I was at one of the local libraries last week, and spotted a copy of THE HUNGER GAMES in a young adult shelf. I was surprised to find it with all the older books, when everyone is buzzing about the trilogy and the recent release of the final volume MOCKINGJAY. I guess the librarians over here are not so up to date with the publishing world's buzzed about books.
I checked the copy out, hoping to love it as much as everyone else, and I read about a hundred pages before closing the book and deciding to order the three books. I just knew, from those first 100 pages, that THE HUNGER GAMES would be the kind of story I'd want to own (and re-read later). And, so, using the last of my Barnes & Noble gift card, I ordered a boxed set of the trilogy. If you don't already have them, here's a link where you can buy it 40% off.
After a week (much longer than the promised 3 days, but whatever), I opened my door to see a box lying on the floor! And my trilogy was in there. Hardcovers! In a super cute box!
I'm super excited about this, because I finally get to catch up with everyone else. And I'll finally be able to read all the spoilery reviews on my favorite publishing people's websites! And for a spoiler slut, it's been so hard to fight off temptation!
Time for some reading now!
