It is my Grandfather’s birthday today – he is 84! I made sure to call him to wish him a happy birthday. Bear and I were supposed to drive to Brooklyn with presents today (I got him the Russian version of “Girl with Dragon Tattoo” and Papa got him a book and a cd; my grandfather, like my father and I, is a big reader) but because Bear had to go home this morning, I would have to wait until this weekend when Papa will get back from his vacation. But that’s ok, that will be fun too and we will do a gift exchange.

I finished “Catching Fire” today.

I can’t think of this book as a separate book from “Hunger Games” – especially since I’m reading the whole trilogy all together. I do really like that I really could not tell where this book was going – from the beginning with the Victory Tour to the end with the Games and the rescue – it was definitely a ride. Good twists coming. Again there was some information I caught on before Katniss did like water in trees and some came as a surprise. But it was certainly entertaining in a horrific way. In this book, just when you think things can’t get any worse – they do. I really did not expect the Quell twist at all. I do like the characters and the realism and I love Peeta – he is awesome. Gale, at this point, is the only one who is not really a real character to me, he is more an object (Prim is like that a little too). I don’t get a clear sense of who he is. But usually in stories girls are written like that – a potential love interest at home, so I appreciate the reversal here. I’m a little weary of starting “Mockingjay” right away because this book ended on such a depressing note but I will probably start it tonight anyway
