Scholastic announced today that the third, still-untitled book in Suzanne Collins’ massively popular futuristic The Hunger Games trilogy will be released in English worldwide on August 24, 2010.
Stephen King and Twilight‘s Stephanie Meyer have both expressed their admiration for the series, whose most recent installment was September 2009′s Catching Fire.
Great! I have The Hunger Games and Catching Fire sitting on my shelf waiting for me to finish Dark Tower, so now I know I don’t have to wait too long once I read those. Unlike A Song of Ice & Fire which it may be another 10 years before book 5 comes out.
That’s not soon enought!!! Catching Fire was such a cliff hanger.
i know what you meam i lovwd both of the books and i can’t wait till the thered book it will be agony till it comes!!!!!
I love this series! Can’t wait for the third installment!
C’mon, EW. You write about Twilight every day, and you still can’t spell the author’s name correctly? S-t-e-p-h-e-n-i-e
Coool NEWS, I can´t wait for the third part, let´s hope the movie will be at least as awesome as the books
)
OMG that’s so long from now. But I’m nonetheless excited!
I’ll bet Stephenie Meyer wonders why people still misspell her name so many years after hitting the scene.
who cares what meyer thinks? who cares about her name?
Good journalists care.
That’s so far away!
I don’t care that these books are labeled YA reading. These books are amazing and I can hardly wait for book 3.
ITA!! Very addicting reading.
This series is amazing. Far, far better than the dull, lifeless Twilight Saga. Great news!
Yeah! Just read both The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. What a great series!
Awesome. I love that series!
We have to wait until August for the book… nooooooo!!!
By the way, apparently EW can’t mention any other book without throwing in a Twilight reference.
Whoooooooooooooo!!! This completely made my day, though I agree that August is way too far away.
I am so excited for book three, and I trust that Suzanne Collins will do a good job with it! I am also pumped for the future movie!
