The staff of Mockingjay.net would like to wish the awesome Suzanne Collins a very happy and special birthday!

To the woman whose books quite literally have consumed nearly all of my free time for the last year, thank you so much for creating a female heroine that I gladly and wholeheartedly support. I wish I could bake you a Hunger Games cake, but my virtual wishes will have to do. Hope your day is amazing and special! –Crystal

Happy Birthday, Suzanne! No matter how in love I am with Tolkien, Lewis, and Rowling, it was The Hunger Games that motivated me to become part of an on-line fandom, where I have made so many new friends based solely on our love for your books. Not a day has passed in the last 52 weeks since I first read The Hunger Games trilogy that I have not thought about Katniss and her story. Thank you, and here’s to another amazing year! –Erin

Happy Birthday to the wonderful woman who brought us the world of Panem. Thank you for creating such great characters and getting people interested in reading again. The Hunger Games will go down in history, and it’s well deserved. I hope you have a great day and an even better year.  –Beth

Happy Birthday! Thank you for creating not just a fantastic world filled with wonderful characters, but something meaningful as well. It’s not often you can pick up a book and become so absorbed in the world, Panem feels like a living and breathing creation. Katniss is such a powerful female heroine and positive role model, and just like Erin The Hunger Games trilogy has me so hooked that I think about it every day. I love that everyone can take something different away from the story, and no matter how many times you read it each time you enjoy it more or pick up something that you didn’t before. Thank you from all of us, may the odds be ever in your favour for a magnificent birthday! –Tash

To a truly inspirational woman, thank you so much for creating a world which is not only tangible through the eyes of a true literary heroine, but also draws to attention the prevalent issues of the modern world. This trilogy really opened my eyes to a whole different perspective on life and brought me to be a part of this fantastic fandom. I’ve made so many friends through mutual love for your amazing stories, so I thank you not only for the books but for those friendships too. I think its safe to say that The Hunger Games has changed my life, along with many others. Best wishes on your special day! –Sarah

    Dear Suzanne,

    The best of birthday wishes to you. I would like to thank you for everything. With The Hunger Games, you have given me, and the world, so much. Not only have you given me an incredible story that like the others I think about every single day, a true role model (in Katniss) that inspires me to believe in myself, and a whole new perspective on our world and how we cannot stand by and let others suffer, but you have also given me this incredible fandom which to me is nothing leas than family. I love being a fan of THG and it is all thanks to you. Furthermore, you have given me hope as an aspiring writer that through my work I can change the world. You will never know how much this series gave me strength and something to hold onto when I desperately needed it. I’m not exaggerating when I say that THG changed my life. The least I can do is thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you have a wonderful birthday. You certainly deserve it.

    It’s today?!
    Best wishes for Suzanne Collins! And may the odds be ever in her truly favor. :)

    And also she wrote the most awesome trilogy ever. That no one has got it all. That war isn’t always the answer. That how Katniss could bring the meaning of humanity against system cruelty, against Capitol. That’s how I read the book, just my opinion.

    Is she has blog? So we can wish her happy birthday directly?

    Happy birthday Suzanne!!!! I didnt even know. :P Anyways, i have never fell in love with a book or series as much as I have the Hunger games. You have made katniss such a great female heroine. The Hunger games is all I’ve been reading for the past year. I’m not a writer or anything, I don’t really enjoy writing but o fond it absolutely amazing how one author can change the lives of soo many simply by her work of art. (psst that author is you.) ;) Anywho, thank you for an amazing trilogy, an exciting year, and may the odds be ever in your favor as all the followers and founders of Mockingjay.net wish you a Happy Birthday!!!! :D

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said. I never read books that weren’t required in school until I read the The Hunger Games. Your books have shown me a whole another side of literature that I didn’t know existed. Without thg I would have never been introduced to this MARVELous fandom they are like family. Like alot of people have said , there hasn’t been a day that I haven’t thought about thg after I read your books. Almost everything thing I see reminds me of it , these past two weeks the olympic games have been screaming HUNGER GAMES at me haha. Anyway thank you for writing this series, it will go down as one of the best of all time and again HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

    Happy birthday! I really don’t know what I would do without this amazing trilogy. This trilogy means so much more to me than just 3 books. I usually focus on the actors and the director but we all need to thank you for writing The Hunger Games in the first place! Thanks and happy birthday :)

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I would like to thank you for creating the books that first encouraged me to read for fun. Before reading the Hunger Games, I hated reading. But after a guy at the library ran up to me holding book one and saying I should read this, I read the first book that got me to like reading. Thank you.
