Hunger Games

So, tonight I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to watch a movie based on a book in my  TBR pile. The Hunger Games series has been on my list for quite a while. But I've discovered since becoming a mom that I have a bajillion more titles on that list than I have spare hours to actually read them. Several ladies I know are having a "Mommy's night out" tonight, and guess which movie we're seeing? So now I'm torn between being excited over my first girls' night out in YEARS and feeling horrible about being one of those people. But I don't feel bad enough to not go. So, for those of you who've read the book and watched the movie, tell me: should I go ahead and read it?

A Different Kind of Book


This is not a religious blog, and I don't usually recommend religious literature here, but I think everyone should read this book. The name is really the only summary it needs. If you're looking for ways to apply what you read in the bible to your daily life, Practical Christianity is for you. It is a very short, straight-forward read that will hopefully make you s.top and think. Currently, it is only available through Amazon as an e-book. To download it, click here. It will be the best 5 bucks you spend this week. To learn more about Troy, visit his blog, http://carrythecross156.wordpress.com/ Enjoy!
