Tonight was our book club meeting to discuss Catching Fire. Although most of us had read it already, we were excited to discuss this book (finally)! The consensus? We LOVED this book. It was just as gripping as the first. Some liked the first book (The Hunger Games) better but some liked this one better. Either way, we all are kind of getting sick of Katniss not being able to decide who she loves. Peeta or Gale?? We all vote for Peeta, but it is understandable why she loves Gale too. What we mostly wanted to discuss was how Suzanne Collins could end the book how she did! She really REALLY left us all hanging for the next book, but that won't be here for a long time! She left us with so many questions about a district 13, where's Peeta, where's her family... So many! We were also discussing the movie that they are for SURE making, starting with The Hunger Games and who should star in it... What do you think? Have you read this book? Tell us what YOU think! :D
This is our first post of many, please feel free to comment and leave your input! We would LOVE to hear it!

ReplyDeleteI love it!!! So great! My two cents for Catching Fire... LOVED IT! So annoyed with the Peeta vs Gale. It just should be Peeta! :)
ReplyDeleteA little slow in the beginning but am so stocked for the next book to come out! Good pick Tay! Im excited for this next months. Yikes... scary read!
Miss you guys.
Yay! Meghan! We miss you too! Glad to see you agree about Peeta. haha I'm super excited for the third book as well! :D
ReplyDeletemy thoughts on catching fire, since i wasn't there...(i dont know why i forgot to write this in my earlier comment. pregnancy brain i suppose. lol)
ReplyDelete...At first, i was pretty bored with this one! But ofcoarse, it picked up and I was thrown all over the place with what was going on. I have NO idea what they will do to peeta, but i sure hope he doesn't die. I think the next book will be all about saving him..
i feel like i had so much more to say about the book, but its been a while since i finished it and i cant remember very good!
PS: The food spread has improved since my departure. Not fair! :)
