So I finally caved and asked for a Kindle for my birthday, despite my dream of having a very large library and my kicking and screaming my husband got me a Kindle Fire. And despite my previous reservations with the electronic reader I actually kind of love it. My advice to new mothers especially if breast feeding is to buy one of these. I can read while feeding Riley and I can even get on the internet.
The first book that I decided to read was of course the Hunger Games. There is so much hype going on with this book and I could borrow the book without actually paying for it. I didn't want to pay for a book that was possibly like the Twilight books, sorry for all you Twilight lovers out there. I LOVED the book. As my cousin Christine put it "I am pissed I am out here hanging out with the family rather than in the bedroom finishing that book!" I completely agree, my 15 minute breastmilk pumping breaks at work have become much more enjoyable for me and I can't help but want to sneak in a couple more minutes just to get as far as possible in the book. The book captured me and kind of disgusted me at the same time but I couldn't put it down. And finally the time has come where I can finally borrow the second book for free on my Kindle on the 1st and believe me as soon as I can I will, I can't wait to see what happens with Katniss and Gale and Peeta in the crazy love triangle and what the Capitol will do to her, oh man so many possibilities!
I guess my raving about the book was convincing enough for my husband to be curious, since he doesn't read many fiction novels, that he wanted to go see the movie on his birthday. We went last night and although I liked the book more than the movie, as usual, the movie was still pretty great. I loved hearing all the girls giggling and some of the girls behind us kept saying "ugh how come they left that part out!" It was pretty funny to listen to. So my review of the second book will be coming as soon as I get my hands on it, I have no doubts that it will be as great as the first!
