Okay, maybe this trilogy isn't for everyone, but everyone that I know who have read them have loved them, so why deprive yourself of something that good?
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is the first book in the trilogy. Catching Fire is the second book and Mockingjay is supposedly the last book. I read The Hunger Games like I was a blood thirsty vampire or a hummingbird sucking on nectar -- use whichever comparison you prefer. After I finished the first book, I immediately passed it along to my mother who called later to fuss at me, because she stayed up way past her bedtime reading that book to its end. She was then mad at the ending, because she didn't remember me telling her it was the first book in a triology.
Don't do like I did and read the summary before you read it .... else, you may be like me and say ... that's not something I want to read. I didn't read this book for almost a year after someone first recommended it ... it took another friend to recommend it and loan me her book before I agreed to read it.
I've been entertained ever since ... and lucky me ... I have the last book waiting on me! Crazy thing is ... I can't seem to bring myself to crack open its cover, because I know the end draws nigh .... and I don't want the story to end.
Such sweet sorrow!

Blankety blank blank
That is how I feel. Blankety blank blank. Not an unusal state of being for me lately, nor interesting or revealing :)
To be a little more revealing, I was super excited earlier this week, when I was listening to one of my favorite podcasters ... Matt Theriault (Your Do Over) guy (you can find him on ITUNES), and he told his listeners about how he had gotten some nice e-mail from his listeners, and guess who was mentioned by name! That's right, ME! I was so excited, I had to get out of my chair and go tell someone. Matt, who is based in California, didn't reveal to his listeners what I had discussed in my e-mail, but he touched on the topic that I had discussed in a general way, and that really excited me. I am continually amazed at how the internet can bring you into direct contact with people that you find engaging, and that you could then be mentioned in a podcast, which I guess I would liken to being discussed on the radio. I don't know why I thought that was cool, but I did. I guess, its simply because these podcasts are my daily salvation, in addition to God, who, by the way, helped me find a library book that was MIA this week. Thank you God, I didn't want to ruin my responsible reputation. Hmmm, I wonder what God likes to read. Have you ever wondered what mundane activities God enjoys?
See, this is the wandering thoughts of a blankety blank blank feeling person. Just in case you ever wondered that.
