Well, I had an entry on RP, but once I wrote out my thoughts on everything, I came to the conclusion that it's really not that worth bitching about since it's my own sense of unimportance. So we shall go back to the meat of that post and move on.
I have Mockingjay, but I have no desire to speed-read it and will be taking it at my usual 50-pages per day style. Hunger Games has never been about the conclusion for me but the chance to see my favorite characters (which don't include Katniss and Gale btw) again. So I shall avoid all the posts by everyone who did move through the book like speeding train, akin to how my friends once read Deathly Hallows over the course of one day at Otakon. I want a chance to think about what I read and absorb it so that I can actually enjoy it, and I rarely get that out of speed-reading. In fact, I bet I would have enjoyed the final Harry Potter book more if I had not rushed through it.

I saw this "Mockingjay" book in droves when I was at Borders yesterday. I saw it both as a promoted book and in the YA section. Is it a YA book?

Mockingjay is the finale of The Hunger Games series, which is a YA dystopia novel similar to Battle Royale but not as graphic and more about the political fallout.

I'm still glad you got it for me.

I think I'll re-read both again, but save DH for later before the film release.
