  1. This is a neat idea! I think I'm going to have to do this, too. I haven't read a few of those on there (like Shiver, Fire, or Catching Fire - but I haven't read Hunger Games yet either...probably need to get on that). I'm with on Hate List, Ballads, and If I Stay - talk about bringing me to tears!
