If You Read One Series This Year...

 After putting off beginning the series for quite a few months, I can happily say I have finished The Hunger Games trilogy! And, I'm sure most of you have heard many good things about the books, and I can promise you, it didn't disappoint! I cried through each book (I get emotional about characters.. who doesn't?) and I was pleasantly surprised at the series themselves.

I guess I had thought I was done with the "kid-lit" books in my life, being 24 now, which is perhaps why I put off reading the books for so long. But then I finished the first one (bought from Brookline Booksmith).

And instantly bought the next two in the series, Catching Fire and Mockingjay, on my Kindle, so I could start reading them without a moment's hesitation.

And I didn't stop until I finished. Weeping into the last pages, of course.

I have recommended the series to everyone I know. Seriously, one of the best series I've read in a while (and, in my opnion, far superior in every way to the Twilight series!)

(No offense, Robert Pattinson, I still adore you.)

Books not to read alone at night..

So I have started two intense books: 1) the first of the Hunger Games series (in print), which I have started because I've had dozens of people recommend it (even outside of publishing - a lawyer recommended it!!)

and 2) Darkly Dreaming Dexter (on the Kindle), which I know will give me nightmares. But I keep hearing people talk about what a good show it was, and just recently discovered the that the show is based loosely on the books. So far, it's a lot of alliteration (obviously). I'll keep you updated!
