Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

I read Mockingjay in one day. I couldn't put it down.

SPOILER ALERT

I was so team Gale. I mean all those years together, the loyalty, the friendship, the hunting and talking, it just seemed to me that she'd end up with Gale. But that's just me. People obviously need a spark to stay together but . . . I wanted Gale to be the winner. And, I felt that he ended up such a loser. Heartless, or at least cold, creating bombs meant to take out caregivers...and Prim, ahhhhhhh.

Of course, I'd figured out (like everyone else) that Coin was the bad one...or two. I mean sure President Snow and The Capitol were bad but not any worse than Coin.

I really loved the ending, though. It wasn't all perfect and rosy...like Hollywood usually makes it but there was enough to make me feel some hope for the future of Panem.

How 'bout you? What did you think of the trilogy? Now, I just can't wait for the movies. It's going to be a girls' day out...for sure.

Catching Fire

I've started the trilogy and can't seem to put those books down. I loved The Hunger Games even though I never expected myself to really like it. I just never read apocalyptic stories. But, this was a great story. And then Catching Fire was good but definitely a sequel. I hated the ending. The only redeeming fact was that Mockingjay was already out and I could buy it in a heartbeat on my Kindle.

And, one thing I miss with the Kindle: covers.

Book covers. I love looking at them. The beautiful art, the colors. My Kindle is black and white. So, like I said, I do miss the book covers.

Anyway, I've nearly completed Mockingjay - in about one day.

I still didn't like the way the second book left me hanging. I felt sort of played. And, that's without having to wait to get the third book in the series.

I don't know maybe that's just me. After all, I read Catching Fire in one day.

How 'bout you? Have you read the series? What did you think about the way Catching Fire ended?

Team Peeta or Team Gale?

The Hunger Games

I thought it was a great book. I know it's been a hot read for everyone but it took a while to work it's way to the top of my TBR list.

WOW! That's all I can say.

And if you've read about Katniss, Prim, Peeta and Gale, which team are you on?

Team Peeta

or

Team Gale

It's a tough choice for me. Like between Chocolate Ice cream or Coffee Almond Fudge. They are both yummilicious in their own way. I think I'd have to say I choose...

both

Okay, I know you're not supposed to be able to have your cake and eat it too. But, I say throw caution to the wind. Have both and enjoy for them for their distinctive differences;)

No, not really. But, it's a super tough choice. I guess I'll just have to move on to Catching Fire and then MockingJay.

So, if you've read the book(s), which team are you: Team Gale or Team Peeta?
