Do Yourself A Favor: Don't Read Catching Fire! (UPDATED)
6:06 AM
 (Image from Barnes & Noble)
 (Image from Barnes & Noble)Avoid Catching Fire? Are you kidding? It's the hottest book in town. Everyone's reading it. Yes, yes, I know. But, really, you shouldn't. Why not, you ask? Is it:
Boring? No, not for minute.
Predictable? Not at all.
Disappointing? Uh uh. In fact, in some ways, I liked this one better than The Hunger Games
Oooookay, so why shouldn't I read it? I'm actually not suggesting you never read it. I'm suggesting you might want to wait until next year when you've got the final Hunger Games book in your hot little hands. Why? 'Cause once you finish Catching Fire - you know, once you're breathing again - you're not going to want to wait for the rest of the story. You're going to want the conclusion right away. Not a year from now. *Sigh* Another year? Why didn't someone warn me?Grade: A
If this were a movie, it would be rated: PG for violence

In my excitement over Catching Fire, I somehow forgot to mention Michelle's awesomeness. I don't know if she designed these buttons herself or what, but aren't they fun? It made me laugh, especially since Laura mentioned how much the Gale-Katniss-Peeta thing reminded her of a certain vampire-teenage girl-werewolf triangle. If you want to show your love, click here and steal some buttons for yourself. Click around while you're there - she's up for a BBAW nomination, and would no doubt appreciate your vote.
BTW: I vote Gale. I also vote Edward. What does that say about me? Hmmm ...
