Hi all,
Just wanted to update you all on Catching Fire, the sequel to Hunger Games. It looks like I'm in for another adventure. The story begins with Katniss finding out that all is not perfect in her cushy new life. She is about to embark on a journey to make things right, but she is extremely conflicted about it. In addition, she's having a little PTSD with her memories of the HG. I'm wondering if she will do something to forever change the state of affairs- but there is a sequel, so I'm not sure how much. Anyways, I'm about 60 pages in and already on board. Collins' descriptions of setting and characters are so amazing. It is so easy to picture everything. I even find myself going back and reading again and finding more I missed.
Next I'm onto Shiver and Laurie Halse Anderson's Chains.

Hey Sally,
Have you read Laurie's novel "Wintergirls"? It is very well written, and one of the few YA novels to make me cry. The subject really hit home with me, and I know it will do the same with many girls in high school.
