Book Reviews...

First of all, I am not able to comment on blogs.  UGH! I've been catching up on reading and for some reason my work computer won't let me comment!! gahh!

Secondly, happy Monday er Tuesday!  I have read a few books and I wanted to post a short and sweet review of each.  I am by no means a super reader, but I enjoy reading about what people are reading and if they liked it or not.  I am at work so I won't post pictures as this computer doesn't like doing that either....I will link the book to Amazon so you know what book I am talking about.

The Hunger Games Series
I loved this trilogy.  I cannot wait for the movie to come out! I am one of those that likes reading books, then able to see it all play out on the big screen.  The first series I read was Twilight and I did like this trilogy as well.  I feel like I read it slower than twilight, but I think I did just because I didn't want it to end.  I am glad I finished them and I loved the story.  My vote= MUST READ.

The Help
I really like this book! I wanted to read it just before I even found out there would be a movie.  I just finished it a week ago.  And I felt like I flew through it while reading, because I just didn't want to put it down! (despite some friendly comments that I was reading it slow!) hehe :) Anyway, I am excited to see the movie this weekend I hope! My vote= MUST READ!

Heaven is for Real
Quite skeptical about this one in the beginning, I will have to admit.  Not because I am not a Christian and don't believe in heaven, because I am and I do.  But just because there are so many fake posers that will do anything to make a dollar, and when I first started reading it I was afraid that is what this book was, but it certainly was not.  It's a quick read, and I am glad I read it.  I started reading it thinking it was just a story about what happened to the little boy in emergency surgery that he went to heaven.  That did happen, but it is much more than that and I would definately say you would enjoy it.  My vote= READ!!

I Don't Know How She Does It
Reading now...I probably wouldn't have just picked this up off the shelf and started reading it, but I saw there is a movie coming out and I found it used for $4, so I thought what the heck!  I hope I like it, should be interesting!

What are you reading lately?  Do you have a to-read list?!

Those are all such good books! I just started Girls In White Dresses--it's pretty good so far! Definitely chick lit. :)

My to-read list is out of control :) I'm reading a bio of Theodore Roosevelt right now (extremely good) and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (pretty good, but not really living up to the hype, in my opinion). I really want to read The Help! I can't see the movie until I read the book, so I better get on that :)
