Flag, Meet Mockingjay. Mockingjay, Meet Flag.

At TID HQ, we make an effort to keep up with the latest in YA Lit (latest in fashion - not so much). So, when Liz read The Hunger Games trilogy over Thanksgiving, it was only a matter of time until Cailey jumped on the dystopian bandwagon. Why did it take us so long to delve into this wonderful world Suzanne Collins created? We don't even know! All we do know is that we devoured these books like they were sent to us in silver parachutes after days in the arena without food. And, as suckers for kick-ass female characters, we love Katniss in all her badass archery skill-rocking and conflicted emotion-repressing glory. We do, however, remain divided when it comes to Team Peeta vs. Team Gale.
