Reading

One of the things that I enjoy most in life is reading. Since becoming a mom that has become much harder for me than I thought. Especially because I spend most of my son's naps/early (& sometimes late) nightime sleeping working on medical transcription. My little sister Mary is always in the midst of several books and recommends plenty of them to me but I usually don't get around to reading them. However, about a week ago she brought me 'Hunger Games' and told me I had to read it and that it wasn't due at the library for a while.

So, I decided to read it and did so in a couple of days. Today I finished the 2nd book in the series, 'Catching Fire' and I LOVED them both. I can't wait until the 3rd one comes out in August. The 2nd one left so many things hanging that I feel so unsettled/excited/nervous about what is going to happen - I love it when good book does that to me! So, if anyone is looking for something that is an easy but excellent read - you should definitely read the Hunger Games series.

I just got these from the library and have heard so many things about this series that I'm super excited to read them.
You're getting so close! I hope you're feeling well!

I am so excited to read them. I am on the waiting list and have been for quite some time so I am thinking my turn is coming up really soon. Glad you enjoyed them. If all goes as planned, I am hoping to be ready for Mockingjay when it comes in August. I share your excitement. But, I totally understand too, it's so hard to make time for reading so times.

Krissy recommended this one to me and I am waiting for it to become available at the library. Now I am even more excited to read it! I love to read as well, but it really does become more difficult with kids. Wait until your second one comes and you have even less time. Having two is pretty great, though!:)

People kept telling me to read this, but I expected it to be super gory. I just finally picked it up a few weeks ago and LOVE it! I just finished Hunger Games and started Catching Fire last night. Soooo good!
My library has them! I'm hold #3 for the first book and #5 for the second. Hopefully all the people before me don't use their full month to rent it!!! I'm also #9 for The Lucky One :p I'll probably have a baby by the time I get that one!!

I've only heard good things about this book series! Maybe with so many people recommending it, I should too.

I loved The Hunger Games. I haven't read the second one yet. I felt like I was neglecting my other responsibilities, so I made myself take a break between them. :)

I just read those recently, too. They're so disturbing---but definitely addicting!

Isn't that series awesome?! I am so excited for the third book! And they are already planning a movie!!!
I love these books too! They sounded really weird at first, but I loved them. I can't wait for the last one to come out!
