I Just finished the Hunger Games

Trilogy! Now what?

“Hey man, it doesn’t matter if you didn’t read the first one. Duh. Just jump in with the second one.”

By winning the annual Hunger Games, District 12 tributes Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark have secured a life of safety and plenty for themselves and their families, but because they won by defying the rules, they unwittingly become the faces of an impending rebellion.

“It was cool how Katniss volunteered for her sister. I can’t stand my lil’ brother, but I’d kill somebody to protect him.” 

Seventeen-year-old Teddy Anderson, who is known on the streets as T-Bear, decides to seek revenge on the person responsible for his little sister's death, which was caused by a stray bullet from a semiautomatic handgun.

“I looove Peeta, yet I love Gale, too. Mrs. Nelson & Mrs. Dillard, I know you’re married and I know you said it’s not at all like Twilight, but who would you choose?”

Cassia has always had complete trust in the Society to make decisions for her, but when she is being paired with her ideal mate, a second face flashes on the screen, and Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility as she tries to decide which man she truly loves.

“That was crazy how the Capitol was, like, brainwashed and went along with it. Those people were excited about kids killing each other. That’s some scary stuff! How could you even do that?”

A photo-illustrated look at the youth organizations Adolf Hitler founded and used to meet his sociopolitical and military ends; includes profiles of individual Hitler Youth members as well as young people who opposed the Nazis, such as Hans and Sophie Scholl.

 “I just wanna keep rereading the series over and over. I love how mildly demented Panem is, and I just want to stick with this book forever. “

In a future Chicago, sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomoly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all.

“I wanna know all the hard vocab in this book, because I am Katniss. She’s gotta be so tough. I just wanna learn from her mistakes, so I don’t have to make them.”

Trying to make sense of the horrors of World War II, Death relates the story of Liesel--a young German girl whose book-stealing and story-telling talents help sustain her family and the Jewish man they are hiding, as well as their neighbors.

“Nuh uh, I didn’t jump at all when the mutts

appeared… The thing is I didn’t like how their eyes weren’t like in the book; but still, the muttations were the best for sure.”

In an alternate 1914 Europe, fifteen-year-old Austrian Prince Alek, on the run from the Clanker Powers who are attempting to take over the globe using mechanical machinery, forms an uneasy alliance with Deryn who, disguised as a boy to join the British Air Service, is learning to fly genetically-engineered beasts.

“You didn’t cry when Rue died? What are you

—made of stone?”

Sixteen year old Hazel, who has cancer, meets Augustus at a kids-with-cancer support group and as they fall in love they both wonder how they will be remembered.

 “Isn’t it awesome when you don’t exist in the real world but only in the world of your book? Especially when the characters think it’s an Ethiopia, and it’s not.” 

“Dude, it’s Utopia, not Ethiopia.”

Todd, one month away from an important birthday, learns all the tough lessons of adulthood when he is forced to flee after discovering a secret near the town where he lives.

“I loved it, but I read the whole trilogy in just a few days. Does that mean it was too easy for me?”

A chilling prophecy about the future. 1984 presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. A powerful novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.

“I hated this book! Well, not really. I mean, I loved it. It just made me think

the whole time. I still can’t stop.

Isn’t that awful?”

Three teens embark upon a cross-country journey in order to escape from a society that salvages body parts from children ages thirteen to eighteen.
