I had dinner at a lovely restaurant last night with Katniss and Peeta. They weren't invited, but they came anyway. I was so worried about how they would make it out of the arena alive that I couldn't focus on anything my husband was saying.
Our friends Jackie and Dimitry chatted about the new baby they ware expecting. "What name do you like better- Kira or Sasha?" they asked. Have you considered Katniss? "We hope it's a girl so Nika can have a sister," Jackie added. Just be happy they'll never have to go to a reaping.
Kudos to Suzanne Collins for commandeering my entire evening It takes talent to do that!

It was like that for me too when I read it. That's why I loved it. Same thing happened when reading Unwind by Neal Shusterman.
Okay, Corey. This made me snort with laughter!! Because I can totally relate!
These books totally captivated me...and I didn't expect it!
(Though I don't think I'd name a kid Katniss.....)

Yes, same with me! I had 15 pages left to go after taking a flight home this past August. I decided I couldn't wait so instead of going home to eat dinner with my family, I went to a cafe at the airport and dined with Katniss and Peeta. It had been a long time since a book had sucked me in to that degree.
I then inhaled Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Only after I finished both could normal life resume
Yep! That's how I was when I read it, too! :-)
So funny! Don't you just love it when you get roped in like that. :)
I'm just glad I read this series BEFORE the Thanksgiving holiday, or I'm afraid everyone would be going hungry. LOL!
LOL!
I read the first two in 3-4 days. That was about a month before MOCKINGJAY was released. That was the longest month of my life.
I'm listening to MOCKINGJAY in my car right now. I just finished the first two within the last couple of weeks. So, yeah. I'm hooked.
I actually cried when I went to vote last week because I'd been listening to CATCHING FIRE. I saw all the people with their signs--peacefully hawking their candidate--and it just did me in. I know. I'm a GOOBER!!!
