 This was horrible. Preston and Child seem to be setting new lows for themselves.

juggling a few books atm... I'm starting a reread of the master of the weird tale H. P. Lovecraft.  Should keep me going for a while. Will also be rereading all of Robert E. Howard's Conan tales starting with  and finishing off Brooks' latest Shannara duology.

Just finished this:  One of those books that just leaves you staring blankly at the last page. Incredible but I'm not sure as to just what level yet.

definitely team finnick.
those books are really good reads if you can put aside that the first one is a total rip off of battle royale.

I gave my 13 year old niece a copy of the Hunger Games Trilogy late yesterday afternoon. By morning, she had read all three volumes.

My eye sight has gotten so bad in the past couple of years that I can only read for brief periods of time before giving my eyes a rest. I've been near-sighted since childhood, but in my old age I'm becoming far-sighted.
