Ooooh! I hope you like THE HUNGER GAMES, Steph. That's one of my absolute favorite series. Most people find that they want to start reading the sequal immediately after reading the first one :)

Very cool. I'm looking forward to them. Is there going to be a book 3 or only 2?

There will be a book 3, but I just can't tell when it will be published. ACK! It's killing me waiting ;)

I have a feeling it won't be until next August/Septemberish.

Ick! I am so impatient and hate waiting for add'l releases in series I really enjoy. :)
