...in about 36 hours.
I think I have a headache. I couldn't put it down. I had to force myself to go to sleep last night since I finished book 1 so late. Even then, I think I read about 2 chapters of Catching Fire because I was so crazed at how the first book ended.
I have feelings. Way too many feelings. Katniss. Peeta. Prim. Rue. Cinna. Finnick. Haymitch. Gale. Katniss' mother.
TEAM PEETA. I scream this from the rooftops. Most of you know how I ship. I can see your smiles and how you're wholly not surprised at my devotion, lol.
The climaxes of each book basically put me into a tailspin. Mockingjay has kind of put me in some sort of euphorpic, yet depressive funk. I figure with the nature of all the death and war that these books have, my reaction is probably the normal one to have.
I think Catching Fire is my favorite due to my Team PEETA-NESS, but that's really the only reason. What seems to resonate so fully with me is all the deaths. Intellectually, I knew that the way the books were shaping up, I should have expected characters I love to bite the dust. But the way it all happened, especially the ones in Mockingjay, just left me numb. I didn't cry, which shocked me because I'm such a sap, but I just felt this low simmering rage rather than sadness as each death happened. I feel a little crazy saying that, but as I stated, the series gave me feelings.
I like the series. I like it a lot, but I don't know if I can say I love it. I didn't finish the series with the same sort of euphoric love I had for Divergent. Yet, I feel very strongly about the series. I don't think I'm making much sense. I need to discuss with someone! So if any of you are up for it, please come discuss with me! Feelings need to be expressed. Although right now, it's a lot of nearly speechless mutterings.
I think I need some Nora or Kleypas to calm me down. Ha.
