    Most of my reading is for graduate school. But when I exercise or travel, I often listen to the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher. It is incredible. It's like the adult version of Harry Potter. It's our world but with magic, and the main character is a detective/wizard. Awesome action, great character development, great stories. 13 books out so far.

    I am reading "Delirium" like "The Hunger Games", it is a young adult dystopian novel. It also is three books. So far it's very good.

    I'm reading two books:

    One is "The Power of Habit: Why We What We Do in Life" by Chales Duhigg. It's interesting (it's about how we form habits and how to form good habits, etc) but it's too anecdotal.

    The other is a fictional novel called "New York" by Edward Rutherford. I have read all his other books, I love epic novels that span centuries. Its choke full of historical events. I love it!

    I may have to find the Harry Dresden books! That sounds good.

    I'm pounding my way through the Game of Thrones books! You either get right into them, or you don't, but so far I'm loving them! (Especially certain characters like Arya and Daenerys) After those I've actually got the Hunger Games trilogy lined up, I'm looking forward to those :)

    I just finished "The Land Without Footprints" by Benjamin Grossman. It's a great book about a world with no laws and a family who tries to bring laws and justice back. It's really good! Check it out on Amazon!

    Next up I'm reading the Hunger Games trilogy! I got the complete series for 5 bucks on my Kindle a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure if it's still that price :)

    "Last Child in the Woods- Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder" by Richard Louv. Very good read and found it at just the right time, as I just got offered a position at a summer camp called "Farm and Wilderness." After this I will be pursuing a career in Outdoor Education and/or Wilderness Therapy.

    Also reading "The Hobbit" for the millionth time. <3

    I'm currently reading my own novel for editing purposes before I start looking for an agent.

    My first novel is at the editor and I'm working on my second! I hope to start looking for an agent in the next few months too.

    "Ender's Game" by Orsen Scott Card. The it is supposed to be the 80's version of "The Hunger Games" which I loved!! I just started it. If those are your kind of book, I also recommend "Divergent" and "Insurgent" by Veronica Roth. Not as fantastic, but still worth it!

    Gregory Maguire's Wicked- it's the story of who the Wicked Witch of the West really was. I Loved the musical and knew the books would be different. I am loving it, it is a little sassier than I imagined but I like where the book is going. Recommended for sure!
