The Underland Chronicles: Mini Challenge

After reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, I was blown away. I immediately read Catching Fire the minute it was released and soon started moping because the release date seemed so far away. Then Saph from the HGT forums recommended The Underland Chronicles to me, a series written by Collins before she wrote The Hunger Games. I soon read them and thought they were better than HGT.

So...back to the point.

I was thinking for the release of Mockingjay (August 24,2010), what's a better way to shed off the anticipation than to read the Underland Chronicles?

Before you yell at me:

These books SUCK!: Have you read them? O_O

No...but they're for a bunch of kids!: I'll be honest. The intended audience is kids BUT the books contain many mature themes. Genocide, war, propaganda, you name it.

I'm an HGT fan so I know I won't like this series.!: You should still give them a try. Many of the characters from HGT are similar to the ones in TUC (Luxa/Katniss,Ripred/Haymitch, Boots/Prim, Howard/Peeta).

So...what do I do?: The goal of this post is to try to get people to read the Underland Chronicles before the release of MOCKINGJAY. I like to call it "a mini-challenge." Yes, I know my blog doesn't get many hits. Still, it doesn't hurt to read the books.

If you want to demonstrate your TUC pride, add these buttons to your blog/site! Feel free to shrink them!
