Book 33 in the 2013 Booklist: Catching Fire: Hunger Games, Book 2 by Suzanne Collins

Thursday, December 19th, 2013

Finished: December 1
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

This was the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy. I honestly was not sure what to expect in this book, especially after the ending of the first book. I was not disappointed, this was a good book too. I’m still in love with Peeta though! ๐Ÿ™‚

Katniss Everdeen continues to struggle to protect herself and her family from the Capitol in this second novel from the best-selling Hunger Games trilogy.

That summary just doesn’t do the book justice, but I understand why it is so short, anymore and something might be revealed about the book. I will say that this book took many turns that I was not expecting, and it was good!
I have to suggest it, because I suggest the entire trilogy to anyone!

Go grab these books, they are soo good!
I especially like the narrator for these boooks, I am sure that’s she read a series I read before.
I believe she narrated a good portion of the Women’s Murder Club that is written by James Patterson.

That’s all for now,

Gone: Michael Bennett, Book 6 by James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge
Finished: October 21

This is a series I started many moons ago when I was on a serious James Patterson kick. I found the series by accident, and have followed it ever since I caught up with it. This is one of the 2 series by James Patterson I read and look forward to the new installment every year.

A crime lord has declared war on America. Only Detective Michael Bennett knows why.
Manuel Perrine doesn’t fear anyone or anything. A charismatic and ruthless leader, Perrine slaughters rivals as effortlessly as he wears his trademark white linen suit. Detective Michael Bennett once managed to put Perrine behind bars, the only official in the US ever to accomplish that. But now Perrine is out, and he has sworn to find and kill Bennett and everyone dear to him.
Detective Bennett, along with his 10 adopted children, their nanny, and his grandfather, are hidden safely on a rural California farm, with guards courtesy of the FBI’s witness protection program. Perrine begins to embark on an escalating series of assassinations across the country, killings whose brazenness and audacity bring into question the possibility of safety and law in the U.S. The FBI has no choice but to ask Detective Bennett to risk it all in Perrine’s war on America.
With explosive action and fierce villainy that rivals James Bond movies at their best, Gone is the next astounding novel by James Patterson.

I really love the 10 kids, and the Priest AKA the grandfather heโ€™s a hoot!

This book was good as advertised. I enjoyed it, and of course will be anxiously awaiting next years installment. I love this crew of characters!

12th of Never by James Patterson
finished: May 12
Author Note:
****
Please bear with me, I’m still playing catch up on the few moments I have that I still feel human! So, that’s why this book is posted as finished in early May, and it’s the end of June and I’m just now posting! Also, my reading has really dropped off, and this makes me sad!

This book is book 12 in a series I started by James Patterson when I first went to blind “rehab” and have kept up with it ever since. The books are short, it really is a cliche, but I can’t help but grab the newest book when it comes out. This series is about a group of women who work in different fields of law enforcement, and 1 reporter. I really enjoy it, and if you like cop books with lots of oozzy sweetness, sweet goodness, steamy scenes sometimes, some eye rollers, and a few gruesome scenes then I suggest you check it out. The first book is 1st to Die: The Women’s Murder Club The series is refered to as The Womens Murder Club. My mom bought me the first 6 or 7 books on CD, and I just kep adding to it from Audible ever since. Taylor occcasionally listens with me, but these books are mainly for my own pleasure, and I enjoy them despite the eye rolling tendencies the series has.
Guess that’s it for this one, I like the series, go check it out!
