Ah done with yet another FANTASTIC series...

AH!! I finished the Mocking Jay. SO SAD. I wish there were a MILLION more books!! So the other day I started reading the second Harry Potter book and bought One Thousand Gifts that I will start soon :) 

Favorite quotes continued from Mocking Jay: 

"And suddenly, it's as if there's no one in the world but these two, crashing through space to reach each other. They collide, enfold, lose their balance, and slam against a wall, where they stay. Clinging into one being. Indivisible. ...........No one seeing them could doubt their love."

"So after, when he whispers, "You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real."

"Deep in the meadow, under the willow

A bed of grass, a soft green pillow

Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes

And when again they open, the sun will rise.

Here it's safe, here it's warm

Here the daises guard you from every harm

Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings 

them true

Here is the place where I love you."

Favorite Quotes of "The Hunger Games"

Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.

Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings
them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.

Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm

Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings
them true
Here is the place where I love you.

 "Everything's still and quiet. Then, almost eerily, the mockingjays take up my song."

{from Katniss to Rue}

"Never having been in love, this is going to be a real trick. I think of my parents. The way my father never failed to bring her gifts from the woods. The way my mother's face would light up at the sound of his boots at the door. The way she almost stopped living when he died."

{Katniss trying to figure how to make herself love Peeta.}

CATCHING FIRE

"Because sometimes things happen to people and they're not equipped to deal with them."
{Katniss}

Reading List!! Please add any suggestions :)

YAY :) I JUST finished the Twilight Series! So the next book I own is The Hunger Games, so thats first! If you have any amazing book selections I would love them (not really into self help books - anything other than those!) Can't wait to keep reading!

 maybe the last on the list of four....

might read this while i read "The Hunger Games" it's been a while edward and jacob :) 

Hmmmm Where to Start?!?! Falls Reading List!!!

There are SOO many things to write about - my life has finally picked up after 2 years :) haha. I have just missed blogging!!! But I prefer to spend my two seconds reading the blogs I follow - they are so darling and inspirational on all ends :) I am about to go pool crashing with my girlfriend Ileta so I don't have much time!! I'll start with my reading list!! This summer I read "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants", "Eclipse", "Water for Elephants"and "A Woman and her God". All were SOO wonderful. Water for Elephants is different....I Loved the way it was written when the fellow was old...and it was intriguing when he was young as well..although I must warn you there are several graphic sexual parts in there (for those of you un-married conservative readers.) I did love it though overall. The sisterhood - I got all 4 books at salvation army so I look forward to the next three - ( I LOVED the movie..). Eclipse was by FAR the best :) I have yet to read "Breaking Dawn" in the twilight series. A Woman and her God was just so the instruction I needed at the time I needed it. For you ladies felling down it's just wonderful.  OK!!! Don DOn DONNNN...my reading list for the crazy thing we call Fall here in Maui - really guys? It's still summer....um here goes...(I HOPE to read it ALL!!!)

1. Eat, Pray, Love - Elizabeth Gilbert
2. Emma - Jame Austen
3. The Sesond Summer of the Sisterhood - Brashares
4. The Lucky One - Nicolas Sparks
5. Harry Potter 1 - Rowling

All books I have and got from either a garage sale or salvation army!! I am halfway done with 1 and 2 :) Eat Pray Love is great so far...I'm kinda snoozing through the India part though....but I'm told to keep going! I love books. I have a list of ones I want to read but don't have - 

1. The Help - Kathryn Stockett
2. Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Meyer

Our darling NEW KITTY!!!! (A whole other post entirely!!!) helped me formulate this blog photo :) 

August 14.

My new read..I'm on Chapter 2 and I LOVE it already..

Summer Reading

I was inspired by my friend Olivia to post the books I hope to read this summer! So here goes! 

(Just over half way through!! Trying to finish before the Movie's out!)

(Half way through! So much better than the movie!)

Picked it up at a garage sale Saturday.

Also a find at a garage sale. 

Any Suggestions of a Good Summer Read? I suggest the top three so far,
