[wwe4eternity1]

[SingingCagedBird]

I'd like it if she wrote a Prequel

[TheRandomLime]

i think they are going to split mockingjay because lionsgate has rights to four hunger games movies

[GlitterGift]

I love you so much for writing the hunger games

[EmoAngie85]

awww shes reading from a teleprompter :(

[EmoAngie85]

@EmoAngie85 this whole thing is all propaganda!! :O

[Popstar01100]

*Spoiler Alert*

I think if she writes another book it should be about Katniss's family and they way they live in District 12 and how she vists her mom and Gale. I LOVE this series SOOO MUCH!!!!!!! -3

[aliceandshaggy]

@sananapee Trust me, it doesn't happen that way... That person's just being a bitch. :P

[sananapee]

I probably shouldn't listen to this since I haven't read Catching Fire yet haha

[Silentshad0wcj]

[Bieber73991]

[tardis775]

*SPOILERS*

My wuestion to Suzanne Collins: Why would you freaking kill Finnick!!!!

[ellisond073]

@tardis775 i no man y did he have to die he was epic

[pizzaparty212]

i never imagined the author looking like this

[2gp73rby]

On question one I was mad because there was no Spoiler Alert. Goddamit!!!!! I wish I could erase memories

[jkrowling46]

A. Book. From. Prim's. Perspective.

Rule this world.

[twinkiespark]

@jkrowling46 but.... she's dead D:

[imelroy]

There should be more, but told from a different District's perspective. Perhaps from much earlier than where the story takes place. Like the first hunger games, or the 50th from Haymitch's perspective. Maybe someone District 5 or 6, not 12.

[chatterboxgirl14]

I think she should make a mini book, describing where all the main characters are. The book kinda ended abruptly.

[fifty910]

does anyone know where I could by  the necklace she's wearing? it's amazing!

[giantwolflover]

@fifty910 well i have 1 and i got it at chapters

[tolearntolove]

OUR MASTER.

[XFinalXGod]

i like the first one better then the third book

[starguy246]

Hi I am suzanne collins and I am a godess. that is how it should of started

[jkrowling46]

horrifyingly familar buzz. The sound of elctricity, of thousands of volts, running through metal. Just like the fences in district 12. My eyes followed the rod, and to my suprise, they bent down in a circular formation. When it reached the floor below me, my eyes widened in horror. A dark pool of water was no less than six inches below my feet. My reflection showed in the water, iluminated by some lights at the top of the giant room. I was sickeningly underfed. More than I ever was in district

[jkrowling46]

I put all my effort into opening my eyes again, and when i did, I was looking at a large metal clamp that fitted around my stomach. Slowly, I began to understand. I was held up by my hands, tied above my head. I was held in place my a huge metal shackle around my waist. But what are my hands attatched to? I looked up, feeling all the pain slicing my neck. as if little blades were poling me thousands of times. The metal chains that bound my hands went up into a tall black rod. It hummed with a

[jkrowling46]

SOrry, there is a chraracter limit.

My wrists were a dark shde of purple. I winced as I stared up at my hands. Blood caked them and streaks of black shown under my skin I closed my eyes. "My name is Katniss EverdeenI am seventeen years old. I was in the hunger games Twice The second time..." I din't know. My head fell because the pain of holding my neck up was to much. I grimaced as I tried to open my eyes againAll of my internal senses were beepingI dont no were i am but i no it is a vry bad.

[jkrowling46]

SPOILER ALERT(sort of)

I'm just wondering, but was anyone else mad at the entire story line of the mockingjay?

Through the ENTIRE book, i just kept wishing that Katniss had been taken by the capitol and peeta by the rebels. What if the book started out with something like this????

My eyes fluttered open and I tried to move. "uugh" I gasped as a wave of pain ripped through my entire body. Everything was foggy. I looked up, and realized my hands were tied together above my head in metal shackles.

[TheBoogaloohoo]

@jkrowling46 i like Mockingjay better tehn yours. i think that it was perfect

[jkrowling46]

@TheBoogaloohoo

thats cool. I did actually like some parts of the book, but i was really mad when peeta started hating katniss. I don't know. Im just venting really. Reread the books last week.

