I have neglected you blog...forgive me?

So it's been a while...I didn't stop reading life just got to crazy and I stopped blogging.  That being said I am back on the ball and have read some great books and some not so great books.  Let's just cover what I have no intention of writing reviews about:



  1. 1. The Hunger Games series - if you haven't read these books you are clearly (a) living under a rock or (b) under the misconception that you are too good/cool/advanced to read a YA book.  I feel you group B as I was previously  along time member.  I skipped the Twilight series and all other books that have made teenage girls squeal since I was in fact a teenage girl myself.  However all three books in the Hunger Games series are badass and the only reason you even remember they are YA books is because there is no nudity/sexytime. Awesome books, super quick and quite frankly the movie was pretty damn good as well.






2. The Games of Thrones series - oh again I have to say that I am not in general a fantasy fan (if you are rolling your eyes b/c Hunger Games is arguably fantasy I say touche and shut it).  I can't review these books because they are epic both in awesomeness and in scope.  Also how on earth would I do that without it being a giant spoiler alert.  Also so far only partially through book 4 and honestly can't really remember what happened in each book to write about them intelligently.  So just read them - go out of your comfort zone, stretch that brain muscle and enjoy the bloody , occasionally rape-y, badass series that George R. R. Martin has made for us. Side note the HBO series is pretty awesome so if the size of the books intimidates you enjoy it in one hour bits with some really pretty actors (it's not as soon though so consider yourself warned that you are missing out).
