Writer's Block: Words of Comfort

[Error: unknown template qotd]

My favourite place to read a new book is where ever get the chance to open it. I started reading Bridget Jones' Diary queuing for my lunch at a Philadelphia McDonalds. And got funny looks when I LOL'd at the line 'if your name is Mr Darcy you shouldn't stand around looking snooty at parties'.

A couple of weeks ago my BFF and her family visited with us at my fiance's house, and her daughter brought The Hunger Games, so I started to read that. Then her daughter took it away, because she was still reading it. So now I am waiting impatiently for her to finish the damn thing so I can finish it. Have resisted buying it, since I'm already part of the way through it, and its not that long a book. My BFF's daugther isn't the quickest reader in the world, unlike her mother and myself, so I'm considering hitting a Barnes and Noble, grabbing the book and a cup of coffee, and finishing it in the shop. *shifty eyes*

I have resisted buying The Hunger Games as well, in spite of recommendation from my adult daughter. But I'm weakening.

What do you think of it so far?

I like it more than I expected to. It's nicely written, and the story is interesting. I'm looking forward to reading the resto fo it.

I have a friend who loaned me all 3 books and I read them within a week! Maybe you could borrow them from someone, too. They are great books, but oh so heart wrenching.
