The Hunger Game series by Suzanne Collins is worth the hype. Each book is better than the last. Rarely do I get a chance to say that! It's YA dystopian. Well written and mature. It has a lot of action and twists. There's also parts that make my throat tighten up with emotion. I'm not someone that cries easily at all. This is powerful writing. Mockingjay is the final book in the trilogy. I'm almost at the end!

 Here's your teaser:
Peeta looks around at our stunned faces, as if waiting for a reply. When none is forthcoming, he asks, "Real or not real?" The lack of response upsets him more.  (page 274)

Friday news flash

I have a busy weekend ahead of me. Writers' group, shopping, a friend's birthday party, and the fall festival. I didn't submit anything to my writers' group to be critiqued this month because I don't have anything new written. Too much time spent revising and critiquing novels.

I finished the second book in The Hunger Games series. It was just as fantastic as the first. Actually, it was better. More intrigue and twists. I can't wait to read the third book!

One of my birthday presents arrived early. I'm now a member of Romance Writers of America (RWA). I had thought the processing would take a while, but they were quick.

Have a great weekend!

I'm finally reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It's awesome so far! Why didn't read this sooner?!

My teaser:

My slumbers are filled with disturbing dreams. The face of the redheaded girl intertwines with gory images from earlier Hunger Games, with my mother withdrawn and unreachable, with Prim emaciated and terrified. (page 86)
