The Hunger Games

I just finished reading the 3 hunger games books. One right after the other. The first book I couldn't put down and finished it in a couple of days! The books are well written and I really enjoyed reading them. John is excited for the movie. I actually read the first 5 chapters aloud to him, but I couldn't wait to keep reading, so I just filled him in on the storyline. He thought the plot "disturbing but captivating". lol. He would ask for an update every night I read.

The Distant Hours by Kate Morton

I really like this author! I finished this book in a week. I told myself I had to get some other things done before checking out another one of her books or I will fall further behind...I know when I start it I will curl up in my comfy recliner every chance I get to read!

So...Do you want to know what it's about!!? (summary from google)

A long lost letter arrives in the post and Edie Burchill finds herself on a journey to Milderhurst Castle, a great but moldering old house, where the Blythe spinsters live and where her mother was billeted 50 years before as a 13 year old child during WW II. The elder Blythe sisters are twins and have spent most of their lives looking after the third and youngest sister, Juniper, who hasn't been the same since her fianceé jilted her in 1941. Inside the decaying castle, Edie begins to unravel her mother's past. But there are other secrets hidden in the stones of Milderhurst, and Edie is about to learn more than she expected. The truth of what happened in 'the distant hours' of the past has been waiting a long time for someone to find it. Morton once again enthralls readers with an atmospheric story featuring unforgettable characters beset by love and circumstance and haunted by memory, that reminds us of the rich power of storytelling.
