I've been reading books by Jennie Hansen lately. She is an LDS author. They books are cop/FBI type dramas with a romance. They obviously have LDS references but not too sappy. Fun, easy reading. Also, I am in the middle of "I Am Hutterite". A story about a girl who was born on the colony and then her family left. That's as far as I've gotten. Will keep you updated. Mom
The Hunger Games
I read the book "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins (I think) while our computer was crashed. It's about a future time when North America has been divided into 12 areas and once a year each area has to send two competitors - a boy and a girl - to the Hunger Games where they fight to the death. The last one standing wins and their division is provided with food etc. for one year while the others continue to scrape by. I wasn't sure I would like it, but I ended up really enjoying the read. It moves along at a good pace and you really start to empathize with the characters. I would recommend it. Oh, but in case you get surprised like I did and are waiting for it to wrap up, it is a series. The next one is coming out right away. I have my name on the list at the library, so I'll let you know if it's as good. I've read that it is even better. Jen
Jane Austen
I just finished reading The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen by Syrie James. I really liked it. It was written as if Jane Austen had done it, so anyone that enjoys her novels would enjoy this book. I recommend it to all fans of Jane Austen for sure. Emily

Sunday At Tiffany's
I finished the book, and it was pretty good. Chapter 16 I believe was a bit smutty, but I just skipped it. It was only a couple of pages long. Em

I know this isn't a book review, but I had no other way of sharing it with everyone. Hope you enjoy!

Sunday's at Tiffany's
I am reading James Patterson's book called Sunday's at Tiffany's. I am enjoying it quite a bit so far. I'm about halfway through right now. It's not one of his mystery novels, but more along the lines of his romance novels. I'll let you know how I like the rest of it. -EM
