About Mockingjay
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she’s made it out of the bloody arena alive, she’s still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what’s worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss’s family, not her friends, not the people of District 12. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins’s groundbreaking The Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about books of the year.

I really want to read these!!! And first commenter, whooo!
I’ve been very curious about all the anticipation and publicity surrounding the release of Mockingjay. This certainly seems like a series worth reading.
I’d love to read this series. I don’t know where I’ve been but this is the first I’ve heard of this series. 🙂
LT: tcgardner
I would like to know what all the fuss is about. theoclarke 🙂
I would love to get these books! I’ve been wanting to read them, but haven’t had a chance to yet!
Woohoo! Can I be first? Well, that’s a first. 😉
Would love to read these books – have heard lots of good things about them.
Sounds like and interesting Trilogy. Sign me up for a possibility to win.
I’ve heard so much about these books that it would be great to check them out,before any movie versions are under way.
I have listened to the audiobooks, and read these in Kindle form. I need a hard copy to put on my shelf to show what kind of books 40 year old men read.
Looks interesting…
This trilogy seems to be interesting since it is about a group of people who are protesting a particular practice in their society.
Oh! This sounds wonderful! My friends have all been telling me great things about this whole series…

Sounds like a very interesting series – I hope I win!
I really like the hunger games-I’ve been trying to read the first book but in my library I’m number 57 on Que. I’ve read the first 216 pages in the bookstore and other places, and so far, it’s amazing!
I have never read this series and it looks great. I will definitely pick it up in the future if I don’t win a copy!
I’d love to be entered because on the Hunger Games book page the little ‘will you like it’ bar said that I wouldn’t like it.
Which means that by hook or by library (or winning a cool contest ;)) I’m just gonna have to read it then. (Yes, I’m sorta backwards that way).
Oh, how fun! I first heard of The Hunger Games at lunch with a YA book author during our local book festival last September. As I had a 9 week old at the time, and was 3 weeks out from returning to work full-time, I added the series to my TBR list, knowing it would be a while before I could read them. When I learned earlier this year that Mockingjay would be out this summer, I decided to wait until the trilogy was complete, as the impatience and agony of waiting for the next book in a beloved series to appear is something I try to avoid if possible! And given the *multiple* recommendations I’ve had for the Hunger Games books, I am sure I will want to devour them all once I begin!! – LT member grkmwk

I’ve read the first in the series but not the rest. Would love to read the rest!
Pick me! Pick me!
I am eager to read Mockingjay to see what happens next in the series.
Please! My shelves are not yet splintered with overcrowding; hence, I do not have enough books! elvisettey
These look interesting.
OK, I admit I have read them, but I would love to have copies of my own.
I’ve been looking for a reason to read these!

Does anyone else see the title to the third book and mentally sing, “Mock – yeah – ing – yeah – jay – yeah….”?
Would love to win the boxed set! Thanks for the contest!
Please, just one box sir, for a public library that can’t afford the whole set for its teen readers!

Ooh, a contest! whirligigwitch
Ah, Katniss. Finally a strong female character who doesn’t tremble at the sight of danger nor exist solely to look cute. As an educator, I truly appreciate the role model that she presents to contrast all the Babysitter Vampire Miley Whoever garbage out there these days.

I’ve been waiting for this series to come to my country since the first book was published. it never did :c
Hopefully I’ll win and not have to wait any longer 😀
Oh! I somehow totally miss the hype that went with the first book, but the Mockingjay promotion has totally whet my appetite for the series!
The Hunger Games? Is this about food????? I’m Hungry Now :o)

I have been wanting to read these books, so I’ll cross my fingers.
That’s two mentions of The Hunger Games I’ve come across in the last twelve hours. Guess that means I have top read them now.

