She actually attended one book signing after Catching Fire, and it was with a bunch of other authors at a little book store called Books of Wonder, and of all 5 authors there she got about 95 percent of the questions. And then she was about to explain a bit of the books to people, and instead asked “well who hasn’t read my books?” No one raised a hand, and when everyone audience realized it we clapped, while she looked as if she couldn’t believe it. Now this is only my opinion, but I think she seriously underestimates how popular the books are. And that signing was in the middle of a school week at night. I can already imagine how packed it will be in a school free afternoon in the middle august… Smh.

I agree with Laurarod… Besides the stamp isn’t new. She used a different stamp for each book from her Gregor series and then a different one for each of the HG books. And while I am completely grateful to have gotten that stamp and the quote she hand wrote, it wasn’t what I was used to from a book signing… I think that unless I have the day off, I won’t be taking the time off like I did last time…

@Abe – your argument is weak. We all read she has a hand strain, is that keeping her from doing a Q &A session? No. Would a strained hand prevent her from taking pictures, hmmm NO. Would her hand force her to hold only a one hour event for a book that thousands if not millions of fans have been dying to read? No. Suzanne Collins made no appearances for Catching Fire, and only 1 for Hunger Games. She is cashing in big time with these books, but isn’t interested in actually meeting her fans, this has been public knowledge for years. oh, and if you think she actually types her own work without an assistant you are even more naive then I originally thought. “Be happy she wrote the third book” ?? Are you for real??? This is her profession. She isn’t doing us favors! This is what she does, she writes – we read.

I’ll be done the book by then, since I’m getting it the day it comes out… plus I don’t even live in the U.S
CANADA FTW!

Does anyone know where/if you can buy a Mockingjay pin like the one on Katniss wears?

I totally agree with Leah. SC can’t sign books personally because she has hand strain. Probably due to all the writing/typing she’s been doing (what with Mockingjay and the HG screenplay). Be happy you even get a third book and get to see SC in the first place (that is if you’re going). I’d much rather get a copy of Mockingjay and see my fav author up close then getting her to personally sign it. (Especially if it puts her in pain. Do you know how many HG fans are going to be there? ALOT. She can’t type/write if her hand’s broken from all the signing) Quit whining.

Everyone getting mad about the stamp thing should know she has a hand injury and so can’t sign.
