The Hunger Games Trilogy

A re-read

Let it Snow

by John Green, Maureen Johnson, Lauren Myracle.

The Mortal Instruments Series

by Cassandra Clare.

Read volumes 1 through 4. That took up most of my summer.

The Chocolate War

by Robert Cormier.

Every page of this book made me uncomfortable. Good lord.

Forever

by Judy Blume.

So HEAVY. And so reminds me of myself at 17.

City of Bones

by Cassandra Clare.

"JACE. I AM YOUR FATHER" (to be read in Darth Vader voice)

Fear

13 Stories of Suspense and Horror

Tiger Eyes

by Judy Blume.

Sigh.

A Wrinkle in Time

by Madeline L'Engle.

Don't get me wrong, this is a wonderful book. But my girl Madeline must have been taking some SERIOUS psychidelics!

Last Sacrifice

by Richelle Mead.

Last book in the Vamp Academy series. I will miss it. For reals.

Spirit Bound

by Richelle Mead.

Ah, Vampire Academy, I do enjoy you so.

Secret Bedroom

by R.L. Stine.

More awesomely bad horror.

The Giver

by Lois Lowry.

This is such an amazing book.

First Evil

by R.L. Stine.

I read Christopher Pike growing up, not R.L. Stine. So glad to be catching up now.

Thirst No. 1

by Christopher Pike.

I bet Christopher Pike just HATES Stephanie Meyer. 

Blood Promise

by Richelle Mead.

Sigh. Vampire Academy is my favorite vamp series. Way better than Twilight, yo.

Get it here.

Little Women

by Louisa May Alcott.

It took me sooooo long to read this, but it was worth it. I read it for the YA challenge, and I must confess, I thought it was boring as hell when I WAS a YA. But I enjoyed this time around.

A tangent: I think Beverly Cleary spoiled me for more complex literature when I first started devouring books. Don't get me wrong, Beverly Cleary is wonderful. Her books are clever, relatable, and devoid of too much description. I read everything she wrote over and over again. When I was around 8 years old, my aunt, seeing my book obsession, gifted me with the Anne of Green Gables series, sure that I would adore it just as much. I'm sure they are very good, but even as an adult I can't get through the first chapter because the writing is lousy with description. My busy brain is disinterested - who cares what every nook of the house looks like, just get to the point of the story.

Little Women is a nice balance of story and description, but it is terribly long. And I didn't cry when Beth died.

My Soul to Lose

by Rachel Vincent.

This barely counts as a book. And it wasn't good enough for me to shell out 10 bucks for the sequel.

Evermore

by Alyson Noel.

Hunted

by P.C. Cast

Ready for the next one now.