[BlueTwirl44]

make a book on how Annie and Finnick met and so on, also what they did after the wedding in District 13....hehehehe >:]

[HeatherLovesMusic999]

Dear Suzanne Collins... I..... ABSOLUTELY.... LOVE... YOU!!!!!! The Hunger Games is amazing!

[AngelKytara]

She also Wrote Gregor the Overlander Series!  Does NOONE KNOW THAT!

[ellisond073]

@AngelKytara i no that i read them each of them 3 times

[cis4cathy]

Is that a MOCKINGJAY necklace,she's weaing? if so, I NEED ONE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ObsessiveCompulsive4]

The awkward moment you realise you've been pronouncing all the names wrong in your head o.O

[arthinugami]

Also the 4th book being focused on the 1st Quarter Quell, could focus on social outcasts, or problems children, this being because they are chosen from there district, I see lots of potential with it, as it can deal with lots of social issues like child abuse, being alone or unliked etc.

[arthinugami]

Please if there is a 4th Book please make it a prequel about the 1st Quarter Quell so it won't upset present fans, and be more accessible to newer ones, also it could focus on the life of a career as they must have lots of struggles themselves, being trained to fight from birth and all.

[xLOTTEEEEH]

Make a book about the second quarter quell!

[Sweetsugarshell]

i i i i i LOVE U !

[giantwolflover]

I would like it if you made the books in peeta's perspective

[PicturesandClips2]

@giantwolflover i'd like to see Gale's point of view cuase he had to watch someone he loved who might die.

[jkrowling46]

@PicturesandClips2

That would be such a good one!!!!!!

[raven123xox]

@giantwolflover OMG WE HAVE LIKE THE SAME MIND. A weeks ago I was like they should make a book with Peeta's perspective and they can start over everything and make it back to his childhood him talking about Katniss then it goes on to the reaping and everything.

[raven123xox]

@raven123xox *week not weeks.

[TheNAH02]

@giantwolflover Someone finally said it. OMG I'm so happy. She should. Especially Hunger Games.

[TheeOutlaw]

@giantwolflover

This isn't twilight you fucks

[Molly4Awesome]

they r the best books i have ever read!!! thank u for making them!!! xx

[eaglesgir2015]

Woman, I friggin love you, those have to the best books i've ever read! Thank you!

[KeziahMarieTV]

@silencegalore I totally agree with you I LOVE Peeta soooooo much and he deserves to be on more parts than stupid Gale!! I noticed that as i read the books (in order) there is less Peeta and more Gale. Well, at least Peeta won!!!

[silencegalore]

i kinda was upset with how little face time Peeta got in that book it was all Gale Gale Gale then he turns out to be a terrorists.... i wish she would have worked on Peeta more the actual genuine person in the story

[blhrm5]

@silencegalore lol he killed prim and all the other field medics in the end wtf gale is a biatch in my opinion

[ellisond073]

@blhrm5 yes gale is a bitch 4 killing prim

[ninipaolaproductions]

youd be an awsome english teacher

[blhrm5]

@ninipaolaproductions lol my english teacher is a author

[majka9903]

i came here and im on book two so im like ok so we left of in book to when..._i put my fingers in my ears saying I CANT HEAR YO I CANT HEAR YO NO SPOIL !!!!

[locoamericanito]

Honestly i don't think she should write another book. I finished reading Mockingjay and felt sort of weird, the book wasn't a happy ending it was actually sort of sad but not disappointing. But I liked the way it finished it has kept me thinking about it for the last three days. In other words it finished memorably, even if sad.

[KhemchanProductions]

@locoamericanito You have to read the epilogue.

[bubblegumgurl21]

Omg i love these books and the movie should be epic!

[Zuuuu94]

I loveeee her

[nicholefoofoo33]

Omygosh I want that necklace so bad

[Firegirl1297]

Who wants her necklace? Mee...

[13hail]

@Firegirl1297 same i have the pin now i want the necklace

[awesomegal877]

OMG wouldn't it be so cool if she wrote another book, but from Peeta's point of view?

[Peachgirl39]

One question I have is... WHY DID RUE HAVE TO DIE?!? I started crying and couldn't stop when I read that part.

[kaykayyy42]

@Peachgirl39 same i cried when i heard this girls version of rues lullaby!!

[AnimalLover111111]

Your necklace.... I NEED IT!

[SwiftieNumber13]

@AnimalLover111111 You can find a Mockingjay necklace at Hot Topic! Just go to their website! They have lots of Hunger Games merchandise!

