  3. Are these the UK dates? The Maze Runner is yet to be released or even advertised here yet in the cinema (I go a lot, I would have noticed as its currently on my 'to-read' pile) I'm really looking forward to the final installments of The Hunger Games trilogy, as I really loved the books! I'm also intrigued by Gone Girl, as I have the book on my shelf currently unused! Have you read If I Stay? The film adaptation has been released here and I only picked up the book last week!
