I Finished a Book!

I finished not one but two books this week.  Obviously, that means that much else around the house got done, but I figure it was worth it.  I read "Before My Heart Stops" by Paul Cardall, the musician, a recommendation from my mother-in-law.  It's about his life as he waited for a heart transplant a compilation of posts from his blog, Living for Eden, some news articles and additional commentary.  It was good.
The other book was " The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins.  I really liked it.  It takes place in the future, 12 districts ruled by a city called the Capitol.  Every year, there is a lottery where one boy and one girl from each district to compete in the Hunger Games.  Each of them is pitted against the rest in a battle to the death.  It is told from the point of view of the main character, Katniss Everdeen.  One of the endorsements on the back cover claims it is "perfectly paced", and I have to agree.  I did have a hard time putting it down. It's the first of a trilogy, the other books in the series are "Catching Fire" and "Mockingjay".

I'm not sure what I plan to read next, but hopefully, being off during the summer, I can read a few more books :)
