Books are like being in love...

Every time I finish a good book, I always feel like I can't start another. Hunger Games, in this case. "How could I read another book? There'll never be another one like Hunger Games! It'll never be the same!"
As soon as I started the book, I knew I'd want the next one, so I two-day shipped it from Amazon. Unfortunately that was on Friday and two-day shipping doesn't count the weekend, so the second isn't coming until Tuesday but I finished the first last night. Boo!
"I could never read another book! It'll never be perfect like X was!".
My to-read pile is actually shrinking. I still have 20-something books waiting to be read (including King's latest 475895747825420 page one), but I can probably go back to being freer with buying new ones!
I sure did love Hunger Games. It's just too bad reviews on the second one are mixed.
Hunger Games on Amazon, where it got 585 five star and 152 four star reviews out of 795 reviews!
