So I read finished the Hunger Games trilogy...

...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. 

mockingjay, catching fire, books, the hunger games
