35559 Hi Guys. Happy June.
35559 In for District 7 - I am listening to the audio version and find the narrator does a good job of pulling me into the story. I remember reading this book years ago on the advise of a librarian. I then saw the movie and now listening to the story. I realize that the movie was well made and follows the book closely.

I am up to chapter 14 where the characters still don't know what they are in for. I see Katniss as naive and can't wait to see her transition into the character she becomes.

35559 @Sophie - I know it's for fun. It's just that reading was always an escape for me and I enjoy reading but lately the author's are not speaking to me as much. I have been into thrillers lately and that seems to work best for me (reading stand alone books).

35559 Good Morning Guys, in an effort to contribute more I will be reading the back room buddy read and am currently listening to The Hunger Games (although I do not like audio books). Trying to get my reading mojo back. I'm stuck in slump city.

35559 #7. Just Another Missing Person by Gillian McAllister finished today - It was alright but could have been better.

35559 #6 . Girls Missing by Paige Dearth - I won a copy of this book #GoodReads Giveaway Winner. This is a story of abuse and depravity of the most horrific kind. Real world???

35559 Hi Good Morning Guys,
I'm Maritza, I live in NYC where the weather is cloudy and cool.
I love team challenges as they motivate me to complete more tasks and read more. My reading has been down this year and I just can't seem to get into a reading mode. My time has been more spent on Tik Tok watching.
I hope to be able to contribute and I will generally read any genre to complete a challenge but have been more into thriller / mysteries lately.
