Blogger's Block

I am so not into Blogging right now, but yet here I am.

I do want to review my most recent read, Hunger Games.

Loved it.

It is young adult fiction which I love because they are easy reads, and always relatively clean so I don't get a surprise (like I did in a recent Jodi Picoult book, which I won't be reading her anymore. She gets vulgar for no necessary reason, ick.)

It is about a future society where The Capitol always wants to make sure the surrounding towns know they are in The Capitol's control, so they hold the Hunger Games yearly. They hat-pick a boy and a girl from each town, between 12-18 years old and these 24 kids go and fight in an arena to the death. Yes they fight until they are the only ones living. It does sound violent I agree, but it was such a good book and I could not put it down. The story is very unique and I'm not a writer, so I don't know about writing techniques or anything, just that I was pulled in and enthralled. That's good writing to me.

This is on my list now! I love Young Adult Fiction too. I know what you mean about blogging right now. I'm going through the same thing.

I love reading your blog! You make me happy! Well the basement is not cold to me, but almost everyone else has uses a blanket.

I haven't loved blogging either lately! I know I have to do it... but I just never feel like it. Anyway, thanks for the book idea. I'll have to read it. I always end up loving your picks!

Cami,
This is a GREAT book! Have you read The Host by the lady who wrote the Twilight books? You'd like that if you haven't...
