Encouraging reading is very important to me. We read to our kids every night now and it puts a big smile on the entire family. We all sit down together upstairs read two books, one for each kid and then settle them down for bed with a good story.
My husband and I both read as we go to bed too. The Hunger Games was recommended to me and I’m going to try them out. I could use a break from re-reading Twilight over and over again. Yes, just slap a big NERD across my forehead please!!
The Hunger Games is Now available in paperback!
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capital surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capital is harsh and cruel and keeps the other districts in line by forcing them to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight-to-the death on live TV. One boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and sixteen are selected by lottery to play. The winner brings riches and favor to his or her district. But that is nothing compared to what the Capital wins: one more year of fearful compliance with its rules. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her impoverished district in the Games. But Katniss has been close to death before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. Bestselling writer Suzanne Collins delivers equal parts suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this stunning novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.
If these guys liked it then I’m sure to like them because I love Stephen King and Stephanie Meyer (NERD across my forehead)

Stephen King’s series of books
I don’t know if you have read any of the alternate history books by Eric Flint, but the next one to come out is 1635: The Eastern Front.
A friend was just telling me how great this series of books were two days ago! I think you should read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I’ve been wanting to read that trilogy.

I saw that someone mentioned The Host by Stephenie Myers. That was a great book. I have been reading the Hallowmere series by Tiffany Trent. Thank you for the chance to win!
You should definitely read The Host.
You should read The Cutting by James Hayman.
I enjoyed “Olive Kitteridge” by Elizabeth Strout!
“The Mountain Between Us” by Charles Martin
I just got around to reading Michael Crichton’s The Andromeda Strain and it was fantastic!
Much better than the movie I saw years a go and that was good too. thanks
I heard that Kathryn Stockett’s book The Help was really good but I have not read it myself. I finished The Girl with Dragon Tattoo which was very good but it took nearly 100 pages before I really got into it. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway
I am a follower. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway
Right now I am into the Vampire Academy books! My friend sent me one and got me hooked. Being that you like twilight this might be a good series for you. I am recommend anything by christina Feyhan. She has wonderful supernatural books.
The Vampire Academy Books are really good! I got hooked on them! I am waiting to borrow book #4 from a friend.
I loved reading the Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, and Lost Symbol, and Digital Fortress, all by Dan Brown. I also read Deception Point, but the cursing bothered me a lot more than in the other books, where he uses swearing less. But I just can’t put these books down once I start them!!!
I really loved reading Still Missing by Chevy Stevens…a page turner for sure!
Thank you so much for the chance to win this book!!! I have been wanting to read it forever
Honestly, probably THE best book I’ve read in ages was the Forest of Hands & Teeth, along with the sequel – Dead Tossed Waves (Carrie Ryan). Gripping, and a real cut above the typical YA stuff. Hope you get a chance to read and enjoy
my all time favorite book is Dracula by Bram Stoker
I would say if you have not read yet try Hush Hush good book the next comes out in October.

Well I think the Fablehaven books are the best books ever! So those
Would love to win one of the two copies of Hunger Games! Can’t say I have read any of Suzanne Collins books yet…..just started reading again after several years of sight problems! But would love to start with Hunger Games!
Two books that I have recently finished reading, completely different genre’s but equally enthralling: Hand of Fate by Liz Wiehl, and Bitten by Kelley Armstrong are highly recommended.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway.
