i'll be honest. the last two days of my life have been absolutely consumed with thoughts of the hunger games. i wasn't going to read the books - child slaughter isn't exactly my thing. but then... they decided to come out with a movie. and of course, my sister loves it and will be seeing it in just a couple hours. my husband loves it. and naturally, i'm more than a little intrigued by the trailer. so... i changed my mind.
yesterday, i started reading the book. within the first two chapters, i was already wiping my eyes dry. who can make a reader connect to their main character that quickly? i was completely drawn in. tonight, i have less than a fourth of the book left. but sleep calls. after all, i've spent my entire first day off this week devouring the book instead of sleeping, like i planned. now i'll be sleeping so i can justify eating up the last portion.
i really can't wait to see if the movie does the book justice. they never do completely {i'm biased that way}, but the previews at least seem enticing. here's to hoping we get tickets for saturday night.
my fingers are crossed.
and i think i'm going to go read one more chapter before bed....
goodnight!!
