Good god, I still have to read Catching Fire. You blew right through those, huh?
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

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."

Because books.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
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 ....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
This is the one I'd want on a t-shirt.
JZ would pop for this.
Though she might prefer the classic Penguin design.

I'm glad Lolita comes in a baby tee.
