Tim just picked it up off the couch and asked, "Is this another one of the steampunk books?"
"Steampunk with werewolves and vampires and a soulless hotblooded lady who is married to a werewolf and she is inexplicably knocked up but allegedly shouldn't be and was therefore put out of the castle by her werewolf hubby for being a whooooooooooore and did I mention the awesome crossdressing inventor French lady?!?"
"...I may want to read that."

Oh, and he looked at the octopus on the spine of the book and asked, "There's no tentacle porn, is there?"
"How could there be room for it, after all of that, PLUS dirigibles?!?" exclaimed I.
I had a reference question chat about Mockingjay today (wanting to know how soon "on order" meant; answer, whenever they send it.) Thanks to you all I knew how important this question was!
The real reason I came to Literary was not to post about Blameless, but to echo what was in the header of the Slate discussion about the books: SRSLY, why
no sex in The Hunger Games? You have 24 hormonal teenagers who think they're ABOUT TO DIE.
I don't know why I didn't think of it before,
but come on. THERE WOULD BE FUCKING. And I don't just mean Katniss and Peeta (actually, Peeta always struck me as a little flabby and unappealing, and I don't know why, because obviously he was in decent enough shape to survive the damn first Games). I mean alla them teenagers.
Maybe not Rue.
(Edited to not spoil. Sorry!)

I'm only in the second book, but I have been thinking that too.
There's no sex in the 3rd book either? In the second book when they lie about the
pregnancy, I wondered for a second if there was sex and we just weren't told about it.
Ack, I should whitefont that. Sorry.
If I go back and whitefont it, sj, will you whitefont the relevant parts of yours?
Teppy, done. No worries about spoiling me. I'd rather know now on that one.
On page 196 of
Blameless.
Eeeee!
Is Soulless the first in a trilogy? Or the first in an on-going series?
Soulless
was
going to be the first in a trilogy, from what I understand. But I know that there's a 4th book in the works.
Steph, that is a very good point. Even if
Katniss doesn't want to have sex, a bunch of the other kids would be.
