Teppy, done. No worries about spoiling me. I'd rather know now on that one.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

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.

Eeee, Blameless was great! And oh, Lord Akeldama is now the potentate of the Shadow Council, and Biffy is a werewolf. ZOMG!

Just finished Mockingjay. Apparently I read the second book too long ago because there was a lot referenced to it that I was like, "What was up with the berries again?"
ooops.
I totally agree with you on the gratuitousness of some of the deaths. What the fuck? There is no place for hope or joy in Katniss's life. Ever. And when she made Gale a Go-fucking-kill-em-all soldier boy I just sort of stopped caring about the "tension" wrt the relationship. I like knowing how things ended, but I can't imagine liking the book on its own merits.

From the slate article this is so true:
Mockingjay sated me, but it didn't satisfy me.

She said she'll stop at five. We'll see. And she's planning a YA series set in the same world that, if I recall correctly, is in the past and focuses on Alexia's dad. Or something.