[jjperokh]

can somebody doing something to her hair...hehehehehe..cinna to the rescue please! anyway..love The Hunger Games trilogy!

[Mazy242]

PLEASE WRITE A BOOK 4!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

[Chapyn429]

NO NEW BOOK.

END OF STORY.

[Annenas14]

The end of mockingjay seriously confused me. I didn't know if it was a good or a bad ending and all the sweet and cool people were suddenly dying and that made me wanna quit reading. I considered that halfway the book.

[khfanmuffin]

This sounds kinda, planned :0

[scarypuffchan98]

You guyss!!! Give thumbs down for the spoiler in the top comments please! Or even flag it for spam! I HAVEN'T FINISHED THE SECOND BOOK :( and it totally ruined it for me!

[Weroniva]

I love you Suzanne Collins !! You changed my life! :P

[blhrm5]

MAKE A 4th BOOK PLZ!!!!!!

[unitelittlemonsters]

@blhrm5 it's nearly impossible since she ended with the third book in a epilogue.

[blhrm5]

@unitelittlemonsters she could write it about the kids life or something like that

[HungerGames0807]

@blhrm5 Would be awesome, but i don't see what kind of story will happen after what "happened" ;)

[Anameleth13]

@blhrm5 No. There'd be no point. It'd only kill an amazing series.

[wilddatheart]

@blhrm5 what would happen?

[OkamiKiru]

People always say "Oh i hate reading." and all this stuff just because they haven't found a book that was meant for them. I was one of those people. Once I came across the Hunger Games series I just couldn't stop. Her writing, lead me into loving to read, and I thank her for it. . .

[sims2girl2011]

i havent finished the second book yet but i was stupid enough to keep watching

[misslizzie1204]

Can we get the spoilers out of the top comments? I clicked on this and one of the comments completely spoiled a major character death.

[SuperAnimefan123]

@misslizzie1204 thats what happens when you lookup books! :/

[SuperLazybunny]

I am absolutely a worshiper of ms.suzanne Collins

My class had started reading the hunger games about two to three weeks ago they are only on chapter 11 I took a copy home with me and had finished the book from chapter 1 to 27 in a mere day and a half and that was with many distractions. I am only the mere age of 13 yet she has once again ignited the flame of writing in me!

As soon as I finished the hunger games I had bought the other two (catching fire and. Mockingjay) and just finished mocki

[poptartkitty12]

HAVEN'T FINISHED THE FIRST ONE! *pauses* Whew, close one.

[HaiFelicia]

I LOVE YOU WOMAN! HAHA

[elzgio1]

spoiler alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OtherCrystal]

need the necklace. 

[randa9711]

i havant finished hunger games yet LALALA NOT LISTENING LALALALALA *CLICKS OFF*

[LifeLoveandPoptarts]

U DONT KNOW HOW MUCH ENTERTAINMENT AND DEPRESSION THIS WOMAN HAS BROUGHT ME

[randa9711]

@LifeLoveandPoptarts i do...i do

[scifinutification]

Wonderful Imagination

[melloyello12em]

can you give me the violin notes to Rue's 4-note call please??? i need it for a schoool thing!! Thanks

[JoshHottieHutcherson]

Thumbs up if you cried in catching fire when they captured peeta and whipped gale

[napautotkaba]

oh ms. suzanne, you changed my life in just days.

[awesomegal877]

Hi I'm Suzanne Collins and I killed all of your favorite characters

[AerithsRain23]

@Snowleopard524 ignore the people bitching at you. they shouldnt have read comments.

[Kingpizza10]

***SPOILER ALERT!!!! At the end of Catching Fire Gale says There is no more district 12. The fucking capitol bombed the place down. Luckly Prim, Katniss's mom, and Gale survive!

[laabossdu75]

@Kingpizza10 hahahahahahaha oh my god breaking news

[rikku9zashi]

@gamertagx88

I felt the exact same way. It leaves you so empty, and sad, and completely unsatisfied.

I find myself resenting this woman for that.

[gamertagx88]

If u decide to make people waist another 3 days of their lives please keep up the good work but the ending to the 3rd book was soooooo bad. U just bunched words together and said the end.. You make me sad

[bigfan789]

her eyes are just like katniss' ...

