    I have a feeling I'm going to be the last person in the world to read The Hunger Games. I hope you have a great week in books.

    I not only got a ton of books for Christmas, but I also requested a ton of books from the library just before Christmas. I'm swimming in books!

    Here is my It's Monday! What Are You Reading? I hope you will stop by!

    Did you happen to see the Hallmark movie version of Trading Christmas? They changed things a bit but I still enjoyed it. I listened to the novel - I liked it.

    Tana - Anna and the French Kiss is really good! I hope you enjoy it too.

    Marce - LOL! I don't read that much in a year. I've always wanted to read 200 books so I thought why not try to reach that goal in 2012?! We'll see how if I make it or not.

    Mary - No I did not see it. I DVR'd it, but never got around to watching it.

    I have The Heroine's Bookshelf on my TBR list. I think there is something really cool about the way that the literary favorites of your childhood and youth stay with you.
    Happy Reading!
