So said the people in love with the Narnia franchise. :-

I've still got to get around to reading the book. It's on my list. \:D/

Hold up--raunchy? Sexual relationship? :-s What part of the book, exactly, would be considered so sensual that it would cause an outcry?

I said, for lack of a better word. I could not think of a a better word to describe it. I also did say fairly, meaning that it is not huge, just a little thing, and I know how conservative Lee is, and I thought it might be a deal. Katniss and Peeta do sleep together, both in the arena and out of it. Granted, they may not (Pardon me) have sex, but they still do sleep together.

Sleep together as in they snuggle up next to each other because they don't want to be alone. That's not what I'd call sexual, just... mildly dysfunctional, because Katniss has some emotional issues and she's relying on her "relationship" with Peeta to keep her alive in the arena.

I agree with you. And maybe raunchy was too sting a word, I was just thinking about how weird it was for me.

Hold up--raunchy? Sexual relationship? :-s What part of the book, exactly, would be considered so sensual that it would cause an outcry?
I agree. .they "sleep together", but that's to stay warm. And they kiss a lot, but that's it =P in the 3rd book, there's a talk about those things. .but that's it.

GO HUNGER GAMES. xD

The first one is definitely the best. The other two were kinda depressing.

:lol:

Trust me guys, I read a LOT. (20+ big books already this year... ) And along the way I sometimes encounter kissing and hugging and stuff... ;) And it really doesn't offend me that much. I'm hoping I'll enjoy it! Hopefully it's in when I go to the library tomorrow or Wednesday. :yes:
