the hunger games is sososoososo good 🙂
Great list.
Some great books on this list. 🙂 I am FINALLY about to read The Hunger Games. I hope they’re as good as everybody says they are…
Thanks, I only wish I could read more! Beware of The Hunger Games: the first will blow your mind, the second will keep you entertained, but the third was an epic disappointment! Don’t read my reviews if you don’t want to be spoiled, but don’t say you weren’t warned! 🙂
IKR, I never finished the third one, but I’ve seen all three movies; the third one was such a disappointment. I was so shocked with just about everything. Finnick died. Why do they always kill off the hot people????!!!
One last hunger games? WHATTTTTTT?????
The thing were they’re like oooohhh gifts and they reach up for the little parachutes. Mind. Blown. I was so surprised with just about everything. And don’t even get me started on how he died. It’s absolutely terrible. I don’t know if it’s just because I haven’t read the book, but I was crying. Like HOW was that possible???? Thanks.
