The Cincy library does a program called On the Same Page (or something like that), in which people are encouraged to read the same book, and have discussions about it, etc. So to pimp that program, the library system has a ton of copies of the given books. Usually there is a YA book and an adult book, but last year for both groups it was The Hunger Games. So I'm guessing that simply based on the interest that program created, they'll need to have ordered a shitload of copies of Mockingjay.
(And I just wish I knew where I was on the waiting list!)
I bought my copy of
Mockingjay,
so it's in hand and I can read it!!
(but I won't as I'm in the middle of
Parrot and Olivier
and I'd like to finish that first -- see my self control?)
Your self control is stunning.
Just placed a big order with Amazon (dvds) and had to pick up a copy of Watership Down for my collection. I reread it four years ago after not reading it since 8th grade, and have been wanting to read it again.
Also looked to see if a romance series I've been reading for several years (Robin D. Owens Celta series) had its annual update yet, and since it was released a few weeks ago I was able to add it to my order. Yay! I don't read too many romances anymore, but Owens and Nora Roberts (just her trilogies/quartets) are always on my to-buy list, as is Loretta Chase (who publishes all too rarely).
Heh. I flew to Hawaii today for work, and was annoyed I couldn't read Mockingjay on the plane (left too early to buy a copy) so I stopped on my way to the hotel and bought it to read poolside. Just finished!! Will have to reread though, for more detail.
A little way in I was all "seriously? What?" and then it got better. And then it got worse. And them way better in the very hunger games fucked up way. I'm still not sure about the end of the ending (y'know, last page or so the stuff) but the main plottiness I was all "oooh".
Ack! Intrigued by taunty meara!
t checks library Web site
t is sad
Mockingjay left me really depressed. I didn't hate it though.
Taunty Rayne! The suspense is killing me!
Darn UPS. They left me a notice rather than a book.
