The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mocking Jay

Today is Sunday, May 26, 2012

Good Sunday Morning Everyone!                                  

DESURFSUP just finished reading "The Hunger Games" series and let me tell you...we thoroughly enjoyed each and every book in the series!  If you have not read them yet, you better get busy because we would hate for you to miss out on these great books.  They are really exciting and suspenseful and now we can't wait to go see the movie.  The only problem is once you pick them up and start reading you will have a very hard time putting them down to do anything else...
Today's posting asks you the following questions:
Did you read any of the Hunger Games books and if so which one/ones?  
Which book did you like the best of all?
Imagine being either "Katniss" or "Peta" and explain how you would feel if you were to embark upon the journey of "The Hunger Games"!

Before you leave your comments below, watch the official trailer for "THE HUNGER GAMES"
