...you have a constant countdown, and make sure everyone in your school also knows when its comming out.
...you read it over and over, for a month, simply beacuse.
...you read it over and over to find any 'forshadowing' (I hate the word, have heard it in English class so much) of future events, i.e. in the 3rd book.

24BookLover287
kesäkuu 13, 2010, 4:20 pm

GALE ALL THE WAY! Peeta is a loser. He didn't care about the games for a while. And, I really don't think he would've "loved" Katniss if The Hunger Games never happened. Where, Gale and Katniss, whether they know it or not, have always been in love.

25Mariah7
kesäkuu 13, 2010, 10:17 pm

Peeta always had a little "thing" for Katniss. Remember when he gave the bread to her.

26FantasyGirl2
kesäkuu 14, 2010, 3:37 pm

*sighs* You all forget, Peeta is in love with Katniss's voice and he says so himself. In the book. When he's like, I heard you sing, and I fell in love with you. wth?
And if he really loved Katniss, he wouldn't get mad at her and stuff when he found out she was pretending.

>23 Mariah7:: Yeah, we could go on like this all day. Allll day.

Team GALE!!

27Mariah7
kesäkuu 14, 2010, 7:18 pm

I dont remember that part.

I still think Team Peeta! =)

28FantasyGirl2
kesäkuu 15, 2010, 11:55 pm

*sighs* seems I am having the same argument as that in the other post. See "Gale or Peeta". *sigh*

29BookLover287
kesäkuu 17, 2010, 9:42 pm

A couple is if two people both love each other. Applys to KatnissxGale, not KatnissxPeeta.
P.S. Let's start adding to the list again.

38BookLover287
heinäkuu 5, 2010, 8:50 am

No, but I almost got to. If I was a couple years odler, it would have been required summer reading.

39FantasyGirl2
heinäkuu 5, 2010, 5:22 pm

HG would have been required summer reading if u were a few years older??? In what grade? Where do u live?? I'm going to come move there.
Not that it would make a difference. But a school where the HG is required summer reading sounds like a nice place.

Well, u'll get to read it when u r older, right? Have fun then.
