Teaser Tuesday with Mockingjay

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
The Hunger Game series by Suzanne Collins is worth the hype. Each book is better than the last. Rarely do I get a chance to say that! It's YA dystopian. Well written and mature. It has a lot of action and twists. There's also parts that make my throat tighten up with emotion. I'm not someone that cries easily at all. This is powerful writing. Mockingjay is the final book in the trilogy. I'm almost at the end!

 Here's your teaser:
Peeta looks around at our stunned faces, as if waiting for a reply. When none is forthcoming, he asks, "Real or not real?" The lack of response upsets him more.  (page 274)

    Yes, I still need to read those and soon. My sister has been telling me to buy books 2 and 3, but I want to read book 1 first.

    Yay! I just finished reading this. I couldn't put the series down. I read one after the other. I literally just finished Mockingjay. Awesome, awesome series. I'm looking forward to the movies.

    By the way, great blog. I'm following you now.

    For those of you who haven't read these books yet, I'm adding myself to the campaign to get you to read them. They are that awesome!

    Aubrie, did I just provide a spoiler?! Oh oh.

    Msmariah, I can't wait for the movies either! So far the peeks at the first one look spectacular.

    That's a really good teaser! I read the first book, but wasn't sure I wanted to continue with the trilogy. This teaser has me wondering about reading them again.

    tfwalsh, I can't wait until you finish it and then I have a question to ask you about what you thought about the ending!

    C D, definitely read on. It's worth it.
