Close to a Katniss?

Sources today are saying that we're very close to casting Katniss for The Hunger Games movie. Various sources have been reporting that we could have the casting offer today. And who is everyone saying the role goes to?

Jennifer Lawrence is looking like the winner, but nothing is official yet, so we're still waiting to hear exactly what happens.

In other Hunger Games news, Josh Hutcherson is vying for a role. Articles I've read have him as Peeta, which maybe he could pull off, but I want Peeta blonde, so he has some hair dyeing to do!!

    I actually always pictured Peeta as a blond Josh Hutcherson for some reason. So that casting would be cool with me!

    Hmmmm... not sure I'm thrilled with this news. Cannot picture Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss.

    In my mind... well, Katniss does not look like Jennifer Lawrence. :/

    I'm kind of sad that it seems like they're aging the characters. I get why they would but I think part of the power of the story is having young kids doing these attrocious things. Not that 18-20 year olds doing it is acceptable by any mean but it just loses something by going that route.

    I think the reason they're going with an older casting (and why they do it in general) is to handle the labor laws surrounding casting someone who is ACTUALLY 16. Whereas with an 18 year old, a full adult, they don't need to be concerned with limiting hours and arranging tutors, etc etc etc. So I certainly won't be shocked in the least if they go with someone who is 18+.

    I am not familiar with her. I haven't really paid attention to anything Lawrence was in. But, it is very exciting. I imagine Peeta as a blonde also. Thanks for the info. - Parajunkee

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

Rating: 5/5 Stars Genre: Realistic Fiction Release Date: 2/26/2013 Add to Goodreads About the Book: Eleanor and Park are both misfits. When new girl Eleanor sits next to Park on the bus, they don't want anything to do with each other. But over the course of the school year, things change. It starts with comic books and becomes a friendship and a romance that the two will never forget. You never forget your first love. GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?
