So Friday for my birthday The Man took me to FINALLY see The
Hunger Games. It was playing at the drive-in nearby, and since I’m literally
The Girl On Fire, I was happy we could sit in the car with the A/C blasting my
feet.
The obsessed fan that I am, I wore this T-shirt:
Under a sweatshirt with the same saying. I’m pretty sure all
those teens in tank tops were jealous of how cool I looked. I’m pretty sure
that’s what their stares meant.
Pretty sure.
So without spending six pages explaining my thoughts on the
movie I’ll just say three things:
- I really, really liked it.
- I still couldn’t help but think how the book was so much better. It’s understandable that A LOT has to be cut for film, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t miss some details.*
- Still, I thought it was great.
Right, so enough Hunger Games gushing. We have business to
attend to. Friends, what are your suggestions for the May YA book club?
I’m looking to you for help. I know there are some
pretty awesome sequels coming out at the end of this month, but let’s stick
with stand-alone books** so the maximum number of readers can enjoy the book club.

Hit me: What do you want to read?
*Though it’s been way too long since I read the books, which I plan on doing before I see the movie again. I might be crazy, but I thought Peeta was tougher in the book for some reason...
**One day we’ll read a sequel to a book club book, but today
is not that day. Mainly because there are no sequels to the books we’ve read…yet.
***Am I the only one who thinks of Uncle Jesse every single
time she hears this word?
