Sorry for the spammy Hunger Games serial posting! I just don't know anyone else who has read them, really.

I have about 100 pages of Catching Fire left and I have a really easy substituting gig today but I am terrified to start reading because I don't want to break down weeping in front of all the students. So far I've only cried reading this one once, but. Man. Talk about bleak.

I frequently want to just slam the book shut and yell AND THEN PEETA AND KATNISS LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER THE END.

Oh Zuisa.... Mockingbird is the bleakest of the three.

Oh god, don't tell me that. I'm halfway through Catching Fire.

Mockingjay was my least favorite. it's definitely the bleakest.

if you're into fanvids where people take footage from other movies to make a fake trailer for another movie, you should watch this Hunger Games fanvid. [link]

Seriously. Mockingjay is dark dark darkity dark with a side of despair. Mockingjay makes the first 2 books look like laugh riots.

Oh, yikes. I knew Mockingjay was bleaker than the others, but man. I just cannot imagine Katniss's life getting a whole lot worse at this point. I am envisioning a very high death toll her. I just passed the part where the jabberjays are screaming in Prim and Gale and everyone else's voices and I shudder to think what the Capitol is doing to them =( I am going to need some happy books after this!

zuisa, whatever you do, DON'T START WATCHING BSG RIGHT NOW. Pace yourself.

eta: I didn't have audio, but the visuals of that trailer were great. Was that RDJ as Haymitch?

Hah. That's probably sound advice. Something happy is definitely in order, seeing as how I'm probably going to need to be scraped off the ground in my sadness-induced stupor when I'm done with Mockingjay.

I've moved up to #37 in the holds queue for Mockingjay.
