The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins took 3rd place in Teen.com‘s reader poll of the Best book Series of All Time, bested only by Harry Potter and The Mortal Instruments! See the full list below. How many of these series have you read?

1. Harry Potter *THE WINNER* 2.
The Mortal Instruments
3. The Hunger Games

Even though the first book came out in 2008, all three books of The Hunger Games trilogy have remained on bestseller lists throughout 2012.

But at No. 2, thanks to Hollywood, is The Hunger Games, the first book in Collins’ trilogy — four years after it was published. It got a big boost from the hit movie, starring Jennifer Lawrence, released in March. James’ other books are Nos. 3 and 4, followed by Collins at Nos. 5 and 6 for the year.

Holy beautiful books!! The ABC Shop in Australia is selling luxury paperback editions of The Hunger Games trilogy, with metallic logos and  gilded-edges to match the color of the logos. Here’s a picture of the books found on Tumblr:

And another from KIWIreviews:

 I wish these were sold in the US! Right now you can buy them from The ABC Shop for $24.99 each, but international shipping would be about $27. So you’d basically be paying for four books instead of three. But it might just be worth it, since these books are so incredibly beautiful! Will you be buying the luxury editions? They might make a good Christmas present!

Wow this is BIG !  Amazon’s latest reports indicate that the Hunger Games has surpassed the Harry Potter series in company sales.

According to The NY Times :

Katniss Everdeen has triumphed over the boy wizard, Amazon announced on Friday, as the company’s sales of the “Hunger Games” trilogy have overtaken those of the Harry Potter series.

Sara Nelson, the editorial director of books and Kindle at Amazon, said in a statement that since the debut of “The Hunger Games” in 2008, the series has “taken the world by storm, much as Harry Potter did a decade before.”

“Interestingly, this series is only three books versus Harry Potter’s seven, and to achieve this result in just four years is a great testament to both the popularity of the work and, we think, the growth in reading digitally during that time,” she said.

The sales include print and e-book formats, making the “Hunger Games” trilogy Amazon’s best-selling series.

Sarah Gelman, a spokeswoman for Amazon, declined to produce specific sales figures. Kyle Good, a spokeswoman for Scholastic, the publisher of both series, said that Scholastic has 150 million copies of the Harry Potter series and more than 50 million copies of the “Hunger Games” series in print in the United States.

The “Hunger Games” trilogy by Suzanne Collins, the story of a postapocalyptic world in which children are sent to fight each other to the death, has been a huge seller in e-book format and has crossed over from a teenage audience to reach millions of adults. The Harry Potter series was unavailable for sale in e-book until March.
