    I’m going to try to get some in as well, but I know I’ll be busy with other things, so I don’t know how much I’ll be able to get in.

    Such a nice hubby.😊 Did you like Mockingjay? I had a couple of issues with it, but overall I thought it was a satisfying conclusion.

    I struggled with some parts of it, things that are no-nos in my head like the scene around the “dropping boxes” near the end, but it was definitely a satisfying conclusion. I was a little tired so I’m re-reading the last 4 chapters or so again tonight and I’m already excited to step back into that world. I hope she writes another YA series in the future!

    I didn’t like that scene either. I think my biggest “grr” moment was what happened with Finnick. If you blinked, you would have missed it. I thought he deserved much better.😕

  YES! Those were my two biggest gripes! I felt as though he was almost gyped in a way and I agree he definitely deserved so much better. It made me so sad but I kept thinking that in real life, not everyone gets what they deserve. So I’m not sure if that was her angle for doing what she did? It still hurts though. 😦

    It’s one thing to do that to a popular character, but at least do it properly! 😦
