I have a very short and sweet book review for April. I just wasn't feeling any of the books I started. Hopefully May is a better book month for me!
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins-
I think we have probably all read this book, right? Well, with book four, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, being made into a movie I think everyone is back into what they're calling their "Hunger Games Era". Including me.😂 I've rewatched all the movies. So I thought why not reread the books??
The first time I read The Hunger Games it was for my seventh grade reading class. So naturally, I hated it. Now that I have given it a little time, like 12 years, I loved it! I read it super quickly, because I was so hooked. I've seen the movie maybe a handful of times, and to be able to notice the differences between book and movie was neat. I honestly forgot about a lot of things that happened in only the book.
If it's been a while since you've read this series, give it a go! I may read Catching Fire this month too!
A Year at the French Farmhouse by Gillian Harvey-
I love all things French. Of course I had to read this!
This book is what Nancy Meyers movie dreams are made of. I could so see Diane Keaton in all her "Coastal Grandmother" glory playing the part of main character Lily. Fresh flowers all about the French Farmhouse, lunch in a "locals only" café, dinner under the stars..........
I'll admit it was a little slow, but it really was so cute. This is just the kind of movie I would love to watch! Some of the wording was kind of odd, it was awkward and cheesy at times, and I got a little bored. The end was good, though! I feel like maybe the author stayed on some topics a little too long and elaborated where things didn't need elaboration.
If you're fine with a slow book, I'd recommend it. If you need fast pace, don't read it. I really think it is a great book to read before bed, or maybe on the beach.
I am still reading a book I started in April, but it will go on my May review!
Have a great Tuesday!!
