Society Can Wait. I Have a Book to Read!

I planned on joining the rest of society again today.  You know, maybe playing with my kids, writing a meaningful new blog post, going to bed at a normal hour...that sort of thing.

But I can't.  The library actually had Catching Fire (book two in The Hunger Games series).

A little tattered and torn, maybe, but that's what I love about books.  No matter how ratty the cover, the words stay the same.

I read The Hunger Games in two sittings, finishing it late last night.  I was sorely disappointed that I would have to wait another twelve hours or so to get to the library (where I would likely find out it had been checked out anyway).  I figured I'd have to make a Barnes & Noble run.

I dragged the kids to the library this morning and made a beeline for the Young Adults section (I know, right?!).  And it was actually there...on the shelf...begging me to check it out.

And so, I'll start this book rather than attend to all those important things I had planned on doing today.  Like parenting.

Have you read The Hunger Games series?  I don't know why I held out for so long!

PS - I am totally kidding about the whole "I'm-not-parenting-today" thing.  I'll probably read this tonight.  When it's easier to not parent.
