Progress: 8 down, 12 to go (NYE, 2nd batch) Which: The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins I read Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay (they’re hard to put down), but I’ll count them as 1 book (nerd). I really, really liked Games and I’m glad I entered the series without an inkling as to the plot. Mockingjay is a little frustrating (unearned turns of events), but overall it’s a good series. Not too fluffy without forgetting it’s about teenagers, either. That said, the concept is pretty twisted, some of the scenes more graphic than you’d think! Yes, the covers were a big part of my initial interest; they’re fantastic. Designed by Elizabeth B. Parisi and (husband) Tim O’Brien, they do a couple of things that I love in a book cover: they don’t picture any characters for you and the designs have meaning once you’ve begun to read. Love that. (I admit it, if [if? when…] those mockingjay pins were actual, I would totally throw one on my bag. Oh shut up. (: ) Edit! Thank you to Tiff for letting me borrow them!
