;fsjfh I just finished
Catching Fire and ;____; Loved it. SO MUCH. :hug: Was reading until 3 am or so last night and first thing I did this morning was pick it up again and finish, haha. Damnit do I love Peeta. I really can't wait for
Mockingjay. I'm even considering buying the hard-cover version despite the fact that, like Estee, I normally
hate doing so >_>; But I don't know if I can manage to wait the ~3 weeks it will take for the paperback version to come out... ugh, decisions. xD
But Peeeeeeetaaaaaa~~~
[quote name='Rosemary' post='278197' date='Jul 20 2010, 03:09 PM']You know, I haven't really compared Battle Royale with The Hunger Games Trilogy in my head, despite the obvious similarities, I think they are quite different. *ponders* I love both for different reasons. I'm a Peeta fan too! :hug: How can you not just adore the guy? Sarah if you love him now, just wait until you read the second book - you'll love him even more! I'm so happy you read it! Now to get more people on board with this awesome trilogy.

Haha, I can see now what you're saying after having finished the 2nd book. To be honest, I liked it
tons better than the first one (which is weird cause of all the trilogies I've read I've never liked the one in the middle, so to-speak) but imo the writing style improved a lot with
Catching Fire (though not to say that it was anywhere near bad before!) and I find it's more difficult to compare to Battle Royale now, too. I think it's mostly because in the first book, there were some things I didn't like as much or that I felt that were.. missing (without spoilering anyone now) but that, for example, were covered in Battle Royale quite well which is (why I loved it so much, gahhh! Shuya~). But yeah, I'm not sure if I'm making sense >__>;; I don't want to post any unnecessary spoilers.
Rose, Shal, Daphne x3 We should make some Hunger Games session chat sometime hahah~

Shelfari account? I started using it this year to keep track of my books and it's pretty fun (and looks cute!). I have nearly no friends over there, so I was wondering...[/quote]
:hug:! I've never heard of Shelfari before but I agree that it looks really pretty and cute, so I'll probably sign up and add you then x3 So far I only had a goodreads.com account, but I find the set-up there so confusing at times (but then again, I only started using it recently..)
ETA; Aaand signed up! I'm
suzukaze. Only added the books I've read in the past couple of weeks (read: since vacation started) for now~ <3 Then maybe at least the ones I've read this year in total, too. :3 /hops off to fill shelf