Doesn’t everyone love free books?! -MillieHennessy
I’m always looking for a new book to read, with a new genre, and this is right up my alley. I have yet to read this and I hope I win the set.
Must be swimming in copies of Hunger Games books over there.
I thought I was the last person on the planet who hadn’t read them, but apparently there are a few others. (username: Norabelle414)
Pick me! I need to read those books!
I’ve been meaning to start this series for quite some time now. This would be wonderful!
I have not had the opportunity to read this trilogy and I have been wanting to. This would be great.
I’d like to enter. jm501
Haven’t read the books yet, and it would be nice to have them all in one place. shadrach_anki
I absolutely loved this book! Action, suspense and TRUE grit!
Oh, I’m interested!
My comment says that it’s still awaiting moderation. What’s up?
I’m very excited to read this series. It’s been on my list for awhile and now I just can’t wait. Hope I win! 🙂
OOHHHH!! Best Series EVER!! I want to share it with everyone!
I didn’t hear about this Hunger Games series until all the publicity about the latest one! Now, I am curious. Perhaps not curious enough to spend the money, myself, though!
Thanks for the giveaway!
It sounds like an entertaining novel series… also one that engages with popular culture and ethics. I would be interested in this novel series. Thanks Gregorio Roth
From the buzz on LT, it sounds like something my husband and I might like. Thanks for the opportunity.
The set would make a nice gift for my son. He devoured the first two books.
My username is LauraAdams and I would love to win this trilogy!! Thanks for the contests!
I was just trying to decide when I would be buying the set, so ooh…
kid can’t wait to read this – it will be months b/f library has it; hope kid wins
Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Not me! I want the books for free!
Os.
Big fan of apocalypse lit here! Would love to get my hands on the box set. 🙂 (Username: Ape)
I know so many people who are just now getting into these books…would love to have my own copies to share with friends!
Would love to get a set of these books…:-)
Apparently I am going to have to read these books. So it would nice to win this.
Posted a comment this morning but am trying again as no sign of it.
I am dying to read these!
Pick me! Pick me! I love to read!
I read them all, but had to borrow them. I would love to own them so I could reread them.
Oooh – I’d love to read these!
I would love to read these books! I have seen great comments about them.
Would love, love, love to win the set! (Thought I left a comment yesterday but it’s not showing up, begging forgiveness if it seems I’m trying to enter twice!)
My kids have enjoyed the series.
Haven’t heard of these either. Seems interesting.
Ooh, I’ve been on the waiting list at the library for so long! hsollom
I would love to have this boxed set — I have been wanting to read Hunger Games, and I would love to share it with my high school students.

I’m curious, yes. Count me in.
I’d be interested in reading these; username=kakesu. Thanks!
Free books are cool… 🙂
My comment was a bit too short. I went back and tried again.
This will make a certain girl love me forever…? Good enough? lcgorham
I have being thinking about this Hunger Games Series too…uhmmm
My niece said I “have to read this series, Aunt Janet!” How can I not try and win it.
I had heard of the series but didn’t read them until I took a YA literature class (not on the list, but I figured I should know them). Now I’m glad I waited, got to read them all in the row with no waiting!
Great series! All of the teens in my library are so excited about Mockingjay.
One more participant.
Oh I really want to read this series! I’m on the waiting list at the library, and it’s moving so slow. I would love to win these
I left a comment here yesterday, but it still shows as “awaiting moderation”. I’d love a copy of these books, they sound great! (username = philosojerk)
Oh, people have been telling me to read this series! I’d love to win!
-Ancientgirl
Well, count me in. I’ve heard a lot about these books, and would like to give them a try!

Oops! My username is missysbooknook.
Somebody give me free books.
cdnshopaholic I love free books! and this series looks awesome!

The Hunger Games series is one of the greatest series of all time. Nuff said.
I will try!

I would love to read this series.
Haven’t read them yet, would like to.
I know my students are excited about this.
Sounds interesting, I’m in! cthulhuslibrarian
I’ve been itching to read these. I’m in!
Haven’t read any of them – winning the set would be a great reason to start.
I would love to win the set….stevetempo
I’ve read the first two and I loved them!
This sounds like a great prize!
<3 the THG series!*fingers crossed*
fayeflame
Ooh. Please, put my name in the hat as well.
I can’t wait to read Mockingjay!!!
Worth a try 😉
I haven’t read a good series in a long time. It’d be nice to start a new one.
I’d like to win. Thanks!
The box set looks fabulous!
Totally new series to me. From what I’ve been told about these books, a definite read for me.
I heard about this series from a family member and have heard only rave reviews from friends and classmates (grad school) who have read the books. I can’t wait to read them!
I’d love a shot at it. I love this series. Thank you!
I think this series sounds worthwhile. Classes are in though, so I haven’t picked it up. A boxed set would be a nice wind-down at bedtime!
I’ve heard so many good reviews of this series! jewels1864
This sounds like a great series. Would love to read it!
Absolutely yes! And when I’m finished, they’ll go to my students or my school. trojanpotato
Wow, how did I end up so far out of the loop. It’s the book of the summer.
I have heard only great things about this series. One of my favorite things to read is dystopian fiction and from what I understand this series does the job well.
My eighth through elevnth grade students keep telling me about how awesome these books are. As a reading and writing instructor who is young enough to have some cred with them, so to speak, I would love to finally read them and see what they are so excited to be reading.
I’ll try my luck… hoping I’m still allowed if I’m not USA based (it does say any LibraryThing member).
ooh- I have friends who rave about this series, but I haven’t read them yet. Hope I get lucky!
Might as well give it a shot! Here I am!
Yes please, I’d like a chance. 🙂
oooooh! I want to win!!
I posted a comment and it disappeared, hmm. Glad I checked back to see how many comments there were.
I am very grateful to you and the publisher for doing this. I would like to win, but whether I do or not, thank you for doing this. God bless. 🙂

