Catching Fire

Last night I finished the second book of the "Hunger Games", called, "Catching Fire". It was awesome! It was even more intense and nail biting then the first book. It sucks you right in from where the first book left off and it deals with issues that the main character, and the reader, now understand, so you feel more emotionally attached. It is also a whole different game from the first book and I loved it. The only down side was the huge cliffhanger at the end! I now have to wait till next year to read the third book because it hasn't even been published yet. I hear this book series is so popular that the first book, "Hunger Games", is going to be made into a movie. That is going to be an amazing site to see if they stick with the book! I'm so excited to have an other series to follow. These books are definitely on my top 5 list!

The Hunger Games

After Twilight I've been in somewhat of a novel funk. Nothing seems to be good enough. Except for the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, but that lasted only a month and I was back to square one. Nothing seemed exciting to read anymore and it was hard to get through anything, up until my sister in law Angie and cousin Erin told me I had to read "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. I had heard of the book before on a Twilight fan website due to the fact that it was Stephenie Meyers favorite book over the summer. But for some reason I just ignored it. I am so happy my family got me to read this book. It isn't just about love (which we all know I have to have) It is mostly a action, survival, thriller. When I actually had time to sit down and read this book it took me a total of 3 days to finish it. After the first little bit I could not put it down. It is definitely one of my favorite books. I finished "The Hunger Games" last night around 1am and the first thing I'm doing this morning is buying the sequel, "Catching Fire". A word of advice; makes sure you all ready of the sequel on you when you finish this book. I hate waiting to have to go get it!

Happy Reading!

Better & More Twilight Party Pictures

My wonderful cousin Erin sent me these great pictures of my Twilight Birthday Party. My camera is completely broken and I was using the camera on my phone, which is horrible. Thank you so much Erin for these pictures! This was the most extravagant birthday party I have ever had and it will probably be the last (due to the fact that I am an adult and shouldn't act like I'm 12 year old 24/7) but it was so much fun and well worth the hard work. Thank you everyone for helping it make a Twilight night to remember!

Cousins: Brian and Erin. Don't you love Brian's shirt?! Erin made it especially for him. Yes she is multi- talented in all things good!

Here is a close up of Erin's amazing sugar cookies. Yes those wolves were cut out by hand and red food coloring was added to the chocolate to make that reddish/brown fur. Talk about dedication. Oh and don't forget Edward's sparkling diamond heart!

Make a wish!

I love how this picture shows how red everything was! :)

Erin's beautiful baby Hailey even got included in all the fun! And yes Erin made her shirt too!

Close look at the entry way table.

It was great to be able to snuggle up to Edward in this warm fuzzy fleece!

Picture of my whole outfit including the shoes. FYI the heels on those shoes are 5 inches. It takes sheer talent to walk all night in those babies!


This really shows my contacts perfectly! I love the, just had my vegetarian meal, glow. If you didn't know my eye color is originally blue/grey, so this is a huge change. It really freaked me out when I would look in the mirror!

Last but definitely not least: Alice, Edward, and Rosalie. What a happy family!
