After reading the first book of the Hunger Games, I simply could not wait to read the next one. While in Hondo for the weekend, I finished the second book called "Catching Fire." I am still not sure what drew me into this book. I think it was the love story twist and how the characters kept fighting even though they were in so much pain. I really didn't want to relate this to my life, but it just kind of happened. Sometimes life is so painful and there is nothing you can do about it but move on and keep fighting. After every chapter I kept thinking about the hardships we face everyday and how with the support of everyone around us we are able to some how move and pick back up where we started from. Just thinking about it brings me to tears.
Luckily my brother-in-law also reads these books and had the third one for me when I finished it ("Mockingjay"). I began reading it this morning and finished the entire thing on the car ride back home from Hondo. My wonderful husband offered to drive the whole way home because he knew I wasn't going to be able to put this book down. I don't want to say to much in case someone has not read the book and wants to read it, but it's just funny how sometimes things on our journey surprise you and you weren't expecting them at all. These books have so many messages. I know that many people were not happy with the way these books ended, but I really enjoyed reading them and am content with the ending!
So now that books 6 and 7 are finished I'm onto something that I hope will have much happier tone and won't make me cry :)
