I'm still surprised it's considered young adult. I didn't find that classification on the title page and my library has it in the sf section.

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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm not sure where they have it in my town's library, actually. That is a scary scary place which I try not to venture to too often! All I know is that my town library only has one copy and it's on hold for the next fifty thousand years, according to their website.

I loved Hunger Games and I tore through Catching Fire. Now I'm 142nd in line for Mockingjay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just finished Mockingjay. I think one of my future pieces of electronics will be named Everdeen. I really enjoyed the trilogy. Appealingly flawed protagonist. Terrible terrible world.

Because books.
Good god, I still have to read Catching Fire. You blew right through those, huh?

I read the first two in a day each. Migraines got in the way of Mockingjay, but I felt quite unlike myself, getting through them. I have a weakness for the trope, methinks.

Oh, me too. Very much so. The first YA series I wrote was a post-apocalyptic thing.
And Katniss is just awesome, at least in the first book. Completely breaking the read-my-own-books thing (which I could stand to start way before January, no matter what megan says), I ordered Catching Fire yesterday because I'm dying to get back to the series.

I am on the lib list for a copy of a re-release of Patricia Briggs' duo. Masques and Wolfsbane. I got the graphic novel prequel to the Mercy Thompson series, and thought it was fine (although Stefan esp. was NOTHING like my visual image of him, and Mercy's boobs were much bigger in comic than the books.)

Maybe they were really the same size as in the books, but the illustrations from the comic were of the glamor she projected.
I mean if ever an author's literary style was born to attract fan-wanking, LKH ....
