Reading

What the heck, forget goals! I have accomplished something that I would have never put on my "list." I'm not much of a reader but somehow managed to read more books this year than I think I've ever read. I should be completely embarrassed by this I'm sure, but hey, I'm just statin' the facts!

My year started out with the Twilight Saga. Holy crap that will mess with your life! It was so good I had to read it twice. Finally, I had to return the books to their owners before the books consumed me. Crazy it sounds but so true. I had no idea what I was getting myself into and for now I'm just trying to stay away. Thanks to Linds though, she got me the movie so I can still enjoy it all I want.

To get my fix with Stephenie Meyers, I went on to read The Host. It was no Twilight but definitely good. Very good. I have to say that Ian won my heart...even over Edward. I see you rollin' your eyes thinkin' I've gone mad.

Enough is enough and I had to COMPLETELY move on. Since those are Stephenie's only books that wasn't too hard. My friend recommended the Gemma Doyle Series. First book interesting, different, but enough to keep you reading. Second book, AWESOME. Third book, I wanted to strangle the author for putting me through such torture. I had to read because I HAD to know what was going to happen. Spoiler, I'm still wondering and waiting for book four, but it ain't happening. There will only be three. AAARRGH!

Off to Harry Potter world to review before the big movie.

Ah, then I was handed The Hunger Games. Somehow one of the BEST books I have ever read. Seriously! It is clean, no swearing. That's nice for a change. The book is futuristic, with some gore, and a sprinkle of romance. Must read. It doesn't end there. Then there is Catching Fire. Even better than the first book. I couldn't put it down. What I thought was coming to an end ends up being a trilogy. That's great except the second book JUST came out the beginning of September. What am I suppose to do now?

I guess I will try the next recommendation and prepare to read yet another trilogy The Mark of the Lion. I've heard nothing but excellent reviews. Some even say it's better than Twilight. Is that possible?

So here's to good reading. It's done me some good. I'm up for any other recommendations. Maybe eventually it will help improve my grammar. ;)
