Today I started and finished the first book in the Hunger Games series. I then spent an additional hour or so discussing it with my 10 year old daughter. She finally got fed up with me, handed me book #2 and said "Mom enough with questions, keep reading." LOL! Mallory has read the series repeatedly. She claims to like Katniss more that Hermione. I

LOVE the Hunger Games series. There's tons of (well-written) HG fic on Archive of Our Own (AO3). One of my favorites is by annakovsky - To the Victor, the Spoils - and is an AU, starting after book 1 (but making mention of backstory & characters from book 2, so mild spoilers.) Gorgeous fic, though terribly depressing.

One of my friends just did a HG fic rec post. I'll see what I can link for you. :)

Oh thanks for the link! I'll go poke around AO3. Im not too familiar with that site. Any other HG stories you care to rec? I am all ears.

The three-tome boxed set is sitting on my coffee table, waiting to be read. I'm very, very curious.

Consider yourself nudged in the direction of your coffee table. Poke poke

I love the hunger Games! Though it's such a gritty series.

i did quite enjoy them, but i did find it odd that teenagers on their way to certain death weren't more interested in getting laid as quickly as possible.

"getting laid as quickly as possible" I kept waiting for the sex part to show up too. Seemed to be completely missing as far as Katniss knew. I expect other less starving tributes were more focused on that.
