I’ll fight you for it.
>Roger, I hate you.
1) Someone in your office has a galley of Catching Fire and you never even MENTIONED it
2) What is wrong with you that you don’t like the two greatest pieces of American entertainment created in the 21st century, Idol and the Hunger Games?
2.5) I noticed the similarity between Idol and Hunger Games way before you did. It was when I was wishing that Portia and Cinna, the main stylists for Hunger Games, could go to work on Randy and Paula.
3) Go ahead, Horn Book readers, flame me. Idol is over for a year and I’ve got 9 long days to get through till Monday June 1st which is my BEA comp day, already set aside for reading Catching Fire.
4) Roger, why do you think Lois Lowry owes you? I was the one who stood up for Hunger Games on your blog, not you.
Signed,
your best friend, Elizabeth
