I think ABC stands for American Broadcasting Company (or Corporation...not sure which).

Lala...I couldn't agree more. I am not sure what I was expecting for the cornucopia, but I was rather disappointed by it for some reason.

Bahahahaha...that is an awesome story! Did you find the gerbil?

I have just stared Life's a Beachby Claire Cook. Only about 25 pages in but am looking for a breezy beach read type book. Don't want anything to heavy right now.

Let me know what you think of it. I enjoyed it, but didn't find it as gripping as most of her other books. Took me a long time to get through it, but I just wasn't reading much becuase I have been so busy.

I have been bad...I haven't been reading in the last couple of weeks and it is killing me. But by the time I get home and get to lay down I am so exhausted with my allergies that I can't stay awake to read. Soooo, I am finally reading by Jodi Picoult

I did read the books and saw the movie Saturday night (on my birthday) with a group of friends. I thought the movie was very well done and stayed pretty much on task with the books. There was one small thing that bothered me and that was the Mockingjay pin played a much bigger role in the books than the movie and came from a different origin than in the movies. But overall, they did a great job.

I read anywhere and everywhere. But I realllllly need to clean all the clothes off the chair and ottoman in my bedroom so I can have my little reading nook. But I also loveee to sit outside in a big comfy chair (which I don't really have) and read when it is nice out.

Bridget you MUST read The Hunger Games! I carried it around (on my Nook) for over a year before I made myself read it and I devoured all 3 books in litte over a week. I think it was like 9 days. I kept reading the "cover" and thinking..."this just does NOT sound like something I will like"...but I loved it!
