The Hunger Games Trilogy Boxset by Suzanne Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I never got around to reading this series, though I bought the bundle back in September when it was on sale, until I started seeing the trailers for the movie.

Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was expecting this to be like The Search, which I enjoyed but felt was weighed down by the research. The S&R details in The Search were interesting, but I didn’t need a master class in Sit & Stay 101 before even meeting the hero. It’s obvious an insane amount of research went into Chasing Fire, as well, but it adds flavor and intensity without slowing the story … Read More »
