I've got a poll!
I need a bit of help! Will you spare a minute or two to vote? If you're reading this at all, I'd seriously appreciate it. Just two quick clicks to answer two questions and you can be on your way!

You saw them on sale??? Ooooh. The word "sale" kinda makes me a sucker. I'm glad you were tempted, haha. I don't know if I have too much juice to make another pitch, but. The series is very enticing. It's some YA fiction but it's a bit more gory and brutal than most YA novels. I appreciated that, because it made the plot more realistic. Some parts were hard to follow because the author stays true to the character. As you read, you want things to happen but they don't. Why? Because the protagonist is merely a teenager and she's not perfect and she makes mistakes. REALISTIC. Also, I fell in love with Peeta very early on. The author paints characters in such a way that you grow attached to them pretty easily. An antagonist, President Snow, is someone I of course dislike, as he is a villain, but he's one of my favorite villains as favorite villains go. There's a lot of depth to him. Also, the book is pretty scifi - the idea that humanity screws up so majorly that a government has to take over, make districts, and force people to remember who's in control. Utopia/dystopia. Furthermore, 'll again emphasize realism... not everything is happy. It's not quite a "what can go wrong, will go wrong" scenario but things happened that made me mad and I loved that I got mad about it. The author kept it straight. OK RAMBLE OVER.
Also, insanely expensive class books... oy. I just spent $200 on textbooks for first quarter, which probably isn't that much but I also bought a few of them used. It's insane. I'm not spending $243 on a polisci book that I will never read again.
