Ok, as promised, I told you that I would post about my most recent obsession (have I mentioned I get pretty passionate about things/those that I love?!) – THE HUNGER GAMES!
To tell a quick, sidebar story about a previous obsession of mine – Twilight – I fell in love with Twilight a little later than the rest of the world (I exaggerate). My sister and I were talking one evening, never before having had a conversation about Twilight, and I said to her “Do you know what I predict I will soon read and become obsessed with? – Twilight”. Her response was “OMG I am halfway through the second book right now!” That was the first journey through a book series that I shared with my sister! (…cough…cough…i heart jacob black…cough…cough:) )

So the point of that sidebar was to tell you that my sister and I just finished another trek through a book series with Katniss in the Hunger Games. It was the quickest we have ever read 3 books in our lives! I loved sharing that with her. 🙂 If you haven’t yet read, you should!
The Hunger Games (and blogging) have been SUCH a stress relief for me! It’s so cool to be so completely absorbed in a story that you forget if it’s real or not real. 🙂 I’m not going to be a spoiler – because many of my dear friends who I think may be reading this entry – are just starting their journey with Katniss. I know they’ll love it as much as I do!
This brings me to my next point – immediately, I knew I wanted to reread the Games, so I decided to see if my husband’s arm could be twisted far enough to get him to read them with me… I didn’t have to twist far at all! And he has even agreed to take me to the midnight showing of the movie in March! It’s a win – win! It’s like our own little book club, and, honestly, it’s one of the most fun things that we have ever truly done together. He reads on the Kindle and I use my iPad, so we literally read right beside each other. 🙂
His image of Cinna you may ask? Our fabulous florist from our wedding:) He makes me laugh a ridiculous amount sometimes. And holy cow – tomorrow, we will be married for 7 months?! That hardly seems possible?! All things considered, my life is pretty fabulous – and he’s the best part <3 I’m so lucky.

Ok back to reality – until back to Panem with Ryan and Katniss later tonight. We’re heading into the arena. 🙂
