so i just finished lonely werewolf girl 2! lent to me by the dear Clare of Silverfishfood, anyway here's a photo of the cover (look to the left) so once again we get to hear the saga of the Macrinnalch werewolves (aka. the bold and the beautiful)Kalix is STILL deathly anorexic and drug addicted, Markus is still thane, Thrix is looking for love and (dear) Malveria is still battling with her fashion rival Princess Kabachetka. so this is one of those books that you wouldn't buy but its fun to read, esp. when Agrivex (a young fire elemental with a penchant for Hello Kitty and Doc Martins) manages to get her and Kalix into highschool, this leads to many unimaginable scenarios quite typical of these book series. Now i am quite tender towards this series (i admit i have a small weakness when it comes to trashy fantasy novels.

The Hunger Games
The hunger games is set in a post apocalyptic society which is centered around the great Capitol. As punishment for a crushed revolution the twelve districts around the Capitol are required to send a boy and a girl every year to participate in the ruthless hunger games, a kind of reality TV show with fatal consequences for the losers, the story revolves around Katniss, a girl chosen to participate in the hunger games and must win in order to save her family and her own life.
Ahhhh the hunger games, perhaps my favourite (scifi(?)) book of the last two years, so we have our main character, Katniss(weird name right? apparently some sort of edible herb?) who is chosen to participate in the hunger games (duh duh daaaaaa) which is a reality tv show where 1 girl & 1 boy from each district (12) are sent to an arena full of weapons and other goodies (ie. food & water) to basically kill each other for the enjoyment of the Capitol. so Katniss has three problems
1. her district(d. 12) hasn't won the Hunger games for the last twenty or so years
2. her district partner (Peeta) might be in love with her and vice versa but she has to kill him
3. her supervisor Haymitch is a drunk and he plays a big part in saving her life.
So this book was really good, i would watch reality tv if the networks pitted Kyle Sandilands against Marsha Hines in a one on one battle to the death. Katniss is a tiny bit flat as a character but the supporting characters are good enough to counter that. 4.5/5 stars
