Dystopian News

First of all, PLEASE don't go to GoodReads if you want to avoid Mockingjay spoilers.  I learned the hard way...and so did Carla.

Suzanne Collins answers 5 questions over at Scholastic.

Mrs. DeRaps has a round-up of some cool Mockingjay posts around the blogosphere

Amanda at the Zen Leaf is preparing for Mockingjay. I am in complete agreement on her reading of the Gale vs Peeta debate.

Sarah Enni talks about the (casting) Katniss problem.  I love the idea of Tania Raymonde (Alex from LOST) playing her.
