I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."

hunger games

So my aunt and I have a very similar taste in reading material. We both love Harry Potter and many other books. Recently she has been insisting that I read the series titled 'The Hunger Games'. For  a long time I put it off insisting it would be odd and boring and not worth it. Finally, she got tired of waiting for me to come around so she bought me the first book for Christmas. It. Was. AMAZING. This series has been an incredible adventure so far. The books are so entertaining and they really draw you in. I sincerely care about the characters. When they feel conflicted, I do too. When they feel relieved, so do I! The novels are fantastic and I would recommend them to everyone. Good books always give me a wonderful feeling of joy and this one definitely left me impressed.
