Well, I can now say that I've read the entire "Hunger Games" trilogy. This week I read Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Of the three Catching Fire is my favourite. I just found Mockingjay to run from problem to angst to battle to wound from battle to angst to sorrow to angst without any real let-up. …

It's Saturday again already so that means another look at what we've been reading. I read this great book - Some Hats, Some Girls and Hitler by Trudi Kanter. I bought this with my birthday gift card and only paid $6.00 - bonus. It's about a lady who was a milliner in Vienne and how she got …
