May the Odds...

So I'm sure most of you by now have either read the books, watched the movie, or both.  If not, you've at least heard of The Hunger Games.

I'm normally not the type to follow these trendy book series'.  As I've said many times before, I've never been a fan of reading.  So it kinda goes without saying that I never got into either the Harry Potter or Twilight series'.  Actually with both of them, I started out reading the first books and got as far as the first couple of chapters before being both completely bored out of my mind and angered by their stupidity and lack of a realistic sense.  Not to offend anyone who admires these books, but they're just not up my alley.  Which is why it's surprising that I've fallen in love with The Hunger Games.  So far I've only read the first book in the series, but I literally could not put it down once I started it.

I saw the movie almost immediately after finishing the book.  Needless to say, it didn't live up to the book as expected {by my standards at least}, but it was still pretty good.  I'm so anxious to start reading the next two books, but I'm debating whether I should wait until the other movies come out..which is tough because that won't be for another few years.  I'm dying to know what happens next though so I'll probably start Catching Fire  really soon.  Have you read the series yet?  Which of the books was your favorite?

White Grl Probs

For some reason, I've been really into reading lately.  I just finished with the L.A. Candy Series, and I've found myself immediately wanting to engage in another book.  Totally out of the norm for me, as I usually HATE reading.  I've been finding though that it's a really nice way to pass the time on my lengthy commute to and from school each day.  Much more meaningful than sticking headphones in my ears all the time.

White Girl Problems is my newest thrill.  I follow Babe Walker as the clever muse behind WhiteGrlProblem on Twitter, so when I learned that she was coming out with a book, I was beyond excited.  I finally got the chance to start reading it yesterday morning, and let me just say, anyone who saw me on the train must have thought I was psychotic.  Literally laughing out loud with the biggest smile on my face.  

In this sarcastic and witty memoir, Babe does anything but hold back her true personal thoughts about every situation she's been in throughout her life so far.  As of now I'm on White Girl Problem #7, and I must say that this book is easily the funniest thing I've ever read.  I recommend it to all young females especially, but also to anyone who can appreciate a good laugh.

L.A. Candy

Reading just isn’t something I like to do, so it’s a very rare occasion that I actually find myself in the mood to read a book.  But over the past two weeks I decided to start on Lauren Conrad’s L.A. Candy series.  It’s a fun read for anyone who was into watching The Hills.  The books wrap around fictional characters who are based off of Lauren and her co-stars during the show.  I’m currently on the third one {Sugar and Spice} and after this I’ll be eagerly anticipating the release of the first book in her new series, The Fame Game, coming out in early Spring.  Lauren will be touring once the book comes out, so I definitely want to go see her when she makes it to NY since I missed the last one.
