He sure looks like Peeta does in my head. Of all the actresses wikipedia says have expressed an interest in playing Katniss, Kaya is definitely my favorite, but she's the only one I've seen act.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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."

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

I don't know if this is a question for here or Technology, but which e-readers, if any, let you check books out from the library?
And which ones have borrow/lend/trade options?

If you want to do both, I think the Nook is it. The Sony and Kobo readers should let you check out books (they support Adobe DRM), but unless you want some specialized features of the Sony ones I think the Nook is clearly the best choice.

Our wings are not tired.
And the Kindle has announced that the lending feature will be available "soon".

It would be nice if the Kindle supported Adobe Digital Editions. I suppose that would open up the ability to buy books from other places, but I'd bet that would lose them hardly any business.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And the Kindle has announced that the lending feature will be available "soon".
Was that lending between Kindles or lending from the library or both?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
just finished listening to _Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter_ and was surprised at how much i enjoyed what i picked up on a lark as something fluffy to distract me while commuting. It does very interesting things with certain historical realities (like the lost colony at Roanoke) and spins the whole civil war as an OMG OF COURSE *headsmack* kinda situation.

and Zuisa, if you want a spoiler mockingjay does eventually end with Peeta and Katniss living happily ever after, well, as much as is possible in that world. While the final book is indeed bleak bleak bleak it does end with hope.

ita, I think it's just lending between Kindles.
