I didn't really love Hunger Games as much as everybody else either; it's clear they are young adult books because there is very little character development. Wah wah.<br /><br />I also agree with you on RHOOC! I loved them until this season when it's all.about.fighting. Can't we all just get along?! <br /><br />:) Thanks for linking up, Vicki!Sarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06143301661837681057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-72562302106489609012012-07-19T15:03:04.234-04:002012-07-19T15:03:04.234-04:00Just started reading the second book today :)Just started reading the second book today :)Vicki @ lifeinmyemptynesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357792268386608831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-80470793011605426862012-07-19T15:02:17.785-04:002012-07-19T15:02:17.785-04:00Isn't the rain marvelous today!Isn't the rain marvelous today!Vicki @ lifeinmyemptynesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06357792268386608831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-74159289051952015352012-07-19T10:34:12.987-04:002012-07-19T10:34:12.987-04:00I am a Hunger Games fan, too!
