Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins. 🙂

It’s quite a ‘read’ - hopefully you started with ‘The Hunger Games’, and ‘Mockingjay’ finishes the series off ‘nicely’ - if you can apply that adjective to the series.

I just finished it in a day, I really hope we can get to the library again soon!

So many emotions right now! :(:mad::confused::eek:

Yes, I started with Hunger Games. It’s pretty spectacular, considering what’s come out for the female YA demographic recently. 😃
 
So busy with school I haven’t posted to this thread in quite a while so I decided to post my required reading instead of my leisure reading.

This term it is:
Statistical Reasoning for Everyday Life, 3rd Edition. (Yep, Statistics) for the math lovers it’s a dream class, but for the average person it can be a nightmare! I’m loving it. It features this new (to me) software program called “Stat Crunch”

The other class is:
Health Psychology: An Introduction to Behavior and Health, 7th Edition. Some may remember the Psychosomatic Movement that was born in the late 70’s…well, it has evolved into what is now called “Health Psychology.” It focuses much on the “mind-body” relationship and how stress affects a person. If it sounds a little “new age”…it’s because it is!🤷 I have to filter everything through my Catholic belief system.👍

Expect to feel even more of the above emotions when you finish the third book. A most challenging series, and I am far from the “female YA demographic” but was thoroughly fascinated by the books. Not sure that I would want to see the movie though.
 
This year I’ve read Raylan by Elmore Leonard and Dying of the Light by George R R Martin.

Right now I’m reading Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card.

Fantastic book, as long as you can stand to read about children dying. :o

I have Mockingjay, but I can’t start reading it until I finish my homework- once I start, I know I won’t be able to do anything else until I finish. 😃
 
Does anyone know anything about Brian Doyle (specifically “Mink River”)? It’s on a list of books requesting review at catholicfiction.net, and I wonder if I should take a crack at it or skip it. Thanks.
 
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.

My sister-in-law raved about this book. I’m about 20% done. Eh.
 
The Old Scofield Study Bible

I should be ashamed of myself.

I worked at the local public library system for years, but I wasn’t much of a reader.
 
Bratya Karamazovy or The Brothers Karamazov. It really does deserve its reputation as one of the finest works of world literature - I highly recommend it.
 
Just for fun, I’ve read several fictional novels by Bud Macfarlane, the last being House of Gold. Also, on vacation read Dean Koontz novel Cold Fire. Now, I’m ready to get back to reading for knowledge. Searching…
 
I just finished two books by Larry Winget:

“You’re Broke Because You Want to Be: How to Stop Getting by and Start Getting Ahead.”

and

“Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get A Life”

Pretty easy reads, but it’s sort of like being yelled at by your drill instructor. Still they might be useful reading for people just graduating from college. Or maybe just starting college. There’s a lot of stuff in there that most people wouldn’t say to you.
 
Finally completed, “Daily Reflections for Lent: Not by Bread Alone 2012” by: Robert F. Morneau.

I read:

“Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back” by: Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent

“Heaven is for Real for Kids” as told by Colton Burpo

“Heaven changes everything: Living everyday with Eternity in mind” by: Todd and Sonja Burpo

I also read a few Catholic Digest Magazines, Liguorian Magazines, and Il Rosario e la Nuova Pompei. <— You can request a Free Copy (donations are accepted of course) of their beautiful magazine by going to their website. Upon your request make sure to ask for the English version

I’m currently reading, " The Greatest Miracle in the World" by: Og Mandino

Happy reading everyone and God bless,
