Book List: Catching Fire & Mockingjay

Since posts regarding my study habits everyday for the next three weeks will inevitably prove to be insanely boring {both for you, and for myself,} I've decided to use this time to play a little game of catch up on this blog. I have a stack of books I've read over the last term that I've been meaning to post about, and just haven't had the opportunity - until now! So you can expect more posts on readings and baking {since playing around with new recipes seems to be how I'm spending my study-free evenings} and fewer posts on daily outfits. For now at least.

About a week after I posted about The Hunger Games, I picked up and read the other two books in the trilogy: Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
So. Good.
These two books delve deeper into the story line that The Hunger Games began. It deals with the repercussions of Katniss and Peeta's actions, ultimately throwing the entire world into chaos. The plot becomes complicated as Katniss struggles to understand her place within the revolution that threatens to both destroy and to save the ones she holds dear. And, as anyone would expect from a piece of teen literature, the love stories become increasingly muddled and twisted. I would be lying if I said that I didn't spend several very late nights engrossed in these books, concerned with the fate of each character and crying when tragedies befell them.
I usually try to read books that challenge me, but lately I've warmed up to books that are easier reads, but still offer captivating story lines. If you're looking for a book or series that meets this description, I would not hesitate to recommend The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay for your next read!
