  1. Nice post! I haven't been keeping up with these so it's nice to be in the know. I'm a little surprised at the popularity of the Hunger Games. It poses an interesting question that you addressed-apparently literature does play a big part. Wish Avengers would have gotten something though!

    See you on the Leap Frog hop!

    1. I'm not, it was a really good movie! It totally got snubbed on the Golden Globes and the Oscars, though!
