I just started the third book yesterday. I really enjoyed them, what a good trilogy. I guess the movie is on my to do list.

I plowed....and I do mean PLOWED...through "The Hunger Games" trilogy over Christmas.
Started the first book on the 23rd and finished with the last book by Christmas evening. I was entertained, which is saying a lot considering how much I read and how many books I run into that are just...bad. "The Hunger Games" was entertaining and smart in a lot of areas. It wasn't perfect, don't get me wrong. There were several moments when I was frustrated and the last book dragged in several spots. Over all? Good series. I am now starting on "House of Leaves" by Mark Danielewski. It's 709 pages which I LOVE when I need something meaty and is already looking like a complete eye-fuck with the way it's written.

I finally finished Devil in the White City by Erik Larson (2003) and wow, what an intense historical account of what happened at the World's Fair in Chicago at the turn of the century (late 1890s)! I found it to be dense in factual information as well as rich in history of culture during that period of time. I'm definately keeping this book!
I got another book today at Powell's because traffic was nearing gridlock conditions tonight: Laini Taylor's - Daughter of Smoke and Bone (September 2011) Taylor's book is the first of a trilogy, with the second book due later this fall (2012). The genre is sci-fi and not to give too much of the story away, the story is about Chimeras, angels and a girl who lives in Prague (with peacock blue hair)! Laini Taylor is the author of the National Book Award finalist Lips Touch, as well as the novels Blackbringer, which Kirkus said "belongs at the top of everyone's fantasy must-read list," and Silksinger. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, illustrator Jim Di Bartolo, and their daughter, Clementine. Here's a NYTs review: >>> LINK <<<

Just finished reading
"Butterbox Babies" by Bette Cahill. What an amazing and sad stories of babies that were sold and/or murdered in a home for unwed mothers in Nova Scotia. It's a quick read if anyone is interested. |

About half way through "Divergent" and I've decided it's the strong woman's answer to Twilight. Some good light romance but the lead protagonist (female) is not weak and her potential boyfriend would never consider her weak. No saturated pining (yet, please don't let there be).
that being said, this new YA dystopian future genre... ROUGH. lol |

I'm halfway through the 3rd book in the "Game of Thrones" series. I want to read them all before I watch the show. So far I'm so engrossed that I spend every free second reading.

Finished "Divergent" last night.
Hmmmm. I can see certain "formulas" starting to develop within the YA Dystopian genre. I know all genre's have a bit of formula to them - but it's disheartening when it's so obvious (not talking about the fact that most are after a huge war - that is after all what defines the genre). This trilogy has potential - but it is no Hunger Games. Maybe it's a bad thing to read Hunger Games first as far as the genre goes. Kinda like reading Lord of the Rings before the Dragonlance series... Hmmmmm |
