the Hunger Games!

Ok, so I know I might be a little late on this, but I was recently introduced to the books and I’m totally hooked! While I was in California, my boyfriend’s family had a copy of The Hunger Games at their house. I took it to the beach with me and read the first chapter… well, I had to go and buy my own copy as soon as I got home and now I’m onto book two.

Sometimes it’s hard for me to get into a book. It’s hit or miss. A lot of the time I’ll read a book, get about half way through, and then have no desire to finish it. I love reading, but only if I really love what I’m reading. I can’t seem to just do it for the sake of reading something. But I haven’t been this excited about a book series since Harry Potter! And now I’m really excited about the movie coming out next year!

Also, as a performer, whenever I watch a tv show, a movie, read a book/script, or even look at an ad campaign, I usually think if I’d want to play a role like the one I’m watching or reading about. Does anyone else do this??? As an actress, it would be incredible to play Katniss Everdeen. And by watching the movie trailer, they’ve picked a great actress to do the job (Jennifer Lawrence). But realistically, I would never be cast as someone like Katniss. First of all, I’m much too tall. In The Hunger Games, I would most likely be cast as one of the Careers, or even the stylists from the Capitol that wear bright, crazy clothes.

Now, I’ll go back to reading….
