Snips & Specs: Suzanne Collins Announces New Series

If you loved The Hunger Games trilogy as much as I did, you're equally thrilled by this news.  Suzanne Collins is slated to start writing her new series after the screenplay for Mockingjay reaches completion, so it sounds like it's going to be quite some time before we're holding the new novel in our hands; but I for one am confident this book will be worth the wait!  

Anyone have any guesses what we're in for next?  Ms. Collins has stated in interviews that her inspiration for The Hunger Games came from watching reality TV and clips of the Vietnam War- what unusual combinations would you want to see? Animal husbandry meets cyborgs? Space exploration mashed with antebellum courtship rituals? Or will she follow J. K. Rowling and pull a total 180 with her next novel- set solidly in the here & now? 

Let the speculations flow!
