During the phenomenon that is Harry Potter, I wasn’t inclined to line up and get a new release straight from the press. Neither am I one to queue at movies, desperate to see a blockbuster on the very first night of screening. Although I have been known to become overly-needy for the next episode of a television show, there’s something in my nature that loves the thrill of anticipation.
Perhaps that’s too much information about me?
The release of Mockingjay is imminent. The third and final novel in Suzanne Collins’s ‘The Hunger Games’ trilogy is about to hit the arena, be shelved at Cornucopia, and only the fastest and strongest Tribute will be able to procure their copy.
For those not yet embroiled in the magic of ‘The Hunger Games’, it’s a fabulous read. Pitched at the ‘young adult’ audience, there’s enough character development and social commentary to keep everyone involved (and the obligatory, angsty, sensual teenaged love triangle to boot!)
I won’t be able to ‘get’ Mockingjay today. Probably not even tomorrow or by the weekend, but rest assured. As soon as it’s in my sweaty palms, I’ll be back to imagining myself as Katniss (because she really does rock) and will find anything around the home to use as a pointy weapon — so watch out!
Here’s a clip of Suzanne Collins reading the first chapter of Mockingjay. There’s a whole lot to like about Suzie. My favourite thing is that she puts on her glasses before launching into the story. Thanks to wrldpossiblity and The Mockingjay for the link.
A final word: this is a chapter reading, so it will spoil you if you listen. Be aware (coz the world needs more wares) that there are full descriptions of the book and its outcome in many of the reviews. Stay away if you don’t want to know. Also, friends don’t spoil other friends (apparently, *g*)

The Adult Night is really gaining popularity, isn't it? I hope all is well in your part of town, love? I must get you hooked on The Hunger Games, if only to get your mind free of adult night insatiables. *waves*
Adult night is a pretend night of adult activities, lady. There is only one attendee so far, which is lucky because it could get quite obscene. We don't dally in those types of things, eh? lol. Squirtbaby just told me that she really felt like a (quote) Adult Night. LOL

Still haven't read the other books, they're in my queue at the library, so no spoilers por moi! Enjoy the sweaty palming of your new booky when you get it.
Hey you. Very cold down here so no sweaty palms. Can't wait to get reading, tho. Hope you enjoy them when you get them, and that the week is progressing well. Wed night here! x
Given the way you devour TV shows on the day they air like the rest of us, I'm not comprehending your show of restraint when it comes to Mockingjay.
But then again, I was the one pre-ordering my HP books, too. But you'll be proud of me, because I'm forcing myself to read M slowly. I'm exactly 1/4 of the way through…and I could be finished by now. I'm quite proud of myself!
Hey you! Hope all is well.
Given the way you devour TV shows on the day they air like the rest of us, I'm not comprehending your show of restraint when it comes to Mockingjay.
I KNOW! What's that about, hon? Analyze, me, ploise. In fact, I have NO restraint with telly shows, ffs.
Hope that the first quarter has been good, but Amy, I'm ready to DEVOUR. You are being so strong, and I hope the other avid readers at your place are also being patient. x
I made them get their own copies!
