Book or Movie?

        Normally I pick book over movie, however I think that it depends on the book and how well the adaptation to screen is done. I think the only movie I might possibly choose over the book is The Fault in Our Stars. I don't know what it is about it that I love, I just do. Maybe Ansel Elgort is the reason I love it so much. I don't know. 
        Anywho, we all know books are awesome. Movies are also amazing in their own way. I think separating the book from the movie helps me to really love the movie. Now I don't love the movies as much as I love the books, but I think they come close. 
        As the internal debate continues let us read on!

Happy Belated Christmas and New Year!!

            Book friends I am sorry to have been gone for so long!! My life has been full of weddings (not mine), babysitting little children, and cramming for my semester finals. All of this is done for now. I am always babysitting, but not so crazy anymore! But enough about me, let's talk books.

**********************************************************************

            Christmas time is a time for books. I didn't get to read anything over my Christmas break, but I got six books. I finally own all of the Hunger Games books. I have read all three of them and own them all in kindle form. However, now I own them all physically which is better than kindle form.
             The books I received are:
  1.  The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
  2. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
  3. Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen
  4. Matched by Ally Condie
  5. Atlantia by Ally Condie
  6. The first book in the Beyonders series by Brandon Mull

There is another one, but I can't remember it off the top of my head. Anyhow I am excited to take on the challenge of reading the more in one year than I have ever read! May 2016 bring great books into your life and I hope you are able to read as much as possible!!
