Mockingjay is here!!

By
Ok, so Mockingjay showed up today. It was sitting by my door when I got home. I was torn. I hadn't quite finished The Hunger Games on audio yet. I'd originally downloaded it when I thought my copy wouldn't show up til Aug 31, and I would have time to listen to it and read Catching Fire. However, now that I have Mockingjay in my posession I really want to read it. But I think I've decided to be good and follow through on the original plan. I finished Hunger Games tonight, and started Catching Fire. I know that I could probably just pick up Mockingjay and be ok, but I've only read the others once, and I'd forgotten quite a few details of Hunger Games. I think in the end I'll be glad I reread them both, but until then I may have to put Mockingjay back in the box and put it away until I can tear through the rest of Catching Fire! Because right now it is sitting on the arm of my couch staring at me. I never should have opened that box!!

    I actually picked up The Hunger Games because it's on our list of titles for our apocalypse-themed common experience project, but now I have to finish the series. I've been trying to find Catching Fire at our local bookstores without success. Apparently they don't think the college kids don't read these. Pretty soon I'm going to have to break down and buy it online.

    I know how you feel to a lesser degree. When I got my copy of Mockingjay I was about 1/3 of the way through re-reading Catching Fire. Even that much was hard for me to decide to wait until I'd finished. I'm still not done with Mockingjay though. I've just been too busy!

    And I loved the books just as much, if not more, the second time around.

April weekends

By
I just solidified plans for this weekend today when it hit me: my April weekends are all over the place, and well so very me. Keeping with my new reality of being around Dubuque much more often than I have in the past, I'll be here for 3 of the 4 weekends. Ok, and by here I mean mostly here. I'll explain below. April 6-7 Julien Dubuque International Film Festival --I went to the festival last year with Gretchen. We had so much fun! We ended up seeing a different set of films than we originally thought, but it was still a blast. I was lucky enough to attend the Beloit International Film Festival with Kyle and his family last month, and this year he's coming down to spend the weekend watching films with me. Plus Nicole will be around for the weekend so she's coming along too! April 13-14 Twins game with Amy--We've got tickets to the Twins-Mets game on Sunday so I'll be driving back up to The Cities (I was just there over St. Patrick's Day weekend). I have...

About me

By
I feel like it's only fair I do a little bit of an intro for my new BEDA buddies: Christina , Autumn , and Nicola . For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, a bunch (read over 200) of us participating in Blog Every Day in April signed up to have Maureen Johnson (the Churchill of BEDA as Alex Day called her) to match us up with BEDA buddies for moral support for the rest of the month. What we do with these buddies is up to us. I'm not quite sure yet what we'll do, if anything other than comment on each other's blogs. But I feel like I do the least on my blog to give an idea of who I am. So this post is hoping to rectify that. So here goes! I'm a midwestern born and bred. At 24, I've never lived more than 200 miles (a 3 hour drive) from the city I was born in. However, my parents threw us in the van and took us on driving vacations all over the country, where I fell in love with history and roadtrips. These two loves served me well in colleg...

Booklist

By
I found this in my RSS feed this morning and thought it was a nice way to start the day. It is a list created by the National Endowment for the Arts, and a blogger writes that they claim most American adults have read only six of these hundred books. I've read 23, but about half have been for school; however, some of those I chose to read for a class assignment. :) Here’s what you do: 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. (Or in my case turn them green.) 4) Reprint this list on your own blog. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling 5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee 6 The Bible (um, how many people have actually sat down to read the Bible? Like, straight through? I'm counting it because I read at least a chapter every night.) 7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte (I own it, but haven't read ...
