July-October Books.

So as I said before, we have been busy. I find that lack of routine or too much time, for me results in no reading being accomplished. I love to read for fifteen minutes here or there, or hoping in the bath for an hour or more. I feel like the summer ran away from me. There was not a single, lay on the beach and read all day kind of day, which I had totally planned on. So as a result, not much has been accomplished on the reading list front. I have really failed with that, but am hoping to make a big catch up, especially now that I am working at the library again.

Sisterhood Everlasting- by Ann Brashares- I was so excited for this book as I have always loved the Sisterhood of the Traveling paints books. I used to reread them each summer, so when I found out that there was a fifth and final book about my beloved characters I was ecstatic. I downloaded the ebook and audiobook before heading on the girls road trip to NYC this summer. I am so glad I did because it gave me something to listen to on the drive, when the ac broke and the wind made it so loud we could not hear each other. I was then also able to read it in bed at night which was a great way to relax. The book was a wonderful and shocking conclusion to a beloved series.

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins - This was on my reading list as it was a must re-read prior to the movie coming out (I am so excited for Sunday)! I am in love with the books and the movie. I felt as though the second time through the book I actually enjoyed it even more. Maybe because I have already read it through and know how it ends, or because I have seen the first movie so many times, regardless I loved it even more. I cannot wait for the movie.

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins- The first time through this book it was a hard read. I did not fully enjoy it and therefore it seemed to take forever. I enjoyed it a hundred times more this time through, but again it took a while. I got busy and just did not have time to read at all, but when I did it was in big chunks of time because I did not want to put it down.
