So, even though I’m not writing anything new, I thought I could be kind and give you all Bethie-fixes by reposting some of my genius blog posts this week. Am I generous or what? (Don’t answer that.) (Really. Don’t.)

And just so you don’t worry that I’m breaking any Internet Blackout rules by posting this, I’m writing this in advance, on Friday the 28th. Speaking to you in the future, from the past. It’s like a science fiction book, or the Star Trek movie, or Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It’s best not to think too hard about these things.

Oh, right. Yes, here’s what I thought of the first book in the Hunger Games trilogy before I read the third one and LOST ALL HOPE IN THE WORLD.
