Is it weird that I can see Finnick, in Catching Fire, pulling a Glee on us and bursting out in song during the jabberjay scene? I think he’d sing Smooth Criminal. Especially because people already want Grant Gustin as Finnick, and he sang the exact song on Glee, so…
After all,”So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?”

I sincerely hope I wasn’t the only one who was reminded of one Rudy Steiner (The Book Thief) while reading The Hunger Games, when Peeta says, “Katniss? How about that kiss?” At least on my reread of it, I actually had to put it down so I could let a few tears out before I could continue to read. Plus, they both have blonde hair and blue eyes.
“How about that kiss?”

“Far below, I can just make out Finnick, struggling to hang on as three mutts tear at him.”
Me: Okay, Suzanne Collins, that's enough. Stop joking around.
"As one yanks back his head to take the death bite - "
Me: I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH.
"something bizarre happens. It's as if I'm Finnick, watching images of my life flash by. The mast of a boat, a silver parachute, Mags laughing, a pink sky, Beetee's trident, Annie in her wedding dress, waves breaking over rocks. Then it's over."
Me: ...okaaay then.
-after reading a few more pages, and realizing Finnick isn't there anymore-
Me: Wait...where's Finnick?
-flips back a few pages-
Me: THAT'S IT?!

Sister (who'd just finished The Hunger Games): I liked that it was set in the future, but they didn't have a lot of futuristic stuff.
Other sister (who read them awhile ago): Yeah, except in the Capitol they had a bunch of stuff.
Me: Yeah, like that 'hot chocolate', I mean, right?

Luna Lovegood: Don't worry, you're just as sane as I am.
Annie Cresta: ...
Finnick Odair: That's...comforting for her. I'm sure.
Mags had a daughter when she was very young and had to give her up for adoption. Her daughter was raped when she was 16 and ended up having a child. The baby grew up without a mother because she had died in childbirth. After Finnick went through the Games and won, he met Mags and became very close to her. Little did he know, he had the eyes of his mother, eyes that Mags knew very well. What she...

Annabeth Chase: Let me tell you something about Luke Castellan. We were best friends in camp. I know, right? It's so embarrassing. I don't even... Whatever. So then when I was twelve, I started hanging out with this guy Percy, who was totally gorgeous but then he almost got us both killed, and Luke was like, weirdly jealous of him. Like, if I would blow him off to hang out with Percy, he'd be like, "Why didn't you come back to sword-fighting?" And I'd be like, "Why are you so obsessed with me?" So then, for my birthday party, which was an all-cool-demigods pool-party, I was like, "Luke, I can't invite you, because I think you're evil." I mean I couldn't have an evil dude at my party. There were gonna be people there in their camp shirts. I mean, right? He was EVIL. So then his dad IM-ed my mom and started yelling at her, it was so retarded, because they're both on Mount Olympus and could've talked face to face. And then he betrayed the camp and Thalia because no one would talk to him, and he came back in a couple summers to murder us all, all of his normal-person traits were gone and he was being controlled by Kronos, and now I guess he's kind of dead.

Peeta: Why can't I be the Boy On Fire?
Finnick: Dude, get over it. At least you got a title. Really.
Peeta: You're the Boy With The Trident.
Finnick: That's stupid.
Peeta: Would you rather be the Boy Who Kissed Peeta?
Finnick: Would YOU rather be the Boy Who Died An Unexpected Death?
Mrs. Everdeen: Boys, boys, calm down. At least you got first names.

Sister: Yeah, I was so upset about Finnick dying...but I sort of understood why -
