(view spoiler)[ it would’ve been cool to see them working together from the start but I feel like Peeta would’ve held Katniss back a bit. (hide spoiler)]

[Aaron]

Done
(view spoiler)[ I feel sorry for both of them. It really was real for Peeta and I think Katniss likes Peeta a lot too. She just needs time to sort her head out. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I feel that they will turn against him! (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

Chapters 11-15
(view spoiler)[ I can't believe that Peeta is working with the career pack. On the other hand, Peeta saved Katniss. Now Katniss and Rue are working together! (hide spoiler)]

[Sasha]

I'm finished!
(view spoiler)[ At least both Peeta and Katniss are still alive! I'm pretty sure that the Capitol will punish them for their actions (hide spoiler)]

[Cinthia]

16% End of Ch. 4 (view spoiler)[ I wanted to cry when she volunteered for Prim. I love Gale, he is her friend and I think that he wanted to tell her that he loves her when he said goodbye to her. I am liking Peeta too, I think he did burn the bread on purpose so he could give it to katniss, even if it caused his mom to hit him on the face. I love Prim, she is so innocent, she wanted to take the animals Katniss killed home and save them when Katniss tried to teach her to hunt. I love Buttercup, he sounds like a good pet, at least for Prim, lol. I hope Katniss' mom doesn't go into depression again. I'm glad the Pin reminds Katniss of her father and him singing songs and the Mockingjay's listening and singing them back. (hide spoiler)]

[Cinthia]

39% (view spoiler)[ And so the games begin! I am so glad Cinna is there to give her a pep talk before she goes into the slaughter. I loved Cinna and the outfits. I loved how he didn't dress them in stupid overalls but that amazing synthetic fire. I am glad the gamers gave her an 11 instead of punishing her and giving her a 1. (hide spoiler)]

[Cinthia]

59% End of ch. 16 (view spoiler)[ Dang that boy sure is smart, removing all those bombs and putting them around the supplies. Fox face is super smart! I am liking her. Im glad Katniss is blowing up the supplies. I love that Rue and Katniss are in an alliance, Rue is so cute and so smart. I love that she took care of Katniss and in return Katniss is taking care of her. I'm also glad that Peeta helped Katniss escape after those mutation wasps, yeah Katniss sent them against the careers, Peeta included, but I think he was faking being with them until he could find Katniss. I hope Peeta didn't really kill that girl that had that fire going on. (hide spoiler)]

[Cinthia]

77% End of Ch. 21. (view spoiler)[ Im so glad that Tresh killed Clove and gave Katniss a pass, at least this once, for Rue. I think if Cato would've been near by he would've tried to save Clove, they probably would've won if Clove hadn't been playing and hesitating to kill Katniss, but I am so glad that she did. I hated that Rue was killed! I loved that Katniss sang to her and placed those flowers around her. I'm glad Katniss was able to get the medicine for Peeta. I love that Haymitch knows exactly what Katniss needs. I thought the bread that Rue's district sent Katniss was nice. The sacrifice it must've taken them. (hide spoiler)]

[Cinthia]

Finished... (view spoiler)[ I loved that the Avox girl came to Katniss and gave her the food and squeezed her hand letting her know that she was glad Katniss didn't die. I think Katniss sometimes is a little insensitive when she tells Peeta things, he really does love her and she just uses him. Granted, she uses him to save both of them. I loved that Haymitch still coaches Katniss before the interview because who knows what she would say if he didn't, the whole thing with the berries I can see how President Snow would see it as rebellion. I can't wait to see what happens when they get back to district 12... Gale is not going to be happy that Katniss and Peeta were cross star lovers. (hide spoiler)]

enjoy!!! :)

[Melanie]

Chapter 3

(view spoiler)[Peeta is such a great character. Love how he took the punishment for burning the bread in order to give Katniss the bread. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

Chapter 6

(view spoiler)[Absolutely love the fire costumes. Rereading this after the movie, I can't help but picture that scene. 🌟 (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

Chapter 26
(view spoiler)[
Love how they outsmarted the gamemakers. Clever to use the berries. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

Finished

(view spoiler)[I feel so badly for Peeta. Finding out that she was acting, when he was being genuine. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Sorry for the delay Melanie. Starting this right now. I think I can read this trilogy fast because it is one of my favourites. Love it so much. The movies follow the books, and I love all of them.

No worries. I agree, they are fast reads and I loved rereading the trilogy. :)

[Sharon]

Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[I can’t imagine what it would be like to hear my sibling’s name being announced as a tribute at the Reaping. However, I would probably also volunteer to keep my family safe. The first meeting between Katniss and Peeta was cute. I love how he is so sweet and willing to take a beating in order to give her some of the food. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Melanie wrote: "Chapter 6

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I love their costumes during the Opening Ceremony as well. Also, I love Cinna. He is not your typical Capitol citizen, and I think that he really helps Katniss feel more like a person. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 12: (view spoiler)[I am glad that she tied herself to the tree, or she would have to run for her life. That will be bad because she will be so dehydrated that she will faint if she did. I am happy that she was able to get the rabbit for food and found the pond for water. I would be terrified if I was asleep and woke up to a bunch of flames. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 22: (view spoiler)[Clove shouldn’t have bragged about killing Rue. I thought the kids at the end of the chapter was sweet. Now they are the only district with two tributes alive. They just have to outlast the last 3. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Melanie wrote: "Finished

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I also felt bad for him. However, I do think in some way she did start to have feelings for him. I mean they went through something that no one else in their District knows about beside Haymitch. Their feelings will be made more evident after Catching Fire. (hide spoiler)]

[✨ A ✨]

Starting now

[✨ A ✨]

30%

(view spoiler)[they just arrived at training. i find it hilarious how suspicious katniss is of peeta. i would kill for a peeta pov. i need to know what he is thinking (hide spoiler)]

[✨ A ✨]

52%

(view spoiler)[Rue just died. this is the turning point for katniss. before she was just trying to survive, save her family but now she realises who the real enemy is. this guts me every time 😭 (hide spoiler)]

[✨ A ✨]

68%

(view spoiler)[katniss and peeta together in the cave. Their chemistry is too good i love them (hide spoiler)]

[✨ A ✨]

finished

(view spoiler)[the scene outside the train where peeta realises it was all fake is so sad. i feel for him. but i also understand katniss.

it still bothers me that haymitch and katniss dont tell him things. cant wait to start book 2! (hide spoiler)]

agree (view spoiler)[i feel like the pressure of the games confuses her and she doesnt know how to feel. i try to imagine how they might have met and fell in love if they weren't tributes (hide spoiler)]
