WELCOME! I hope you'll stay and click around a bit. If you like something you see, I encourage you to subscribe to my RSS feed and connect with me through my other social media buttons. Thanks for visiting! I have no idea what’s happened with my schedule lately and why I can’t get my posts ready to go the night before these days. But it seems there is always something going on at night now and I have to prepare my post after dropping my little man off at school. Thank goodness I haven’t had anything I’ve had to do in the mornings. Last night, I met up with a sorority sister that I hadn’t seen in SIXTEEN YEARS! Her new job brought her to Memphis for training so another girlfriend and I headed downtown to have dinner with her and to catch up. She looked EXACTLY the same and we picked right back up where we left off. Such a good time! Brought back so many memories….
Matched. That’s the title of the book I’ve started this week. As you know, I’ve just finished The Hunger Games trilogy and was told by several people that this book was similar and I should check it out. So I’m giving it a go. So far, I have to admit that it does remind me of The Hunger Games. Futuristic, love triangle and geared towards young adults. Though I’m only 1/4 of the way through the first book, it did grab my attention in the very beginning and I am very anxious to read more.
I LOVE my bookmark, by the way. :) Funny how little things like a bookmark can just make you happy.
I’ve been somewhat intrigued with all these books that are geared towards teens/young adults making such a big splash – even with adults. When I think about it they are easy reads, action packed, romance without the smut (not that we all don’t appreciate a good smut novel every once in a while) and ideal movie material. Weird how things change over time. I would have never guessed that I’d be so into vampires and futuristic endeavors.
I’ve challenged myself to read 25 books this year. This is no. 4. If you are on Goodreads, you can take the challenge as well and it will help you track your progress. You can read/write reviews, find friends, search books, etc. I really enjoy this site. And there’s a great iPhone app! If you’re on Goodreads, I hope you’ll find me there.
Have a great day!

Ever since you posted that you were reading this (on instagram, I think) I have been wanting to look it up. It looks pretty good, although I have not read the Hunger Games (I buy my books from amazon kindle that are 1.99 or less for now).
Keep me posted on how you like it!
Will do! The second book JUST came out and I think there is supposed to be a third. The friends that turned me on to it really liked the book. Hoping I will as well. I do download some books from Amazon for the Kindle app on my iPhone but sometimes, I just have to read the old fashioned way.
I do love browsing around a bookstore.
that is my all time favorite quote, love it!!
I cant wait to hear what you think, I am going to add it to my list of books!

Did I reply to this comment already? LOL – if I did just pay me no attention. I’m not right these days. I’m about halfway through it and still liking it. Easy read. And yes, I do love my bookmark – the quote is just perfect.
Fun! I especially like your last shot, great perspective. I love all kinds of books, but haven’t read anything this year! Guess I‘ll have to change that. Will check out Goodreads as well, it sounds interesting.