wme43 I would love to have this for my school’s library!
This would make an awesome end of year prize for my students (if I could bear to part with it!).
I’m curious. I’m curious what time it is in the States and if I’m still eligible. Here’s hoping 🙂 kwill
Dying to read this series. melydia
Nice set of books!
I’ve read the first book and would like to read the others.
I’ve been back and forth on whether to read these books – the Gregor books were very good, but dark
These books are on my to-read list and I can’t wait to read them!!! My son loved the Gregor books. I’m so excited to read these!
Can’t wait to read the last book. Saving it for a special weekend where I will not be interupted
Always looking for a new read (and the more books in a series the better….)
Who can say no to free books, especially books from such a popular series?

oh, i think i am late…
I’ve been wanting to read these book for a long time now, but haven been able to get my greedy little hands on any! 🙂
Sorry I’m a few hours late for this contest. Would have loved to win the trilogy. I haven’t read any of the books, yet. They sound like great fun. Good luck to whomever entered timely!
I am a used/new bookstore owner with a lot of teen shoppers who are really into the fantasy and sci-fi realm of books. I hadnt’ heard of this series until recently and with my bookstore sales poor lately havent been afford to purchase as set. Getting a boxed set of all three volumes would be great so I can recommend them to my teen shoppers and as I am a book reviewer for the Amazon Vine program and post my reviews on goodread and librarything, it would be great to read it, promote it, review it.
me, please? dcmurrayb
ermmm, apparently can’t tell time…..maybe reading more free books would help! 🙂
[Sorry, just noticed I missed the deadline. Cheers, b.]
My cousin has raved about Hunger Games, so the set is something I would love to win!
Here’s hoping to add the boxed set to my classroom library for my 9th and 10th graders! 🙂

p.s- Great timing, I am posting my review of The Hunger Games on my blog tonight! Feel free to stop by and comment about your giveaway!
Me, Me, Me please!
I too have been meaning to pick up this series, but as a poor grad. student, Meaning to buy and read books doesn’t always mean much. So, yes, I too would love to get the books!
What happened to my post? I posted before the deadline and I saw it up and now it’s gone!
I work at a Library and have heard the constant chatter about The Hunger Games for months now. I’ve been hesitant due to all the hype from Twilight. I tried reading it, and I was really disappointed. But who knows? Maybe this series will turn out to be different.
Please pick me!I really really really want to read the book!
How come my comment from last night doesn’t appear? 🙁
I haven’t heard of these books, so I was surprised to see people so excited about them. Love to find out what the hype is all about.
My comment from last night seems to have disappeared also.
I would love to read these. I have heard great things about this series.
Ahhh…they’ve magically appeared now…phew!
What happened to my comment? This isn’t right…
lizaandpaul: “What happened to my post? I posted before the deadline and I saw it up and now it’s gone!”
Ditto.
My early post… the very first comment, I think, has vanished too. theoclarke
I have all the comments in the blog admin page. I don’t know what’s going on with the comments showing on the site, but I have all the comments and I’m choosing the winner now.
Why have I never heard of these books before? I am intrigued.
Bummer! I missed the deadline! Fudge!
I cannot wait to read these books!! They are so interesting and I have a feeling my adrenaline will be going a lot haha.
WOW, looks like a fun series! LisaJ3
darn missed the deadline
