Throwback Thursday is my weekly feature which I created to post a review that I've written from the past. I'll post a review that I've written prior to my blogs existence. I'll be sharing both the books that I think you'd enjoy and the books that I should warn you against wasting your time on! ;-) In honor of the Catching Fire movie release tomorrow, I'm posting my 2011 review of Catching Fire! Not only that, I'm rocking one of the Hunger Games limited edition nail colors by China Glaze called Stone Cold! Yes, that's me baby, stone cold! LOl Just kidding (sort of). ;-) If you want this color for yourself, click there. -> Anyways, if you haven't read these books yet, you need to. Now! My book club will be seeing this tomorrow night. What about you? Who's seeing the movie this weekend?! |

Synopsis:Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.
Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.
In Catching Fire, the second novel in the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen, testing her more than ever before...and surprising readers at every turn.
