Summer reading continued

So I have this sweater, its a really cute nautical sweater that I started knitting in May.  It is nearly done except for the sleeves and I have no motivation to pick it up because I can’t seem to put the books down.  I have read a few more books since the last time we talked.  Per Sharon’s recommendation I read The White Queen by Phillipa Gregory.  It was pretty good though it did seem to lag a bit in the middle.  It is typical of her writing and I felt like I learned a lot about that particular time period.  Also read Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby (he wrote High Fidelity) it was a very easy read but a good one and I would recommend that for an easy day by the pool.

Then I read The Hunger Games.  I had no idea what I was getting myself into, they were so good.  I blew through them both in a few hours and then reread them because in exactly 5 days the final book in the series comes out and I am foaming at the mouth to find out how it all ends.  I can’t recommend these enough, so so good!  I tried to pick up the latest Eragon book and read it while waiting for Mockingjay to come out, but can’t get into it because I keep thinking about The Hunger Games.  After next Tuesday, who knows, I may read another book, I may finally finish the sleeves on my sweater or I may sit stewing in my own vomit, only time will tell.
