Catching Fire Does Just That!
The hang-on-the-edge-of-your-seat dystopian fiction is now in its ninth printing, with foreign publishing rights sold for 35 territories and a movie in the works. And the phenomenon is only likely to grow with the publication Tuesday of the highly anticipated second novel in the “Hunger Games” trilogy, “Catching Fire.”
If you don’t yet know Collins or “The Hunger Games,” you will. The Internet has been abuzz with fan sites ticking down the seconds to the release of “Catching Fire”; readers have posted mash-ups of “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games” videos on YouTube.

Reasons to buy Catching Fire at Borders
Borders filmed a one-hour Borders Book Club discussion with Collins, three adults (including a librarian) and six teenagers. On release day, the
talk will go up on Borders’ Web site and play in the 90 (out of 513) Borders stores with TVs. Borders has filmed such discussions with just three other YA authors: Stephenie Meyer for Eclipse, Sarah Dessen for Along for the Ride and Christopher Paolini for Brisingr. With Scholastic’s permission, Borders also created a mockingjay pin, which it plans to sell for 50% off its $6.99 retail price with the purchase of Catching Fire. Finally, on September 1, Borders will highlight Catching Fire in its weekly email blast to all 34 million Borders customer loyalty program members. “The storyline to this is just so catching,” said Liz Marotte, Borders’ YA buyer. “Forty-year-old men can enjoy it as much as 16-year-old girls.” Read more here.

MTV covers Hunger Games
MTV’s Hollywood Crush gives us an article about The Hunger Games and it’s Sequel “Catching Fire.
“It seems rather silly to add my two cents of praise to a book that’s been 1) acclaimed by Stephenie Meyer and Stephen King, not to mention a whole lot of other book reviewers; 2) snatched up by Lionsgate to be made into a movie, written by its very author; and 3) sitting in the New York Times best-seller list for 48 weeks. I’ll just say that if you haven’t yet read Suzanne Collins’ “Hunger Games,” then I’m kind of jealous of you. You get to discover the dark, post-apocalyptic world of Katniss Everdeen and then jump right into “Catching Fire,” the second book in the trilogy, as soon as it comes out on September 1.”

Stephanie Meyer Reads Catching Fire
Meyer is also a fan of author Suzanne Collins’ work.
“I also got an early look at a book I’ve been eagerly awaiting: Catching Fire, the sequel to Suzanne Collins’ phenomenal The Hunger Games. It not only lived up to my high expectations, it surpassed them. It’s just as
exciting as The Hunger Games, but even more gut wrenching, because you already know these characters, you’ve already suffered with them. Suzanne takes the story places I wasn’t expecting, and she’s never
afraid to take it to very hard places. Stunning. You won’t sleep when you’re reading this one. It hits shelves September 1st.”
