Recent Favorite Books

• The Hunger Games - books 1, 2 & 3.  Sorry but book 3 was boring.  I had to force my way through the end of Mockingjay  Either make kids kill each other or don't write a book.  Also I don't like the categorization of this book "Young Adult".  Really Amazon, B&N etc people?  Way to make me feel old!  Books 1 & 2 The Hunger Games & Catching Fire rocked though.
• Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk - if you like humor and/or animals this book is for you.  They're short stories - which are perfect for people with ADD, small children or short commutes to work.
• Blink - this is totally interesting in a very nerdy way.  If you've ever wanted to know how people think or make decisions read this.  Especially if you think you have some special power like being psychic, having that "motherly instinct" or think you're better than other people at judging things, then read this book.
• Friday Night Knitting Club (and sequel Knit Two) - The first book was pretty good.  Single mother has cool knitting store in NYC.  Teaches daughter life lessons and (spoiler alert) then dies.  Sequel was pooh.
• The Elegance of the Hedgehog - I didn't like this book.  It was ... how shall I put it. Weird.  Maybe if you're into history, French things or philosophy you might enjoy it.  ehh. (that's eehhh in a bad way).  Picture me doing my upper lip jeer.
• The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: books 1 -3.  This trilogy was awesome.  I loved reading them and despite them having tons of Swedish words of names and places it was very cool and not that hard to follow.  I've seen the Swedish movies and even those are good.  Hollywood movies are in the making currently.  I can't wait.
• The Help: A+
• Room: A+
• Heart of the Matter: B-
• Committed: My first book on marriage, since being married.  I like it!  Would definitely recommend.  A.
