So I've been looking for something to read, something beyond fanfic, because I've had the hardest time actually getting through an entire book recently. It's a sad state of the world when I can't actually finish a book - I have stacks of half finished books all over my nightstand right now just waiting to be finished.
Recently I heard some friends talking about The Hunger Games and I thought what the heck why not pick up a copy of the first book and see how I like it. And so I picked it up this weekend while we were out and promptly forgot about it, sitting on my book shelf in the list of to read books that I have waiting for me to finish one of the books in my started stack.
And apparently the third book in the series came out this week, (Mockingjay), and so my friends were talking about how awesome the books are again and I thought why not? And I picked up the book to read a chapter or two last night to see how I liked it and then decide if it was going to move to the top of the stack. Well needless to say one chapter turned into the entire book, I mean really - it was awesome.
I know it's classified as YA, and it's written in first person, but dude - seriously, this book, the flow, the world building, the characters, all of it just fit together so nicely to make a book that I didn't want to stop reading, even when it was over. Which is why I am going out this afternoon to get the other two books in the series. So if you're looking for something new to read, I would thoroughly recommend these books (yes the whole series, even though I haven't read that far yet).
