Mockingjay Reminder & A Message from Suzanne Collins

Hey everyone! Don't forget today is your last day to enter the Mockingjay 13 District Blog Tour here at GreenBeanTeenQueen. If you haven't already entered, be sure to do so so you have a chance to win an awesome Mockingjay hoodie!

Also, I wanted to share this very important message from Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games.

One of the most important things to me is that everyone in the world is going to be able to experience the final book of The Hunger Games all at the same time, and be able to discover what happens in the book without hearing about it elsewhere first. Word will certainly travel fast, but I urge you – before or immediately after August 24th – to please respect the other Hunger Games fans worldwide and avoid sharing any spoilers, so that the conclusion of Katniss’s story can unfold for each reader the way it was meant to unfold.


I can only echo the plea for spoiler free conversations and reviews-and I mention this from experience. I've been burned by spoilers before, so please don't let that happen to someone else! Be careful what you post and what you say. We're all excited to share in the final chapter of Katniss's story so please take Ms. Collins advice and be careful of spoilers.

    Hopefully the book will start appearing on our store shelves not too long after official release day.

It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou
