I’ve been putting it off forever (don’t ask me why, I have no excuse), but today I finally started reading The Hunger Games. Of course, it was brilliant and I’m already half way through Catching Fire. Which is also heart-stoppingly crazy. Seriously, why didn’t I read these books before?

It was a busy book week for me so that definitely warrants an IMM post! My birthday was yesterday so I managed to get a few extra books than I might of usually and without (technically) buying any from work. Okay, I ordered from the chapters website, as a treat to myself. Woops! I was […]

Let me start with… THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!! SSPPPOOOIIILLLEEERRRRSSSS! Alright, you’ve been warned! I’ve wanted to do this for while now, actually get to talk about the ins and outs of a specific title, rather than just review it. If you’re looking for a review, you can find mine here.
