I didn't read any of her Kinley McGregor books yet. I'm just so fed up with anything medieval, particularly of the Irish/Scottish/Nordic kind. A book would have to be very, very well written to make me read it ^^;;

Actually, I haven't read a novel in German for ages. I don't even know which authors get translated these days and which don't. Also, another reason why I didn't read much YA back then was that usually the German editions of anything new are HC first and then they wait for the whole series to be translated until they publish the first paperback (I think they've yet to publish any of the Harry Potter novels in paperback). And of course I didn't have much money back then. And in the library, every new novel generally had a long waiting list. So I usually rather watched TV and spent much of my money on comics (I still think I have tons of Elfquest GN-like books somewhere ^^;;). The only books I rememeber reading back then which I would (and do, occassionally) re-read in German were the Tortall novels by Tamora Pierce.

Um... don't tell anyone but if you want to read the Hunger Games anyway, go to 4shared.com and insert Hunger Games into the search field. You should get a wide variety of PDFs, LIT and TXT-files. But don't tell anyone (the last thing anyone needs are DMCA guys finding out about this method of getting books the cheapest way) ;) (but I still bought most of my books!)

Hahaha. I did enjoy Karen Marie Moning's books, even if she definitely falls under the abovementioned medival Irish/Scottish/Nordic variety.

Took your, ahem, advise about Hunger Games. Hee. Don't tell anyone though. ^_^
