On Saturday, Trisha and I went to our local indie, Davis-Kidd Booksellers in Nashville, to hang out with a bunch of like-minded readers: kids who are obsessed with The Hunger Games.
Our clips from the event will crack you up—and remind you of why it’s so much fun to get excited about a book.
The release party in videos
Four fans gush about the series. All I can say is . . . thank goodness that pistol is fake! Otherwise, our young friend would have been in trouble when he claimed that his favorite character from the series is President Snow:
Davis-Kidd’s Mockingjay party had lots of appropriate programming, such as raiding a Cornucopia filled with snacks, Hunger Games buttons and fake bows-and-arrows that would make Katniss proud:
We formed an alliance (in Hunger Games parlance) with 9-year-old Darby to compete in a trivia match. Surprise, surprise. . . Darby knew way more answers than we did:
Watch more videos from the party on BookPage’s YouTube channel. If you live in Nashville, check out Davis-Kidd’s packed events calendar. September authors include Meghan McCain, Chelsea Handler and Rosanne Cash!
Did any readers of The Book Case go to a Mockingjay release party last week? We’d love to hear about it!

Hi everyone, – spotted your current web page unintentionally while searching around the net this afternoon, and glad that i did! I do like the design and colours, but I really should mention that I’m having problems when it loads. I’m using WaMCom 1.3 browser for mac, and the menu won’t align properly. i am sure I have made use of an equivalent design on a client’s online site, but the menu seems fine on mine. I think the mistake is at this end and just maybe today’s the day to swap!
Hey! Is it okay that I go a bit off topic? I am trying to view your site on my new iPhone but it doesn’t display properly, any suggestions? Cheers! Marcus
