse. XD If I hate you, you don't die. If I like you, you die. XD Poor characters....

My only complaint with those pictures is: Peeta should be blonde.

I can't say I've read these yet, but they're immensely popular at the Library where I work!

I got this off of Dacey. Personally, I can't say I'm fond of it. That's just me though. A large part of me is hoping that this turns out a LOT better than it looks.
What do you all think?

That's fanmade. For one the little captions are in Engrish. For two, Bill Murray isn't in The Hunger Games.

xD Especially in that role. Would be kinda weird if Bill Murray was Effie.
