I've been reading

I've actually had time to read for enjoyment and it's been wonderful! I never really liked to read until I read the Twilight series (yes, I'm one of those people AND I read the series three times ::gasp::). Ever since then I am looking for good books to read but only have time when I'm not in school. (School keeps me reading things like head and neck anatomy, dental anatomy, anything and everything a person wanting to become a dental hygienist would need to read. Next semester it will be dental materials, pharmacology, dental radiology, histology, my head is spinning just typing about it!) Anyway, I finished reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. It is the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy.



Both books are awesome and enjoyable! There's romance, adventure, and suspense, who could ask for more?! Word on the street is that book 3 will be out next summer. I can't wait!
After reading Catching Fire I decided to read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. It was interesting but not in either a good or bad way. I enjoyed reading it and really got caught up in the story, however, there was one chapter near the end of the book that just about ruined it for me. It's like renting the pg-13 movie and hearing the one "F" word. Why?! Anyway, I am anxious to see the movie and hope they left out the one chapter.



Since I finished that and still have 12 more days until school starts, I have plenty of time to read a couple more books. Next on my list is The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. This book was recommended by my sister Ann, who loves to read, is in an online book club, and just got a kindle for Christmas (the brat). So I'm going to give it a whirl.



I would love to know what you all are reading and have you leave suggestions! Happy Reading!
