stuff & things

Suzanne Collins: Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games)
Third and final installment of the Hunger Games trilogy.

Elizabeth Gilbert: Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia
Good book, but I really can't see it as being worthy of a movie version.

Michael Scott: The Magician (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel)
As it turns out, this is #2 of a series, but it's pretty good on its own too.

Markus Zusak: The Book Thief
Wow. A unique and intense book.

Suzanne Collins: Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games) - Library Edition
Book 2 of a trilogy that starts with Hunger Games. Can't wait for book 3 - Mockingjay - to come out near the end of August 2010!

Suzanne Collins: The Hunger Games
Book 1 of a trilogy. A real page-turner! Once you start reading, you aren't going to want to put it down until you are finished.

Rick Riordan: The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1)
Camden and Rod both enjoyed this!

Rick Riordan: The 39 Clues Book 1:The Maze of Bones
Camden enjoyed this and is now working on book #2 of the series.

Dan Brown: The Lost Symbol
Another great adventure with Robert Langdon.

Dan Brown: Digital Fortress
Not bad, but probably my least favorite of the four books I've read by this author.

Cheap Trick: The Latest
Just arrived from Amazon today (6/24/09), and I am enjoying it right now!

Chickenfoot:
Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony (of VanHalen), Joe Satriani, and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith

: Mamma Mia!
Must suspend belief when watching movie - but love the ABBA music!

Original Soundtrack: Across the Universe
Excellent movie as well! All Beatles music!

Dixie Chicks: Taking the Long Way
Classic Chicks! Proud of them for sticking up for their values!
