The Hunger Games...

I have been an absentee blogger over this past week.  I would apologize for this, but I have been swept away into the lives of Peeta and Katniss, and until my journey is complete, it is quite possible that my blog posts will be short and/or nonexistant.

It feels good to love a book again.  I have my favorites that I can always return to reading if the mood strikes, but there is nothing like beginning a new adventure alongside characters that become a part of you. I had been hearing about The Hunger Games for quite some time, but I had been hesitant to read them, assuming they would not grab me in the way that I was craving a book to capture me.  Boy was I wrong!  I have been whisked away into this new world of Panem and I am beyond taken by these characters.

I don't want to spoil these books, but I do encourage everyone I know (and haven't had to pleasure to know) to read them.  It is very rare that I find a book that I feel compelled to tell everyone I know to read.  I have just added three to my collection:  The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay.  Read them.  I promise you will be glad you did!
