My Book Reviews

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1) 
by Suzanne Collins 
Awesome book! SOOO not my type of book, so I was reluctant to read it (especially after reading the description on the back cover), but after my mom said I had to, I did...and found that I couldn't put it down! Keeps you going from the beginning! I didn't want to do anything else but read the darn thing! LOL Great book!







Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2) 
by Suzanne Collins 
I liked the second book of the trilogy...not quite as much as the first, but liked it nonetheless. The end of the first book really kinda left me hanging, so I was looking forward to reading the second one to see what happens next! It was a fairly quick read and overall was pretty good.






Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3) 
by Suzanne Collins 
I liked the book, but this was my least favorite of the trilogy. I'm not crazy about the ending (which I'll leave as a surprise for those who haven't read it yet), and for me it was slower than the previous two books. By the time I was halfway through the book I was looking forward to being done with it. I just wanted to know how it ended but it seemed to take a long time to get there, and then when I got there the ending seemed rushed to me. I'm interested to see how this will play out as a movie. Guess I'll have to wait and see. Hmmm....






Thanksgiving at the Inn 
by Tim Whitney 
LOVED this book! Such a heartwarming, touching story about family. This story is about Heath and his dad and their travels back to Massachusetts to live at the Inn. The story has some very interesting characters. I loved how well the characters were written - especially Preacher with his accent. Every time I picked up this book I was brought right into the story and could picture myself as a fly on the wall watching everything happen. It was like I was following Heath around learning as he did. The characters make it such a warm story that makes you realize that 'family' can be a variety of things. I could definitely see this story becoming a movie. It was so enjoyable to read and I think it'd be a shame to not have it on film. It's a good story that the whole family can enjoy. A+


Tim Whitney - if this is your debut, I can't wait to see what comes out next! Thank you for the read! 


The Counseling (Ghost Huntress, #4) 
by Marley Gibson (Goodreads Author) 
I LOVED this book! It was not a book I would normally read but I enjoyed it thoroughly! The ONLY thing I didn't like about it was the ending...where it said "to be continued." Now I've gotta wait for the next one to come out! Maybe in the meantime I can catch up with the earlier books. That being said, though, I didn't feel lost because I hadn't read the first three books. This book, although it had references to the previous ones in the series, could be a stand alone book. I can't wait to see what happens next to Kendall! 

A shout out to Net Galley for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book!


His First Kill: A Short Story 
by John Brinling (Goodreads Author) 

I usually don't read short stories....because...well...I think they are too short! LOL But this one was filled with twists and turns and unexpected things. I loved it! It was a quick read (as I guess is the point of short stories lol) but it was enjoyable all the way through. Thank you John Brinling! It was a fun, unexpected read!
