Caught Fire

All right, I get it, finally: the obsession with The Hunger Games trilogy. I've listened to two of the three books, and I'm eager to start the third--although not for some time, because I just started the audiobook Death Comes to Pemberley. I can't say I'm as enthralled as everyone who was reading it during its heyday, but I'm very much enjoying it. It's sick and twisted at its core (awesome) and laden with stupid teenage indecisive love (lame. C'mon, Peeta, have some emotion other than heartsick-sacrificla-lamb), but it works.

The narrator, Carolyn McCormick, is my favorite audiobook personality so far. I might search out other books she's read, just because she read them.

Next Lifetime

So, I'm listening to The Hunger Games series on audiobook. I'm 1/3 into Catching Fire and this Peeta-Gale-Katniss thing is getting old. Where's the action?

Listening to Pandora at work, Erykah Badu's "Next Lifetime" came on and I immediately thought of their endless love triangle. Pick one, please, or die, or something, so I can stop judging your stupid adolescent indecision.
