What an awesome excuse we have. :)<br /><br />Stefani~ I read both Hunger Games and Catching Fire ...each in one gulp, also. :) I have Mockingjay pre-ordered from Amazon and have marked out my calendar for two days in August, LOL. Not my usual reading fare, either, but insanely compelling. Whew!! Just to let you know... I liked Catching Fire just as much or more, and I was *bouncing off the walls* when it was over. The cliff-hanger ending is worse than the 1st. I'll have to check out The Forgotten Garden and The House at Riverton. Always need books to add to my ever-growing TBR list. :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878817427434603915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-12238832472689553732010-06-02T08:07:31.278-07:002010-06-02T08:07:31.278-07:00Ooooh!

Both were really excellent - modern classics in the making. <br /><br />Another one... and you're going to have to trust me a little bit... The Hunger Games. It was TOTALLy not something I thought I'd like, but my sister in law, whom I trust and respect immensely, highly recommended it. I started it at night and could.not. stop. reading. <br /><br />Finally, I looked up at the clock and it was FOUR AM! It's a serious page turner. Catching Fire, the sequel, is on my night stand but I'm scared to open it :-) The third and final installment comes out in August. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1919156,00.htmlStefanihttp://www.blueyonderranch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-69660404918827291572010-06-02T05:25:30.817-07:002010-06-02T05:25:30.817-07:00Blue Like Jazz sounds interesting!Blue Like Jazz sounds interesting!Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-55337292560060509202010-06-01T20:35:30.620-07:002010-06-01T20:35:30.620-07:00I loved Guernsey Literary as well, and Hotel on Th...I loved Guernsey Literary as well, and Hotel on The Corner ... has been on my list for a while. The TBR list, it never stops growing! Have you read The Help? Just finished that one and like Guernsey, you can't help but have your heart yanked around ... but possibly even more so. <br /><br />Hadn't heard of your other titles; I'll have to check them out. <br /><br />One of my favorite things about homeschooling is the excuse to read my own stuff -- after all, I'm modeling a love of literature to my offspring!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034180396689442335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-49503595485890351622010-06-01T18:36:38.005-07:002010-06-01T18:36:38.005-07:00Levi has read all 4 books and they are among his t...Levi has read all 4 books and they are among his top favorites.

We like them immensely, though they are pretty scarey. They are a spin off of Peter Pan.<br /><br />ChristinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-14936673186919366472010-06-01T11:17:47.147-07:002010-06-01T11:17:47.147-07:00Just finished The Guernsey Literary... today!
