Children of the Promise
by Dean Hughes
This was a great series. It's an LDS fictional story about the Thomas family during the time of World War 2. It is like the Work and the Glory series! So engaging, and fun! I loved following the lives the of the Thomases. Now I am dying to read the sequel series called HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN.
Thank you Grandma, for letting me borrow these books!
The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
by Micheal Scott
This is another good fantasy series. I really enjoyed the 1st 4 books (two more are yet to be released). It's not as good as some other books I have read, but very engaging and interesting. I really like them.
Ella Minnow Pea
by Mark Dunn
This was a hilarious play on words! Very enjoyable! Good for all above 8 (anyone younger than 8 might not get half of it). A Must Read.
The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins
Yes, I read them. The very popular books. Okay, I must say it was a very interesting topic. VERY ENGAGING. Once you start you will not want to stop. The first two books were really good. But I must say that the 3rd is quite a dissapointment. It didn't really get going for me till about a 3rd of the way through. Altogether, it was very interesting. I really liked them. But they do not deserve a slot on my ALL TIME FAVORITES LIST.
I was very disappointed with the way Hunger Games turned out too. I felt like she rushed the ending and didn't have much idea what to do with it. My book club is reading ELla Minnow Pea soon so I'm glad to hear a good review of it!
ReplyDeleteI know! Hunger Games was really good, but the ending! Were you w/ Gale or Peeta? I was so Gale, but thinking about it a bit, I'm a bit more okay with Gale.
ReplyDeleteHannah! i'm reading Mockingjay right now- finally got after being #413 on the library waiting list for that one:)- alot i've heard dont enjoy the 3rd book as much- but i hope your above comment didnt ruin the ending for me:) Happy belated birthday- you are too funny0 that novel in a year sounds like a cool project!! when will we be seeing your fam agan?
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah!
ReplyDeleteI just saw on goodreads that you made a quiz for PRINCESS FOR HIRE, which pretty much made my life. I loved the CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE series they came out too, and obviously Hunger Games (although I adored all of them. I'm such a sucker for Peeta)
Happy Reading!
