I apologize, and you can delete this comment if you'd like.<br /><br />I saw on Robin Brande's Twitter that you hosted a read-a-thon, and I'm wondering the specifics of this event. Would you be willing to e-mail me what this event entailed, and what sort of planning it involved?<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br />bookblogger22@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613703338270165488.post-63575169117694174962010-08-09T11:55:12.809-04:002010-08-09T11:55:12.809-04:00I love this series!

Why hate him and not Katniss? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613703338270165488.post-79549280554915605942010-07-31T23:10:46.486-04:002010-07-31T23:10:46.486-04:00Mwahahaha! I AM a teenager and DID read Catching F...Mwahahaha! I AM a teenager and DID read Catching Fire in one night! Oh. =) <br /><br />Suzanne Collins is absolutely amazing. I never saw anything coming. When they announced the theme of the Quarter Quell, I definitely felt Katniss's pain. To go through that kind of horror once is awful. But twice? Unliveable. <br /><br />Katniss was a bit dense, but still a lot smarter than other supposed 'heroines' I've seen. She's strong and determined, and I admire that. I actually think she should be with Peeta. Normally I end up rooting for the underdog - and LOSING. What is up with that?! The underdog is supposed to WIN, people! Did you MISS the memo? But in this one, I'm not. I'm all Peeta. Gale could easily find someone else. Peeta, on the other hand, is alone. And didn't Collins hint at the Mayor's daughter having a crush on Gale or something like that? <br /><br />And Haymitch...ah, Haymitch. Just because he is essential to the rebellion and Katniss and Peeta's survival in both games doesn't mean I have to like him. He's still an a-hole. I'll give him recognition, but not respect. <br /><br />In the end, I came to the same conclusion. Peeta as the leader of a new world with his persuasiveness. Katniss by his side, a warrior with common sense and enough defiance to rally the troops. So, in short, Peeta has to be alive. If he isn't, and they don't get together, I might just stop reading books. I hardly ever win. =( <br /><br />In other news, they're selling Hunger Games shirts at Hot Topic now. Random fun fact. =)Danielle Raymondnoreply@blogger.com
