Official Hunger Games Trailer!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK??

Britney Meets Hunger Games?

Ok, this is totally ridiculous, but it really cheered me up and I thought it might make you smile too:



What is the funniest video you've seen lately? Bonus points if it is book related (however vaguely).

First Look at Katniss!

I still think she's a little too old, but man, what a little hair dye and costume does! What do you all think?

The Hunger Games Movie has a Katniss!

And it will be Oscar-nominated Jennifer Lawrence!

What do you think? Relief? Travesty?

I'll admit I was hoping for Hailee Steinfeld, as I think that Jennifer Lawrence, at 20, is too old to play Katniss for the many years it will take to complete the trilogy. But maybe when I see Winter's Bone (the movie that propelled her to the Oscar nomination) I'll change my mind.

The Wrap also mentions that Alex Pettyfer is rumored to be the first choice for the role of Peeta. I haven't heard any rumors for casting Gale, have you?

Sound off in the comments, and one of you will win DROUGHT by Pam Bachorz.

"Ruby's blood holds the secret to the Water that keeps her and her fellow Congregants alive and enriches Darwin West, who has enslaved them for two centuries, but when her romance with an Overseer, Ford, brings her freedom in the modern world, she faces a terrible choice."

You have until midnight on Sunday, March 20th to comment, and only those ages 12-18 or in grades 6-12, who can pick up the prize at a Sno-Isle Library are eligible to win.

Release Date for the Hunger Games Movie!

Just a quick post to tell you that they've announced the release date for the movie:

That's practically only one year away!

Hunger Games Audition Video

According to the description on YouTube, this is an audition video for the girls playing Katniss & Rue. It's pretty awesome.

Note, this is the Hunger Games, so it's violent. There's even some spurting blood, so if you're averse to such things, skip the video.

MOCKINGJAY Trailer!

I can't believe we haven't posted this!!!



Place your hold on Mockingjay now! The book is released on August 24th, and I'm hoping I'll be able to find it in the airport bookstore - 'cause I CANNOT wait until after my vacation to read it!

In the meantime, what do you think will happen in Mockingjay? Will Katniss prevail against the Capitol? Is Peeta alive? If he is, will Katniss end up with Gale or Peeta?

Tell us what you think will happen in the comments, and we'll choose one random winner who will receive a hardcover copy of The Chronicles of Nick: Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon (which currently has 64 holds!).

The Chronicles of Nick: Infinity
"Streetwise, tough, and savvy, Nick and his quick sarcasm are the stuff of legend... until the night when his best friends try to kill him. Saved by a mysterious warrior, Nick is sucked into the realm of the Dark-Hunters: immortal vampire slayers who risk everything to save humanity. With his fellow students turning into flesh-eating zombies, how can he stop them... without getting grounded by his mom?"
