A Peek at Karen's World: Happy Turkey Day!

What I Just Finished Reading

The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins--Brilliant from start to finish, this series does not shy away from difficult topics, situations and issues. Suzanne Collins did what Stephenie Meyer could not: allow some of her characters to die for their cause. Mockingjay is heartbreaking and terrible and amazing and wonderful. I couldn't put it down.
Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris--As far as vampire books go, this is actually pretty good. Fun story, exciting mystery, and I love that the chick gets to kick ass.
