I’d like to invite you all to discuss Dystopian Fiction with me next week while we all anxiously await the release of Suzanne Collins’ Mockingjay on August 24th when the whole world stops working, feeding their kids, or getting out of their pajamas while they read the exciting and epic end to one really awesome series of books.
The schedule for Hot Dystopian Summer Nights is as follows:
August 23: What is dystopian fiction?
A post dedicated to defining the concept: What is dystopian fiction?
August 24: There is something romantic about survival.
Why do we like dystopian fiction?
August 25: How to torture your characters
How to write dystopian fiction.
August 26: There is something inspiring about survival.
Why is dystopian fiction important?
August 27: What flavor is your dystopia?
Pick a flavor, any flavor.
Hot Dystopian Summer Nights continues the next week starting August 30th with discussions and reviews of Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, followed by reviews of really great dystopian stories pulled from the list posted on August 27th. I will also have a Spoiler post on August 30th in which I will post a spoiler review of Mockingjay and all spoiler comments and discussions can go there. We don’t want to ruin anyone’s enjoyment of the book!
Come stop by, tell your friends, and definitely stick around to comment! It’s not a discussion if I’m the only one talking. (I just look like a know-it-all with no friends.)
I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of Mockingjay.