[sMexiicHerry24]

Writing The Hunger Games in another character's perspective is silly. Sounds like what silly old Meyer was doing with her Midnight Sun book. A great story has been told by Katniss, to have another character in the same era and on the same side tell a story along the same lines wouldn't be right. That world was created for the message Katniss's story portrayed.

[superlpslover3]

I finished mocking jay today I have been reading for 4 days and I cried when finnick, prim , and cinna died and I thouth that katniss should have married gale

[AriSelLove]

It's so interesting how the authors of books often never sound or speak or look like how their writing looks or sounds. Very strange.

[fivefamly]

I think she should write another hunger games book, but like, with Gale's perspective. Seriously...it would SUCK to be him. He gets to watch his best friend volunteer to die, and then he watches her make out with a stranger on live tv, and then when she comes back he kisses her and gets death threats, and has to pretend to be her cousin, and then, is told she is pregnant. Seriously.....

[Persona100Duh]

@fivefamly I know! I felt bad for a lot of the characters, but most people I know dislike Gale for whatever reason. Despite certain things he does, I still like his character and it did suck to be him for those reasons you said and more. Gale is hated whenever I even bring him up so it's nice to find others who can see he goes through crap too.

[Sayurii20]

@fivefamly

Ahahahahha XD somehow it sounds funny when you sum it all up like that XD

[xxP0pt4rtxx]

If she wrote books of the past winners other then haymitch cus they watch his video and learn how he won IT WOULD BE EPICNESSS

[mjosumi]

right one in the persective of peeta!!!!



[RadioactiveOwl13]

@geniusBarely YES!!! i want to hear Mags's story the most, she's my favorite tribute (besides Katniss) of the 75th hunger games! (i would say of all tributes but Rue beats her)

[GeniusBarely]

I think she should write books about the past victors and thier Games like Mags, Haymitch, Finnick, Annie, And Cashmere and Gloss?

[typicalturds]

a new story?!? :o i wonder what it will be

[g0llyMISSm0lly]

Thanks everyone for liking my suggestion! check out my Hunger Games: blog ask-abernathy.tumblr .com

[kindafune]

such a spoiler xD ha ill come back later when im done reading book 2 (;

[pharmgirl14]

@pharmgirl14 damn phone... Does and look and put that emphasis

[pharmgirl14]

@mier088 I just look at her and think... "how dotes she kook like that but that much emphasis on the appearance of her characters!??"

[Rawrrimhere101]

Y U KILLED FINNICK

[LiviAGlover]

@Rawrrimhere101 IKR I LOVE FINNICK BUT SERIOUSLY PRIM IM SAD!

[IAmConscientious]

@LiviAGlover PRIM IS NOT EVEN A GRAIN OF SAND COMPARED TO FINNICK. HE WAS THE ONLY REASON THAT BOOK WAS BEARABLE

[downwithbieber22]

@IAmConscientious LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ghostgirlslovestorie]

Look on the good side, Peeta got brought back, but will never be the same (which is downer) and Katniss had a Toddler (boy) and a child (girl) but sadly they don't know about all the people Katniss and Peeta loved, because they either left (katniss mom couldn't handle all the memories from area 12) or got killed or murdered. But i love how it explains why Katniss chose Peeta and not Gale.

[classyandfabulous94]

@Ghostgirlslovestorie ik i was so upset because peeta would never be the same again.

[moonlight9333]

And I'd REALLY like to go on a vacation :)

[scarycat101]

thumbs up for the best author in the world

[Donythehero]

DONT START THAT TEAM GALE OR PEETA TWILIGHT SHIT WITH ME UR ILL KILL U AND UR FIRSTBORN CHILD

[pharmgirl14]

she needs a Cinna...

[mier088]

@pharmgirl14 I lol'd at your comment but i kinda agree :) hehe!

[ILuffWarriorCats]

@Nutplucker I agree -_- To even think of a story as harsh as this. A game where children kill each other!?! I mean REALLY? What the heck?

[mary12496]

I Love suzanne collins! she is so awesome!

[EmeraldStarrz]

I loved the trilogy, but I dont think making Gale create the bomb to (spoiler alert) kill Prim was the right way to get her to choose. I was always Team Gale.

