Hunger Games

Pages: 374 Author: Suzanna Collins Genre: Science Fiction
Like all the other raves you hear about this book I will state it again: IT WAS AMAZING!! Well written and so easy to get sucked into. I read it in 2 days (keep in mind i have kids and a little bit of a life). I have had adults tell me they enjoy it and kids, boys girls. It doesn't matter who you are if you need to do a book report, read it, if you enjoy reading read it like 20 times! I love it and I am so pleased to have it in my own personal library.
Katniss is a teenage girl who lives with her Mom and her little sister, her father died a long time ago. Where living everyday is a game of survival for her. Katniss is actually thrown into a life or death match with 23 other kids to fight for their right to live.

Forbidden

Pages: 454 Author: Tabitha Suzuma Genre: Real life/ romance
This book is very well written and I enjoyed reading it. At first I didn't know what to think honestly. However, I am a person that will try anything once so after reading Wizard's First Rule I decided to read this one given to me by one of my best friends for Christmas.
The book goes back and forth each chapter from Lochan (17-18 year old boy) to his sister Maya (16-17) and them realizing and acknowledging that they love each other and what they do about it. It really makes you think about your own views of what society has taught us and what you think of it all.
When you think of the word incest what comes to mind? Reading this book make sure you keep and open mind and see it from their point of view or you may just not be able to finish it or even get near it. If the thought of reading it scares you then don't. However, I highly suggest it to anyone and everyone that reads my blog!

WARNING: Book has explicit content!!!

Wizards First Rule

Pages: 820 Author: Terry Goodkind Genre: Fantasy
This book I had a really hard time putting down and getting on with the rest of my life. My computer didn't hold my attention, I couldn't sleep well, I hardly ate...It got bad. It was a VERY good book and I highly recommend it. It's easy to relate with the characters or fall in love with them. My husband recomended the series to me so its good for boys or girls. There is some things you would rather not want say your middle school reader reading, but it held my attention very well. Some of it was sexually graphic and others were just gory. With those aside or added it was still very good.
The main character is a guy that was living a normal life, he was a woods guide (meaning he guided people through the woods). Then it becomes up to him and 3 friends to save everyone from an evil dark wizard who wants to control everyone. He has to go into some land that he has never gone through that has magic and weird customs.
It is the first of a long series and I plan to read them all. However, I am taking a break and reading other books to put some variety in my brain :D
Until next post!! Keep reading and keeping your imagination growing!
