to: The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity (Paperback)byJulia Cameron
This book has changed my life. I finished the book in just under the 12 weeks, and must admit that I did not do many of the prescribed tasks each week. Now. Cameron does tend to yammer on and on about "god," but she also says a lot of really great things about what we all go through as artists. The best thing that this book did for me is to help me realize I am not alone in feeling this way!!! Once I was able to start identifying the challenges in my artistic life for the blocks they came from, I was able to begin creating once again without fear! Thank you Julia!

<![CDATA[Joshua added 'Hell']]>

to: Hell (Hardcover)byRobert Olen Butler
This book has a most interesting concept. Who is in Hell? Why did they end up there? Why do they think they ended up there? And of course on the flip side; Who is in Heaven?
This book takes us on the journey of Hatcher McCord, the anchorman of The Evening News From Hell. Not only is he living with the (sometimes) headless Anne Boleyn, he is also on a quest; to interview the most famous persons of Hell and find out why they think they are there. During this process, he discovers that not only can Satan not read the thoughts of the inhabitants of Hell, but also that there may be a way out.
I enjoyed this book. It was very clever, well thought out, at times gross, and always well researched. It made me want to pick up some classics and history books to follow along. Butler did a good job with the characters that were involved (including some not-yet-dead-on-earth world leaders), and gives wonderful inner-monologues to allow some enlightenment into the hidden torments of Hell. It seems that Hell is more about reliving and recreating the tortures one endured on earth than anything Satan has cut out for them.
As for Who is in Heaven? I'll let you find out for yourself...

<![CDATA[Joshua added 'Catching Fire']]>

to: Catching Fire (Hunger Games, #2)bySuzanne Collins
When I started this book, I did not think it could or would live up to The Hunger Games. It did and does! I can't believe I have to wait for another year for the third book. This may be the best young adult series I have ever come across...
Ok, so Katniss has won the Hunger Games and is back home trying to be inconspicuous. Apparently she is doing a bad job and has brought the wrath of the President down upon her. She is told to shape up or be punished, and unfortunately for her and Peeta, she can not pretend hard enough to stop the uprising that has already started due to her defiance in the Games. This book follows them on their victory tour through the Districts and back home where The Capitol's punishments are becoming increasingly stringent. What comes very unexpectedly and makes this book truly exciting is the 75th Hunger Games and the contestants therein.
Love, love, love! Wait, wait, wait...
