Tome Thursday: Mockingjay

 

Hello everyone!

 

And just like that, as the Pokemon trainers say - we caught them all!

 

LOL.

 

I'm actually pretty pleased with myself about this given the fact that I would normally take much longer breaks between reading a series, and this one I practically breezed through for some reason.

 

I must have really enjoyed reading about this weird ass future then!

 

But they're all here now, all three books, and all four movies, and nothing has ever felt as good as finishing something up like this.

 

Besides, it's taken us long enough, given everything, considering it would be three weeks to get it all done and all written up. Now that it's over and done with I can figure out my next book to read that maybe ISN'T all about gladiator-style games while I'm at it.

 

Before any of that, however, it's time to head back to Panem one last time.

 

Mockingjay has arrived, people, and she's ready to fly.

 

Tome Thursday: The Hunger Games

 

Hello everyone!

 

I'm going to be throwing it back, way back, with the book I picked for tonight's blog post.

 

And by back I mean at least 10+ years.

 

Why, you ask?

 

I've no clue.

 

At one point a week ago I woke up and I wanted to go back and read this to see what it was about the book that I disliked the first time around when I picked it up. I distinctly remember saying at one point I prefer the Divergent series to this one, so apparently that's my next stop for comparison.

 

I'm guessing it has to do with the protagonist, but we'll see.

 

For the time being, our book of the night really doesn't need all that much introduction.

 

If you were ever interested in the Romans throwing their gladiator games, only they're organized with children this time, then The Hunger Games is the book for you.
