I'm so excited for The Hunger Games it's insane. I read the first novel almost 4 years ago, and it instantly struck me as one of the most original and amazing stories I had read in a very long time. Most young adult novels do not hold the amount of perfection this trilogy contains within it. Not to mention the incredible heroin who exudes all the qualities we wish we had. But the thing about Katniss Everdeen that tugs on us is her inability to see what makes her special. She's relatable, brave, and flawed. Thereby belonging to my small group of favorite literary heroins such as... Elizabeth Bennet, Jane Eyre, Anna Karenina, and Lisbeth Salander.

With only 10 days to go until "the girl on fire" hits screens, I've got my tickets to see it at the Arclight Hollywood's DOME, and I haven't been able to top counting down the days for what seems like a year now! I've included one of my favorite stills from the movie that I have seen so far. It's of two of my favorite characters Cinna & Katniss right before she's lifted into the arena. It's moving and beautiful and makes me anticipate the movie that much more.
