What can I say, I love to read. I enjoy escaping into all types of books. I look forward to the end of a year when "the best" books lists are published. It is a wonderful thing to fall in love with a character from a book!

    I read the hunger games over the last few wks - could not put it down! Little things like kids and sleep kind of fell by the wayside while "shhhhh, mommy's gotta finish this chapter!" My 10 yr old really wants to read them but I told him not until at least next year. The movie looks pretty awesome!

    Oh my god...... I can't believe that I haven't read this page since October!! Yes, I've read the Hunger Games and loved it. I need to request the next two in the series from the library.

    I have not read Hunger Games but I think it is on my (very long) list! I am currently obsessed with a british mystery series by Elizabeth George. I am slowly adjusting to the altitude - our front doorstep is at 6900 ft, or, as I like to say, I get hypoxia just walking upstairs!

    Hi Jennifer, Do you have a copy of the Jody Piccoult book for this month? If so, could I borrow it for a day or two when you're done? I'm a quick reader and don't need very much time :)

    Hi Jen! I'm still laughing at your outrage over Loving Frank. It was so different from most books I like. It was kind of random that I even picked it. I was telling John about it on the way home and he was like why would you recommend that? LOL sorry! That ending still haunts me. I think that is why I liked it. Oh well. Now you'll never want my recommendation.:) Good to see you guys!!
