Ive fallen behind but I plan to catch up soon.

I've been thinking of buying the hunger games, heard good things about them. I found all three books on one book website for £4.99.

I am getting 39 books delivered this week :-0 One of them I won the other 38 I bought for just under £30 (all band new books as well).

I got The Hunger Games off Amazon in a boxset and read one a day over three days

I did the exact same thing this last weekend.

I didn't plan it, they just lasted exactly a day for me

I'm looking forward to seeing the film.

I just started reading and pretty much couldn't put them down, so I read whenever I had an opportunity to while I was up in the mountains over the weekend.

I liked them a lot, especially the first one. It's a shame they weren't more involved - it felt like they skipped very quickly through time to me, it was good that they didn't get bogged down in detail but it sometimes felt rushed. Like there was this huge world, with a lot of fascinating details, but we only really got a scrape of it.

How is everyone doing in April? Still on track to get to your targets?

I've actually started slowing down my reading. I've just finished my 63rd book of 2012 and so I figured I can afford to slow down a bit lol.

Omg. I don't have time to read like that. I think I'm on track, I just need to update the list.

Still on target, I could be doing more if I read in the evenings

**Abcinthia** · 04-05-2012, 05:14 AM

I have no life, so read most evenings for several hours.

I've also been having trouble sleeping, so when I wake up at stupid o'clock, I read until I'm tired enough to go back to sleep.

See I used to be like this. Before the internet

**Abcinthia** · 04-05-2012, 05:27 AM

I shun the internet for a good book, but only for the couple of hours it'll take me to read it all

**dancingpotato** · 04-05-2012, 06:01 AM

My life is work. I chat a lot on Skype and yahoo so guess of I stopped doing that I'd read more.

**Zorak** · 04-05-2012, 06:44 AM

I'm way off target. But I knew I would be. Should get a few more books done in the coming weeks because I have to read them for my dissertation.

**dancingpotato** · 04-05-2012, 02:36 PM

I'm reading The Hunger Games since people were talking about it on here. I'm not far into it but I really like it, especially since I really don't know what is going to happen cos I knew nothing of the book til I heard folk talk about the film.
