Wash ,'War Stories'
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."
So rather than wait for the library, I took advantage of Amazon's deals and bought the Hunger Games trilogy in hardcover JUST SO I COULD READ IT. And then I will give it to my friend for Christmas so she can read it and I can buy the books in paperback later. Hardback is pretty, but paperback is more portable and cheaper. Although these were just as cheap as the paperbacks. Still. I don't know. I like paperbacks.
Tonight, I begin!
woo! i look forward to hearing your thoughts!
P-C, be careful, you might not get any sleep tonight. I couldn't put them down once I started them.
I'm glad I didn't have them all at once because yeah. At least it wouldn't be as bad as the couple days I lost to Twilight. Last time I checked I was up to 6 in the holds queue for Mockingjay.
I've forced myself to take a break between books 2 and 3 ... besides, I decided Mockingjay wasn't something I wanted to read over Thanksgiving.
Oh! So I was complaining about the Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Next the other day (in Natter, I guess), and the good news is, 100+ pages in, stuff finally started happening. But not before several different history lessons!

Man, did he ever need an editor with a firmer hand. So much extra blah blah blah in those books.

He was dead before they were published so he wasn't really there to work on edits. I think they just took a flier and decided to run them as is.
Though he was very stubborn, and a long time established journalist so he might've resisted changes anyway.

Yeah, I think this would probably have been the case.
Excitement! I might be getting an e-reader for the winter holidays...i've been doing some research and am totally leaning towards the nook since my library supports it and i *heart* my library. Has anyone used the sharing feature?
