Howdy kids! It's that time!

33. A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
You know, it's hard to tell how "thick" a book is when you are reading on your tablet. I do know this took most of the week to read! I loved it! Keeping the characters straight, the timelines, the maps...so hard when you are not holding an actual book, but I think it helps me remember better. Maybe? Anyway, I truly enjoyed this and have put the next book on hold. I'm still fairly unspoiled for the books/tv series. I only know a few things and I'll leave it there. I might delve into the tv show after I read the next book - I understand it's on the Netflix (yes, I know I said "the" heh).

34. Junkyard Dogs by Craig Johnson
Another Longmire mystery. The tv show veered wildly from these books which is also quite nice as it's like two different worlds populated by the same characters. Kinda like the Harry Potter books vs the movies. Still enjoying these, especially since we were "there". Sort of. Kind of.

35. The Heir by Kiera Cass
This is the 4th book in the "Selection" series. We've jumped to the next generation and it's the reverse bachelor; a princess looking for a prince. Standard stuff. One book left and I have it on hold.

I've been reliably told that I need to read "The Hunger Games". No, never seen the movies, so unspoiled mostly. I'll add them to my list.

What you reading, flist??

The hunger games are definitely worth a read. I didn’t enjoy Game of Thrones (Fire and Ice?) - the chapters jumped around too much for me. Maybe I should try it again.

I like world building stories. I know I'm late to the "games", as it were, but I'm enjoying immensely! YMMV.

The Hunger Games is one of my absolute favorites! The first book is the best, though.

Currently reading Savage Magic by Lloyd Shepherd. It's a little different from what I normally read, but it was cheap at the thrift shop and has a pretty cover.

I totally get that, I just bought some books at our local bookstore's warehouse sale (99 cents each!). The reason one caught my eye was the cover!
