Mmmm... pudding...

I just made the easiest bread pudding ever... then it turned out it was also among the best I'd ever tasted... can't let that recipe go unshared! Would be a great one to bring to potlucks...

Finished CATCHING FIRE; Haven't started MOCKINGJAY

If you haven't finished reading CATCHING FIRE, do not click the "read more".

If you have, click through to see some of my final thoughts as we get ready to read MOCKINGJAY.

And if you haven't, what's wrong with you?!? These are the BEST books! The kind where each chapter ends with a gasp that has you "just one more chapter"ing until 5 am! Read HUNGER GAMES! Read HUNGER GAMES! Read HUNGER GAMES!

Tomorrow is MOCKINGJAY day!

A couple months back, I promised some folks on twitter a place to have a chapter by chapter discussion of MOCKINGJAY. As I left my bookstore just a few days back, I don't have the planned space, but I'm happy to have it here...

As I'm reading each chapter, I'll stream of conscious some reactions (as long as I can keep tearing my eyes away from the book...) Feel free to comment as you read the book.

Please do not read a chapter's post before you've finished that chapter (I don't want to spoil it for you!) and extra PLEASE do not post any spoilers in the comments that give away things that happen after that chapter.

Anyone who gives away spoilers where they are not allowed will be tied up in President Snow's personal torture chamber, where tracker jackers will be released one at a time to sting you until your painful insanity makes you beg for fanged monkeys to tear out your heart.

Let the Games Begin!
