It was GREAT!
Catching Fire is the sequel to The Hunger Games, both books suck you in. The story is unlike most other books I've read. I won't reveal much, but I will say that sometimes I found myself wondering what was wrong with me that I was enjoying the crazy story in the books. Did anyone else feel that way? Yet, you can't put them down! If you read them you'll understand what I mean. I'm pretty sure there is going to be a third book and that it will come out next September. If you are looking for some good Holiday reading do yourself a favor and read these!
Last week I also read this book, (below). It was really good and an easy read. I just saw on her website that they are making a movie out of it. I will have to see it.
The story line in the book is based off the Grimm's Fairytail Story of Rumpelstiltskin.
As far as I know there is just one book. It's not a series.
Ok, so I did a lot of reading last week!
But I have been wanting to read this one for awhile and when the library finally had it in I couldn't pass it up. Promises To Keep is a follow up book to the Hearts of the Children series and Children of the Promise series by Dean Hughes.

I started reading Children of the Promise about 10 years ago and loved them so much I bought all 5 books in the series. Then Bro. Hughes came out with the next part of the story in Hearts of the Children, also with 5 books and I have all of them too. If you are going to have a whole lot of time during the Holidays read these books! You can even borrow them from me if you want!
If anyone has any good book suggestions for me to pick up PLEASE pass them on. I have a trip coming up and I will have LOTS of time to read. Four days without kids or a husband = lots of time to read and shop with my mom and sis-in-laws!

I love the HUnger Games series, I can't wait for the 3rd one. I totally need another book to read so thanks for the suggestions.
I will have to check these out. I'm always looking for a good book.
And 4 days with no kids or hubby?!? That is a real vacation!!
I just read a book call Waiting for Normal by Leslie Connor. It's an easy and quick read...I think it's a young adult novel. I loved it and now want to read more of her stuff.
Another favorite book of mine is Enchantment by Orson Scott Card. It's a fairytale of sorts..not super sci-fi like his other stuff. I loved it!
Witch's Boy by Michael Gruber was fantastic! It's about a boy who is raised by a witch, nursed by a bear, and tutored by a genie, and has alot to do with the "real" version of fairy tales. It is clever and interesting.
The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon is really addicting, disclaimer: the unabridged is long (approx 40 cds on audio) the abridged is approx 6 cds but of course you miss out on major and minor details. It is about a woman who was a combat nurse in WWII, then finds herself in the 1700's in Scottland. It's a romance and has some adult content. But fantastic - especially on audio.
