Just received in today's mail. I'm so excited to start reading this one! I'll definitely be starting it this evening.
Thank you so much galleycat for offering this one up for everyone to read. I seriously haven't been able to read anything since I finished Hunger Games because it was all I kept thinking about.
Thank you again!

Oh my goodness! Amazing book. I really don't know if I can wait for the next book to come out. The cliffhanger ending is great, yet frustrating :)
I really can't believe the twists in this book. Anyway, I'm not going to give anything away because I want to see how well everyone else likes this one. Wow.
I've contacted colkectorkerri and received her address. I'll get it went either later this afternoon or tomorrow.
Enjoy!

Received today. Looking forward to reading.
I was totally caught up again in the Katniss' continuing adventures. Lots of twists and turns in this one, with an ending I totally didn't expect. I look forward with breathless anticipation to the final book of the series.
Sent on to Moeshell this afternoon.

Book arrived today. Adding to the top of my tbr. Thanks for sending my way and sharing.
Great continuation of the Hunger Games. I wasn't as caught up in this one as the first book, but was still an enjoyable read. I wish that there was more to know about the allies that Peeta and Katniss join forces with. Perhaps it a tool the author uses that adds to the distrust of the characters for the reader. The less we know the more we question. The ending definately wasn't expected and I am looking forward to reading the third book. I've even preordered a copy myself. I already have to wait about 4 months for the last book and don't think I'd be able to wait through another ring :) Don't worry, I plan on sharing... after I read it of course.
Will send out later this week.

I cannot wait to dig into this one—I really enjoyed the first in the series and look forward to finding out how things turn out for our intrepid heroine.
I have 3 books that I am in the process of reading, but I'll start this one as soon as I can. If it's anything like The Hunger Games, I know I'll race through it once I start.
Thanks!

Synopsis:
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

Bravo once again! I was so mesemerized that I did exactly what I thought I would do—devour this book from start to finish!
Katniss is such an awesome voice. I really like her (so much more than a certain other "heroine" of a certain supernatural YA vamp series). I was absolutely riveted, and I can't wait to read #3 in the series.
One of the blurbs on the back cover refers to this series as "heart-stopping," and I have to say that I agree. I would get to the end of a chapter and think, "Ok, turn off the light and go to sleep." Nope. I'd rationalize finishing just one more chapter. :)
Thanks again for sharing this. I have indy's address and will get this book in the mail as soon as possible.
ETA: It looks like Mockingjay, the third and final entry in the series, will be released in the States in August 2010. Can't wait!

This has probably been sitting at my house for a few days...just got back from vacation today & here it is! Thanks, mellion, for passing it on. Just about to finish my current book, & then will dig into this one!
A great follow-up to "Hunger Games". I didn't feel like this one had quite the amount of edge-of-your-seat suspense as the first did, but nonetheless, there were some amazing twists & ingenious obstacles for Katniss & her entourage to overcome. This 2nd book alludes more directly to an upcoming rebellion, and definitely leaves a cliffhanger at the end. It would be hard to read this one & not be anxiously awaiting book #3. :')
I've got the address for the next reader & should be able to ship it off within the next couple of days!
6/16/10 -- Mailing off today to tracy920...happy travels!

Just got the book, can't wait to start reading.
Woo-Hoo! This was waiting for me today when I got home for work. Will be reading it this weekend. Thanks so much - I'm really looking forward to this.
Galleycat - when I finish, do I send to BouncingFerret or back to you??

Super follow-up to the first novel. I enjoy Katniss - she is definitely a heroine with a lot of smarts and I hope that the third installment can keep up the pace. The second novel finds Katniss resigned to death and yet fighting to keep her family and friends alive. I too am looking forward to the third release and I will probably get it rather than wait for the bookring to make its way to me.
Waiting to find out who gets this next.

Returning to galleycat. Thank you so much for organizing this ring - I have enjoyed this series and look forward to getting the third book next week when it comes out. (I'm afraid I can't wait for a third ring, lol)
