Good Books

I love when I read a good book and it gets me in reading mode. And then I read another good book and as soon as I finish it I can't wait to find my next good read. I've been in a serious reading kick lately thanks to some good books. If you are looking for a good book, here are a few recommendations.
First is Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It's a series of five books. They are similar to Harry Potter (but not quite that good!). They are quick, fun, easy reads. My 10 year old nephew was reading them at the same time as me and he loved them. I thought the first one was a little predictable, but they got better. I think book 5 was my favorite.

I think I might be the last person on earth to read the Hunger Games. I heard about it from so many people. And like everyone else, I loved it! It can be a little disturbing, but it's one of those books that just grabs you and you can't put it down. I also read the second book, Catching Fire, but I didn't like it as much as the first.

And finally, another book that was recommended to me by a lot of people, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. This was another quick read that I just loved. It touches some on World War 2, which always interests me, but in a very fun, lighthearted way. This book made me want to write. Letters, journal, whatever, just write. It's all written in letters. It made me sad that the days of writing letters have passed.

Happy Reading!
