I've just found out Donna Jo Napoli has a new fairy tale novel coming out this spring, and it's making me die a little. WAAAAAANT.

CATCHING FIRE
by Suzanne Collins
(Scholastic Press)
I can tell you exactly three things about this book without spoiling it:
1. I'm shallow enough that I savored just *having* Catching Fire as much as I enjoyed actually reading it.
2. If you're tempted to be let down by the political domination of the plot in the first half, don't despair. The second 200 pages will nail you.
3. You know that sinking feeling you get when the chunk of pages left to read is getting skinnier and skinnier, but the action isn't winding down? And can't possibly wind down in the remaining 1/8 inch? Be prepared for that. (Especially if you're as great big a pouty-pants about cliffhanger endings as I am.)
The end.
(Available September 1. As if you aren't already counting the days.)

I probably deserve this for flaunting Fire, Forest Born, AND The Miles Between, so all you fans of schadenfreude will be happy to know that at least half a dozen people I know are reading Catching Fire and mine has. Not. Come. Yet. *chuff*

I am headed to my local library, where, according to the online catalog, a copy of Living Dead Girl is on hold -- for someone else. My plan goes like this: smile pretty, ask nice, and solemnly swear that I will not leave the building if they'll only take that book off the hold shelf for 60 minutes and let me sit down and read it right there on the spot.
