Unexpected Books: Which books did you have reservations about reading, but ended up loving once you did?
- Hunger Games, Susanne Collins - Yep, you read that right. I was initially leery of beginning Hunger Games because I was sorely disappointed by Twilight. I was afraid HG would be yet another tween fad series that (in my opinion) stunk. Sorry to any Twihards out there.
- Playing With Fire, Gena Showalter - When I read this, I was desperate. I had just flown in to see family and my parents are pretty tame. As in go to bed by dark tame. And I had devoured my plane read on the plane, of course. My second selection, whatever it was, wasn't very engrossing. Thus, I decided to go through my mom's stack of paperbacks, where I came across Playing With Fire. It's a paranormal romance... I know, I know. I claim to not read romance novels. BUT, this one was cute without being gag inducing. Showalter is clever and quite funny, so I ended up really liking the series. I now read her books when I'm in need of something that's funny and brainless.
