I like the horsey!

Wonderful book with beautiful illustrations. My kids and I found it a great introduction to Lincoln's early life as well as a very enjoyable read.

Gossie is looking for her bright red boots. I like it.

It was really good. I like at the end when they were playing in the sprinkler

Goofy saved the parade from catching on fire.

A fave

This novel introduced the reader to the gruesome and brutal world of the Hunger Games. It focuses on the dynamics of the Capitol immediately following a devastating civil war, where the leaders decide to punish the rebellious districts by demanding female and male tributes in a manner reminiscent of the ancient Greek Theseus myths. What is most fascinating in this novel is the origin story of the series most sadistic villain: Coriolanus Snow. As I read, it surprised me how much Collins can make the reader understand his overarching ambition, his continual fear of losing status and his single minded determination to regain the wealth and prestige his family enjoyed before the predations of the war. As Corio continually reminds himself: "snow always lands on top" no matter what. His dynamic with Lucy Gray is simultaneously repellent and intriguing. He is attracted to her free spirit even as he considers himself her superior in every way. This is a must read novel to understand the origins of the Hunger Games universe.

Bank Heist!! The flower pot was /perfection/. He may not be the strongest or the fastest or the stealthiest among the witch’s servants, and he may not be able to cast curses but if there was one thing Lak-Tak could do well and that was inventive destruction. Another dollop of honey perfected this moment. (Lak-Tak is my hero.) "The School Years" was fun, but I'm glad we're back to Harrackian shenanigans. I'm relieved to see plans for ongoing struggles, too, because it certainly feels like Vivian is getting pretty OP at this point. I enjoy her interactions with the gods as well. I enjoy the whole series, tbh. I'm only two books away from being caught up with what has been released as ebooks and I'm stressing. I don't want to have to start waiting on content.
