The Hunger Games

Happy Monday, all!  I'm back at work (with some morning free-time!Woohoo!), and suffering through some lower back pain that I got when walking back to my car last night carrying my "weekend bag" while walking Cooper (and trying to keep him in check). It's gotten slightly better overnight but I still hit certain points where my body goes "OW OW OW!!!"

But, to distract myself from that and other things going on, I'm going to share with you my new-found love of the book The Hunger Games!

Holy crap! It was SOOOOO good! I had been being told about the book from several different people, and the more people who read it, the more people said how good it was. At first when my friend described what the book was about, I was like "really? That doesn't sound good at all." But, everyone praised it, so, on a trip to Target one weekend, I picked it up for something like 7 bucks and figured I'd give it a shot.

I started it last Thursday on the metro, and finished it Sunday. Given, it wasn't a hard read at all, but I was SO engaged with it that I just wanted to keep reading to find out what happens. Now I am trying to get my hands on Catching Fire, the 2nd book in the series, and am debating bumping that up in my queue of books to be read, since I am in love with the first book.

I won't try and explain to you what the book is about, because you will probably have the same reaction that MP did "Uhh, why would you want to read about THAT?" But, it's good. I promise.

Now I'm really looking forward to the movie coming out! And, have you all seen the new "motion poster" that Lionsgate did for the movie? Check it out here. (The music chosen with it is slightly creepy, too....as it's playing in the background while I write this! Eep!)

Alright, that's it for me! Hope you guys have a great Monday!
