The Hunger Games-Revealed with Alejandra, and Tori

[Alejandra (Allie)]

This is the discussion topic created to discuss the Hunger Games (the first book in the trilogy only). Feel free to join this buddy read if you feel like it.

[Tammy]

I may do a re-read with you guys...I planned on re-reading before the movie anyway

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Hmmm...I wasn't planning on re-reading, but maybe I will :)

When are you planning on starting?

[Sannie]

Can I Join :D ?

[Tori]

Anybody may join! I'm kind of new to this myself but we are just going to like read it and just like discuss it here. :) And thanks Alejandra for creating this... :)

[Alejandra (Allie)]

No problem. Any body is welcome to join in on this buddy read. We just read the book and discuss what you liked or disliked about the plot, characters, etc. Spread the word to your friends if you want to. :)

[Tori]

Well I will most likely be starting on Tuesday or Wednesday because I am almost finished reading my current book... And alejandra, are we going to keep each other updated through out the book or just when we are done? And also guys... this is a non spoiler zone so don't wreck the book for other people that havent read it yet.

[Sannie]

Can we set a due date, and then discuss it, or? :)

[Alejandra (Allie)]

If you want we can set a due date, but we'll have to ask the rest of the participants if they agree because some people might have a hard time fitting the time to read into their schedule and won't be able to finish the book on time.

[Alejandra (Allie)]

To Tori: Whatever you want. I like to discuss (without spoiling) as I go along, but that's just me. If you just want to discuss until we're done with the book then feel free to do so.

[Tori]

Yeah I think we should set a due date for like a period of a week? Cuz i know myself can finish a book in as little as 2 days so a short due date wouldn't be a problem but does anyone else have any suggestions for times?

To Alejandra: I would prefer to discuss through out the book because then we can talk about like characters and what we like about the book etc.

[Tori]

Sheri: like this: --- (view spoiler)[ hello (hide spoiler)]

[Tori]

Lol

[Alejandra (Allie)]

Okay. If we do decide to do a due date, how much time should we give the group to finish he book?

[Tori]

Like a week or something... Dependin on how fast everyone can read

[Sannie]

A week sounds fair :)

[Tori]

Okay guys just to let you know... I have started Hunger Games and I am LOVING it!!

[Tanecia]

[Tanecia]

[Alejandra (Allie)]

Sure! Anyone is welcome to discuss!!!

[Alejandra (Allie)]

You can start the book if you want to already, Renee. I'm going to start tomorrow or on Thursday. :-)

Your not the only one!

[Juliana]

Ohhhh, I'm in! =D
Re-read! No spoilers, got it. My lips are zipped. None. Pinky swear.

[Alejandra (Allie)]

It's good to have so many participants! Hopefully more people will start creating and participating in more buddy reads. :)

[Tanecia]

Yeah I hope so! My soul to take was my first buddy read and it was so fun!

[Juliana]

So is a buddy read basically when you read a book with other people then discuss it? Maybe? Haha, I read My Soult to Take! It was alright. But do you just read the whole book through then discuss, or stop at points and talk? Sorry, it's my first one....

[Tanecia]

You can do a little bit of both. Because it's kind of hard when everyone reads at different speeds lol

[Juliana]

Oooooooooooh, okay! I'll just go with the flow. =)

[[deleted user]]

I plan to re-read it(I need decorating ideas and it's just that awesome!)So, I'll join too!

[Tori]

I am about almost halfway through and seriously loving it!!!! I actually feel like I am in the story and all the places that they are in... and write now i am team Peeta

[Alejandra (Allie)]

I'm going to read it with my paperback copy instead of the ebook version since it's faster for me. I'm like on page 6 right now and so far so good.

[Sannie]

I will start it tomorrow :)

Peeta is always so sweet :)

[Alejandra (Allie)]

Peers is pretty sweet, but I still like Gale's personality more.

[Alejandra (Allie)]

Gah. I meant to say Peeta. Typing on a kindle is not fun at all!

[Kassandra]

I like both guys they have different personalities. Gale has a sheild to protect himself but he's also a badass which is hot!<3 And Peeta is more of a softy and shows his feelings he is also a sweat talker which is cute:)

[Maxine]

Anyone else excited for the movie? I plan to finish reading the series after it, since I want to compare the movie with the book first:)

I'm going to read the trilogy first to see if the Hunger Games is a movie I'll be looking forward to.

The trailer looks amazing! But I hope it's as good as it looks. Some times movies butcher the books, so here's hoping

[Kassandra]

the trailer does look awesome it makes me more excited then i was before!! Yes they do soetimes!

[Maxine]

I'm wondering what scene's they'll cut out/change, (view spoiler)[ I demand that I see Haymitch puke then fall in it (hide spoiler)]

[Kassandra]

ya i hope they keep all the cute and important parts!

[Alejandra (Allie)]

Lol. That scene would be hilarious in the movie.

[Kassandra]

which scene?!

[Alejandra (Allie)]

The 'Haymitch falling in his own puke' part, lol.

[Kassandra]
