I loved ...Wow, talk about it all being subjective. I loved the first two books in the Hunger Games series. As a matter of fact I found the galley back in 08 and when I read the blurb I thought it sounded terrible. Come on, teens killing teens in the future? Still I threw it in one of my many bags. When I got home I picked it up and started reading. I couldn't put it down. I love her writing and the premise was very engaging.<br />I do find that I can only stomach like a few dystopians at a time. Then I have to go to another genre.<br />My latest find was THE HUNT which is vampires meet HUNGER GAMES. Very intriguing and page turning.Kim Baccelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304806976633973536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-85869762706682807752012-05-24T20:39:22.797-04:002012-05-24T20:39:22.797-04:00WoW!

The Hunger series kept me turning pages too and I couldn't wait for the next one out each time. I also have Ghost Dog of Roanoke on my TBR list which is so long I'll have to live to be 100 to read it all The other book I'm not familiar with.<br /><br />Great post.Beverly Stowe McClurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176195451841801819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-60095266651963485452012-05-24T13:26:15.542-04:002012-05-24T13:26:15.542-04:00Thanks for the suggestions on great YA/MA reads. I...Thanks for the suggestions on great YA/MA reads. I'll have to go look for those books, now. And The Hunger Games? I'm all over that! When I first heard they were making a movie (and it wasn't by Peter Jackson, lol) I was really worried, but then I read that Ms. Collins herself had her hand in the production and the movie was everything I could have hoped for. Glad you read the other two books - how did you manage to stop after one???Ophelia Julienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424224315791620172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-17923982938115075772012-05-24T11:24:34.030-04:002012-05-24T11:24:34.030-04:00Thank you for your lovely review, Rebecca!
