    The Hunger Games Trilogy!!

    I'm currently half-way through the second book and so far I've not been able to put them down! :)

    If you like teen dystopian fiction with a strong female lead, try Divergent by Veronica Roth. Book 2 is Insurgent. Unfortunately, book 3 is not due out until Fall 2013 (book 2 was just released a couple weeks ago). As good as Hunger Games.

    I just finished "Juliet, Naked" which was not Nick Hornby's best (imo-- that would be About A Boy) but a fun read... and Hornby is always intelligent and funny.

    Also just finished "The Chosen" by Chaim Potok which was an endearing story with a very interesting glimpse into Judaism.

    Currently reading "Housekeeping" by Marilynne Robinson, which may or may not be an acquired taste, but is chock full of some of the most absolutely gorgeous writing I have ever picked up.

    My stock quick, fun beach read rec: "The Girls Guide To Hunting and Fishing" by Melissa Bank. Thinking it'll require a 5th read this summer :laugh:

    Don't waste your money on 50 Shades of Grey unless you're a Twilight fan...it was written by someone with the literary skills of a sixth grader.

    Just finished Eat Pray Love and would definitely recommend that one. I've heard good things about 50 Shades of Grey also, so that'll probably be my next read. My fellow Passion Parties consultants are eating it right up... We're calling it research lol.

    Tamora Pierce is the author, right now I'm reading the Song of the Lioness series (I think that's the name). It's fantasy for young adults, and with a female protagonist. (And I just met the author...:happy: )

    John Irving's "In One Person." He's my favorite author and never fails to impress.

    Fifty Shades of Grey <groan> The story is ok but if you've read Twilight it's the exact same thing. Take out vampires and werewolves and add in BDSM and there you have it. Also, 50 Shades is written very poorly.

    Best books I've read lately: Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and The Language of Flowers of Vanessa Diffenbaugh

    game of thrones. i watched the first season on hbo before starting though so it's not as exciting (as the show follows the books quite well) and is therefore taking me a while to get through!

    Fifty Shades of Grey...I liked it. I must not be a great book critic. I didn't think it was written poorly :)
