It's the guilty party herself! ;D Thank you so much for getting me interested in this series. <3 I gave the book to Emma and she's already thanked me twice - which is cool, because we've never liked the same books before. I may even take us shopping at Hot Topic for some merch. ;)

And your Katniss costume ROCKS! :D

I was toying with the idea of reading it but I saw it was first person present, which I usually don't go for. Still, it's probably dumb of me to reject it on purely that principle. Maybe I will give it a shot

I usually like first person, but present tense does take some getting-used-to. It works really, REALLY well for the pacing of this story, though. :D

LOVE your icon!

Ok I just finished it. Definitely great, first book I've read in weeks that I actually liked all the way through, and i stopped noticing the present tense thing by like chapter 3. Now I need the sequel!

Yay!!! :D

I've ordered Catching Fire and Mockingjay from Amazon. My oldest daughter just finished Hunger Games and loved it, so we'll be wrestling for the sequel when it arrives, LOL.
