Today I am thankful for rain. We have been going and doing a lot this week and I have to say I am happy to have an excuse to just stay home. Not that it hasn't been a fun week - park on Tuesday, picnic on Wednesday, shopping with Granna and Chelsea on Thursday - but sometimes it's just nice to have a rainy, do nothing, kind of day.
And for an update:
Addy fell in the parking lot yesterday and scraped her knee and she is milking it for all its worth. You would think she has 3rd degree burns with as much complaining as she's doing. Drama Queen.
As of last night I am an owner of a smart phone. After researching every option possible, Garrett found a plan that is cheaper than what I was previously paying without Internet. So we made the switch and he spent last night trying to teach me how to use it - almost resulting in a divorce =) haha. Let's just say I am not patient AT ALL and learning new technology is not my strong suit. But hopefully I get the hang of it and don't hate the thing to death like I currently do.
I finished the 3rd book of The Hunger Games series last night. Very glad I decided to read these, but am happy to move on to something else now. I also did see the movie (by myself with only 2 other people in the entire theatre on a Thursday night as any cool person would do) and loved it. Expect me in line at Midnight with all the teeny boppers when Catching Fire comes out.
Here are my reviews:
Suzanne Collins, "The Hunger Games" A+
Suzanne Collins, "Catching Fire" A
Suzanne Collins, "Mockingjay" A-
They were all "A" quality for sure. As I was told, the first was the best. I really enjoyed the second as well, but probably not quite as much as the first. And the third took me longer to get to that "can't put it down" feeling and I was slightly disappointed with the ending, BUT still very good.
Now to decide what to read next...
Sincerely Yours,
I agree, the third book was a disappointment in the end. I felt like, "Really? After all that, this is how you are going to end?"
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the 2nd book equally as much as the 1st. Great series, but I did find many faults in the movie comparison. Although, unless I wanted to watch a 5-hour movie, I suppose there were parts that had to be cut. =)
I'm reading a new series, I'll let you know how it goes & if it's one that needs to be read. =)
I know! I really wanted a different ending for sure. I really liked how they did the movie. I knew there would be parts left out because as you said, it would be 5 hours long, and I think they cut the right things to make it work. Yes, definitely let me know on the new series. Unless it's the 50 Shades of Grey series - I hated those =)