[HarryEverdeen98]

If i could ask her a question, i would ask why did she skrew up the last book

[almazingsk8er]

Am I the only one who thinks that the Hunger Games is based off of the American's break-off from Britain, 13 Districts, 13 Colonies. One kind of hidden, Rhode Island. Britain, The Capitol. Just me? Oh and by the way, I was Team Gale all the way xD

[sushisammy]

"Since I was trained in sword fighting.."

CAN SHE GET ANY COOLER?

[fashionstudd]

world, may i introduce you to the most amazing woman alive.

[lovelikewoee1126]

thumbs up if you cried when finnick and prim died</3

[Neolanaify]

@lovelikewoee1126 Thanks for the spoilers! God... They die?

[TheAlmightyLeroy121]

@lovelikewoee1126 I was like. Fuck. Finnicks the only beast one. DAMMIT!

[readingrox19]

@lovelikewoee1126 well gee, that didn't spoil anything at all -.-

[STEProductions]

@lovelikewoee1126 for god's sake... you need to not spoil crap like that.

[downwithbieber22]

@STEProductions it's not crap! it's a masterpiece!!!!

[STEProductions]

@downwithbieber22 I didn't mean crap in a bad way. Sorry if it seemed like it :p I LOVE these books.

[downwithbieber22]

@STEProductions you better not have, or I would've had to seriously had to injure you, and make it look like a bloody accident!!!!!!

HEE HEE HEE XD

[downwithbieber22]

@STEProductions this is the last time I'll reply to u: capitalize the "g" in God, please.

[STEProductions]

@downwithbieber22 I wasn't referring to God though.. I was just saying god. lol

[awesomegal877]

@lovelikewoee1126 oh god... i already finished the books but did you really have to spoil it for the other people that didn't?

[lovelikewoee1126]

@awesomegal877 sorry qurrl.

[THGfan1]

@lovelikewoee1126 T^T i didn't get to dat part yet :'(

[madsterw1]

BEFORE the hunger games:mom:"Do you want some pita bread?" me:"Ummmm... sure!"

AFTER the hunger games:me:"MOM i want some Peeta bread NOW!!!!" mom:"okaaaayyyy.....here you go....."

[kataraaang123]

SUZANNE DO U KNOW THT U CHANGED MY LIFE!!! WITH UR BOOKS!! HUH?!?! U SHOULD KNOW THIS! BE CUZ IM SURE EVERYONE HERE HAS CHANGED BE CUZ OF UR AMAZING BOOKS!! omg my caps were on... oops

[Khushayyy]

She's changed my life so much. Like I will never ever be the same again. Ever.

[HeiHilkka]

I get a bit annoied when people are bitching about Prim's and Finnick's and some other characters' destinys because the bad things that happened to all those characters made the books as amazing as they are ! I mean it would have been ridiculous if everybody would've just lived happily ever after after all the awfull things that happened to them. When you get badly hurt there's no such thing as getting over it, you just have to learn to deal with it.

[chewy89422]

@HeiHilkka i know!

[g0llyMISSm0lly]

Anyone else think she should write another book that's The Hunger Games but in either Peeta or Haymitch's perspective?

[CullenGirl707]

@g0llyMISSm0lly Not Haymitch's perspective, but in Peeta's would be awesome

[pangexp]

@g0llyMISSm0lly When reading the first one I was thinking she should write a book entirely about Haymitch's Hunger Game

[pinkpink1217]

@g0llyMISSm0lly Peeta please! I think Peeta is the best character in the book, and I believe lots of readers would love to read the story again through Peeta's voice.

[g0llyMISSm0lly]

@pinkpink1217 I know I would!! Peeta love<3

[lovemsally]

@g0llyMISSm0lly i would so wanna see the hunger games in peeta's or haymitch's perspective! but honestly, i would prefer haymitch's a little bit more because i would want to see what was going through his mind when katniss and peeta were in the arena. even if he was drunk half the time.

[g0llyMISSm0lly]

@lovemsally haha I know I would want to see that too! She could make his point of view really funny. Like he's passed out the whole time.. gifts aren't planned like she thought he just sent them when he wasn't a drunk mess.

[LizHatcher2099]

@g0llyMISSm0lly i was literally thinking that while watching this. :)

@g0llyMISSm0lly OMG YES!!! I was actually thinking about that while I was reading book one! I would totally read them, Oh my gosh! lolol
