I will be doing separate posts, in the not too distant future about what I got up too. Hopefully with lots of pictures, once I've sifted out my favourites!
One of the main things that took over my life over Easter was The Hunger Games!
I had bought the first book a couple of months ago, with the intention of 'trying it out'. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and was looking for something to fill the dark empty void left behind now it's all over.
After searching around on the internet 'The Hunger Games' kept popping up. Reviewers were telling me it was 'the new Harry Potter or Twilight' but I wasn't at all convinced by the synopsis:
" Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. But Katniss has been close to death before-and survival, for her, is second nature. The Hunger Games is a searing novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.Welcome to the deadliest reality TV show ever... "

Where are the wands? The magic? The sparkly Vampires?
So, like I said, I bought the first book to try out - and then did nothing with it!
A few weeks ago, in work, a 'book club' type catalogue was passed around, in it was The Hunger Games Trilogy, for £4.99! I couldn't not have them! For that price!? Again though, I did nothing about reading them.
Then, I went to see the film - and fell in love, instantly. As soon as I got back from the cinema, ignoring the fact it was almost midnight, I made a start on the first book... then the second... then the third. The next three days I read all three books.... two days later I was back in the cinema watching the film again, two days after that I had started on the books again!
So yeah, in 12 days I had seen the film twice and read all three books twice.
I think I'm now officially a fan girl!
Yay, go me!
