I Have a Very Importance Announcement to Make!

Spent more time than usual deciding what to read next, and I figured that the only way to get my mind off the amazingly awesome-but-incomplete Wolves of Mercy Falls series (post-Linger)...
would be to start this...

So that's my exciting announcement. I want to shout it from the rooftops:
IT'S TIME! IT'S TIME!
I'M FINALLY READING THE HUNGER GAMES!

I'm betting that most of you have read Hunger Games already, so what did you think of it?

Mercy Falls, MN (?)

Bumming around on the computer, wondering where certain places in Mercy Falls (of Shiver and Linger by Maggie Stiefvater) might look like.

*Note: Mercy Falls is a fictitious setting, and all of these pictures are from other places in Minnesota that could resemble the town. The two houses are from Duluth, MN, and the small-town images are from random towns in Minnesota. :)

Grace's House

Okay so maybe not a Victorian house, but I like how the back opens up to the woods. This house is from Duluth, I think.

Beck's House

Might be a little large, but still...the book made me think of something like this

Mercy Falls

(that cafe might look like this)
