I have always preferred that bloggers leave as much of their personal lives as possible out of their blogs if it had a particular theme. Now I see that is pretty hard to do. It seems that what we experience in life affects what we read. What started me thinking in this direction was reading "Murder Takes A Bow" by Liz Marvin. It was a fairly good mystery but was so much about diabetes-the guilt of having it, the hereditary factors, what to eat, how to cook, symptoms. Enough, already! I would have much preferred the book if it had been a little more subtle. However, I did read it all and was disappointed with the ending. Bummer!
Back to personal lives. I think one of the reasons I so like "The Hunger Games" was that I could relate to the poverty and finding things in the woods for food. I just finished the second book in that series - "Catching Fire". Loved it and could not put it down or get it out of my mind, even if the end left me hanging. I will definitely read the third one.
Since, in two days, I will start selling for two weeks, I will try to finish some of the books I have started because there is very little time for reading during that period, plus I don't want to get into a really good book and read half the night. Oh, yes, I have been known to do that.
Yes, I am going to pay more attention to why certain books catch and hold my interest. That does not include what I read because there is nothing else around to read. Uh, that leads to another train of thought to pick up later.
