Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins

This was an interesting, suspenseful quick read recommended to me By Suzanne Yost. I read it in just a couple of days on our trip to Nebraska. I liked it! Interesting premise about a society where the poor districts are made to sacrifice a teenager to a gladiator-like competition once a year to prevent rebellion. I put the sequel on hold at the library... 279 holds before me :-).

Echo in the Bone, Diana Gabaldon

This is the newly released 7th book of the Outlander series. I loved it! My only complaint is that it ends in a major cliff hanger, which none of the other books do and I did NOT see coming. Well... I guess there must be an 8th book in the works. Sheesh, does it never end! One other small annoyance was the 50 page piracy-on-the-high-seas aside, which I found almost entirely unecessary and uninteresting. Other than that, I was really engaged in this book.
