What are you reading?

For Book Saturday I decided to blog about WIRN, which is What I'm Reading Now.  I recently finished Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and am about to begin book 2 of the trilogy, Catching Fire. 

 [image error]If not for my book club I never would have read Hunger Games–dystopia isn't really my cuppa.  Plus, the premise of story–an arena of kids who have to fight to the death until there's only one left–was enough to make me run in the other direction.  But my book club wanted to read it, and since everyone's talking about the book I decided to give it a try.  And I'm very glad I did.  I thought Ms. Collins's heroine, Katniss Everdeen, was a fascinating character, as were the others she created.  Katniss is strong yet vulnerable, and I couldn't stop turning pages.  I had to find out what happened next.  I'm really looking forward to Catching Fire and after that, Mockingjay.  The first movie based on the trilogy comes out in 2012 and I'll definitely be at the theatre.

What are you reading?  What's in your TBR pile?  What upcoming books are you most looking forward to?  Hope you have a great weekend!
