Read read read!

The Hunger Games trilogy is a captivating tale, and after reading the first two books in 4 days I am eagerly anticipating the release of the third book, Mockingjay, on the 24th.

Conveniently, I work at a bookstore that’s hosting a book release party on the evening of the 23rd. Games, food, and me dressed up in a ridiculous costume -  all things to look forward to.  If you’re equally as hooked on this trilogy as I am, you’re more than welcome to come party it up with us.

Can’t wait!!!

And I sang along whole-heartedly every single time.  It’s such an amazing song, and such an amazing music video.  Swoon!

Don’t forget – Robots need love too!!
