I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

I loved the movie and the whole dystopian message. I found that in terms of the young adult phenoma that the world saw with Twilight and the Bella/Edward?Jacob saga. I found that Katniss and her own choice between the two young men to be a better role model. I found myself getting really angry with the message that Stephanie Meyers was sending to young girls, Bella without Edward wasn’t able to live and she would hurt herself just to feel close to him. Bad message. I definitely in the movie applauded Katniss and her grit and determination. I’m glad that you liked it.

Yes, she didn’t really want to choose either boy, which is what I liked best of all.

This is an absolutely ingenious approach to a book review! Love it! This book is also on my “to-be-read” list and hopefully someday I’ll get to it. Do you write all your reviews in this fashion? I’m off to find out…
Happy 6WS! 🙂

I don’t write many reviews, actually, because I’m usually so late coming to them.
You might want to check out my Twilight reviews, however. I have quite a bit to say about hair.
