The world is exploding right now with The Hunger Games. Okay, maybe not the whole world, but definitely my corner of it. Have you read The Hunger Games trilogy? Suzanne Collins, the author of the series has written what are arguably some of the best novels ever written. If you haven’t read them, go do it now. I’ll wait.
Done? Good. That’s about how long it took me to devour the set.

I am no Katniss Everdeen.
This is the first time, maybe ever, I haven’t been disappointed in a movie adaptation of a favorite book. The movie was SO good and the 2 1/2 hours {seriously.} flew by so fast I was ready for the next one on the spot. That never happens. I’m all kinds of invested and dying a little that the next movie isn’t slated to come out until November 2013. I’m just not that patient.
I’ll spend the next FOREVER re-reading the original series, being grateful for the amazing heroine Katniss Everdeen, aka Jennifer Lawrence the most amazing actress on the big screen, and watching the masses argue about whether or not Liam Hemsworth,, *AHEM* Gale Hawthorne, should be Katniss’ one true love. I personally prefer Peeta, but that’s because …
Well.
