I totally thought this was a great reading month. After checking I've only read 3 books! I'm sure its because I'm reading A Game of Thrones, it took most of my time, but I'm only 10 chapters away from finishing! YAY! Anyway, I finished 3 books. One of them was Mockingjay ... I finally finished the Hunger Games... freakin' AMAZING. Here's what I read and some of my thoughts.
Scarlet by Marissa Meyer (The Lunar Chronicles #2): ★★★★★
OMG! This book was awesome. In this book we meet Scarlet and learn about her story... This is a re-telling of Little Red Riding Hood. What a great re-telling it was. We follow Scarlet on the journey to find her grandmother who's been kidnapped by a pack of wolves (obviously). Its a gritty re-telling. We are also catching up with Cinder and her story continues and then they cross paths. It's really good. I loved it so much.
The Diary of Darcy J. Rhone by Emily Giffin: ★★★☆☆
This is basically a prequel to Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. Its super short just a quick little diary with entries from Darcy. Now, the only thing I have to compare Darcy to is her character in the movie and man... perfect match. You see how her personality develops and why she turns out to be the kind of girl she does. Such a cute little read.
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games #3): ★★★★★
I'm done. and I'm so sad about it. This was by far the best book in the series. It was slow at times but you really see so much action. I enjoyed reading through Katniss' growth and struggles. She's really such a great female character. One of my favorites in any series or books I've ever read. I'm very pleased with how this series wrapped up.
