Once upon a time, January came for us and proclaimed itself supremely uninterested in taking prisoners. Under the sustained assault, there were simply too many avenues of stress tearing into my brain. On one side of the field stood so many books (as they have always been there for me) ready to be read—to help. And on the other side loomed a distressing number of chasms inside me desperate to find solace and reprieve. But the two could not meet. No matter how many peace talks I attempted to broker. In February, in a move so unprecedented that I can only describe it as a lifeline thrown down into the deepest of the chasms, my exhausted mind decided it would be a good idea to finally give fanfiction a whirl. Now, there's no getting around the fact that for someone who has read as many novels that involve fic in some way or another as I have—seriously, novels that began as fic, novels written by authors who got their start writing fic, novels about characters who write/illustrate/love...
Oooh, great cover...but what does it all mean? Can we shamelessly read into the fact that the mockingjay is unfrozen & seems to be flying into action? Is something in the mockingjay's mouth?
ReplyDeleteLove the colors (nice reversal from the first book) & that the circle is segmented into 12 districts. I always figured Catching Fire would show Katniss & Co on the tour of other districts learning how the others live and finding pockets of rebellion....
YAY! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWonderings, I'll buy that. I like that it might be flying into action. And I'm definitely hoping for some fomenting of rebellion in this one!
ReplyDeleteJanssen, me either!
My daughter and I are both REALLY looking forward to this book. I have a feeling we're going to fight over who gets to read it first....
ReplyDeleteAny news on a release date?
Never mind. It's September 8, 2009. ;)
