It may have something to do with market saturation. Last week was Banned Books Week, and I put the books from the Hunger Games series into my annual display of banned and/or challenged books. Naturally, once the kids had been told that Somebody didn't want them to read all these books, they flew off the shelves. I wound up with more requests for two series (Harry Potter and the Hunger Games) than I had available books, so I went to the book trading website I use to order more. There are over 120 copies of The Hunger Games available, so I was easily able to order the extra copies the library needed, but there's a long waiting list for both Catching Fire and Mockingjay.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
