This year really came through reading-wise. Initially, I didn't know what to expect. And I think I was a little surprised to find myself feeling a strong pull right from the beginning of the year to published books. I tried quite a few new-to-me authors with more abandon than I have in recent years—something I'm proud of and hope to continue. Not all of them worked in just an Angie-like way, but regret never entered the room. I passed them on. To the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood, to the used bookstore down the street that I love, to my own public library in donations. Someone will love them. It didn't have to be me. And I loved giving them that little push along their way to the homes of the people who would soak up their words and hold them tight. What a gift books are. How much I need them and how grateful I am at the end of this year for the ones that came and continued on their way—but most especially for the ones that came to stay. And so, as has long bee...
AAAAHH!! I'm so excited!!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW!
DeleteI avoided clicking on the trailer until now for the very reason you listed, Angie, but I just couldn't resist any longer. Trailer is awesome! Cannot wait. But we'll have to. *cries*
ReplyDeleteHehe. Sorry to push you over the edge, Wendy. It looks SO good. Why is November so far away?
DeleteI got chills watching that!!!
ReplyDeleteSo did I, Lin! I'm vibrating with excitement.
DeleteCatching Fire was my favorite of the books, so I am crazy-excited for this movie. And I'm so interested in the political stuff they're adding in to explain what's happening beyond Katniss' POV. Eeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a super middle book. I can't wait to see it all play out on the big screen.
Deletewhat! I hadn't even known this was out until this very moment. Wow. It looks even better than the first one and more true to the book. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt reduces me to a puddle of anxiety and excitement. Cannot wait.
DeleteNovember?! I thought it was going to be released in the summer for some reason. BLERG.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, GALE. Interesting that they left Finnick out of the trailer.
Ugh. Depressing, isn't it?
DeleteYeah, I was kind of waiting to see the other victors (ESPECIALLY Finnick), but I'm kind of glad they didn't show them so there's more to anticipate.
It's entirely too long to wait. It looks awesome and I got prouder chills seeing Katniss, Peers and Haymitch in front of the whipping post.
ReplyDeleteThe whipping post . . . *sob*
DeleteI <3 Haymitch. Seeing the three of them together does make me proud. Mockingjay is likely going to kill me.
Awesome trailer! I am so in love with it and it's gonna be great! I'm soooo excited. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely going to be great.
Deletethat was beyond awesome! and we didn't even see the arena. looks a little more gritty and a little more funded. (who wouldn't throw more money to their cash cow?) i was excited for november, but now i can't wait. i had goosebumps.
ReplyDeleteI know! It seems like they took stuff just from the first section of the film. Which was smart, I think. I'm still jumpy.
DeleteI can not stop watching this!
ReplyDeleteIt's addicting. I love Jennifer Lawrence. I'm so glad she's Katniss.
Deletedefinitely waiting!! I've heard this is good.
ReplyDeleteSO good.
DeleteI'm so excited for this! I really liked the first movie so I think the 2nd one will be just as good.
ReplyDeleteSo did I! I'm so excited.
