Hi there, welcome to our blog!

We're Dwayne and Hanna,
compulsive readers whose
growing book collection sadly
lacks a bookshelf.

We're 23 and 15, and we live in London.

Like most sisters, we bicker. A lot.

24 August 2010

It's Mockingjay Day...

... not. While the US is undoubtedly crying/screaming/fainting over the release of Mockingjay today, we here from across the pond are still waiting, waiting, waiting...

I have not encountered much spoilers so a huge thank you to the considerate readers and bloggers, although to those who do post spoilers, do consider us! We also want to enjoy Katniss' story the way we should. We'll join the club of crying/screaming/fainting readers tomorrow, worry not! :D

If you're in the UK, overly excited but is currently catatonic due to fear of spoilers here are some great fanfictions to discover! It won't be the same as reading the real book, but it will feed your Mockingjay hunger somewhat!

Post-CF. Peeta is rescued from the Capitol by Katniss and her band of rebels; however, after months of torture it is unkown if he will survive. It is also unknown if Katniss will survive if he doesn't.


MY FIRST DATE WITH KATNISS EVERDEEN
KenoshaChick

Take a deep breath. Wipe the sweat off your hands. Don't let her scowl make you nervous. You're only talking to the girl you've been in love with your entire life. (This story takes place in the spring before the Hunger Games, in a world where Peeta actually has a backbone.)


PEETA'S HONEYMOON SURVIVAL KIT
Medea Smyke

What could Peeta possibly need for his honeymoon? Lord knows. Good thing he's got such good friends, like Gale and Finnick, to help him figure it all out.


CHRISTMAS CHEERS 
Medea Smyke

A fluffy little one-shot for the holidays. One catastrophy leads to another as Gale and Madge get their son ready to visit their family on Christmas Eve. Gale/Madge Peeta/Katniss.

Candycornlol

The Hunger Games through Gale's eyes.

I am a coward. I never told her. I don't know what it would feel like to hold her in my arms as something more than we are. I don't know if she loves me. The worst part... is that I might never know. I might lose her before I get the chance to find out.


I hugely recommend the first three I've listed. SCARS is a romantic Mockingjay assumption that will delight the Team Peeta club. My First Date with Katniss Everdeen is accurate to characters and absolutely adorable! And, Peeta's Honeymoon... now that one is just hilarious. Genius.

Hope you don't mind me sharing, we do have our own little ways of coping with the Mockinjay fever... :)

Enjoy and well...happy reading!

Ah good ol' fanfiction. I remember reading some way back in the waiting-for-the-next-Harry-Potter-book-to-come-out days :P. I'm so jealous of everyone in the US that gets to read Mockingjay today...but ah well. I'm off to read Peeta's Honeymoon; I'm in need of a good comedy! Thanks for the links :).

Sorry you're having to wait, but at least you get better covers over there. We have family in the UK and the next time we visit I'm going to stock up. I love love love your versions of Maggie Stiefvater's books.

I'm reading Mockingjay right now and LOVING it. :D

When I'm done, I'll probably go into instant withdrawal and I'll be checking out those fanfics. Thanks for sharing!

@Liz: Ah yes, I always jump to fanfictions when a series ends :) I remember the Harry-Hermione-Ron love triangles all around:D

@Kailia: Ooh, I hope you get it soon! There are mixed reviews but I liked it:)

@Iffath: God, if I saw your comment on exactly that time you would have driven me craazy.

@Lu: Yaay! Wonderful giveaway, I'm sure loads would want it!

@Tiffany: Funny, I think you guys get the better covers! I didn't like the Mockingjay cover - too orange! But I do like Shiver/Linger. I still like yours better though, blue and green!:D

@The Paperback Princess: Thaank you! I'll check it out :)

@Lauren: Oh God, I just went into withdrawal! I'm like Haymitch and his alcohol. Lol
