I only know Room and The Hunger Games from your list but those two were excellent. What did you think of them? Are you planning n reading the other two Hunger Games books?

Today it's wholemeal bread with cream cheese and fresh chives.

I've started The fire within by Chris D'Lacey yesterday evening. It's a re-read, so it will hopefully help to get my mojo back.

I've put State of mind on the side for now and read Numbers by Rachel Ward, which was really bad. I didn't like this "hip" writing style which probably is intended for teenagers to like it better. I could hardly stand it.
-
The Hunger Games trilogy is just brilliant, I couldn't stop reading. Don't wait, go for it! Read the Hunger Games!

I started Numbers by Rachel Ward and put the Katzenbach book down for a while. Maybe this will jumpstart my mojo again.

My reading activity so far for this month:
August
44. S. G. Browne > Anonyme Untote (Breathers) 4/5
45. Gemma Malley > The Declaration 3/5
46. Lisa McMann > Wake (Wake) 2/5
47. April Henry > Breakout (Schock Point) 2/5
48. Alden Bell > Nach dem Ende (The Reapers are the Angels) 4/5
the last couple of weeks my mojo deserted me, I'm still wading slowly through State of Mind by John Katzenbach, which I started on the 11th

Bloody hell, I might have to come to Germany to find me a good boyfriend
My German is not very good, but Ich will Bücher haben, Sie müss mich viele kaufen Or something of the sort! Don't know if that's a german thing, though. I bet there's a finnish man like that too. And that sentence is good to know Though it would be "müssen mir" not "müss mich". That would make you german 100% better than my finnish, as I don't know a single word 
It's just not my usual read, sometimes I like to stroll out of my reading-comfort-zone and that's when I would read a book like this. But there is this "sometimes" and not "often", that's why it's not so high up in my priority list.Poor book, seems like nobody wants to buy it on it's own -
YAY for the Patricia Briggs books!
They're the ones I've read so far and I loved all three. -

my mojo deserted me after a full-on-reading-week.
Still reading the boo I started on the 11th... -
S. G. Browne > Anonyme Untote (Breathers)
synopsis from amazon
Meet Andy Warner, a recently deceased everyman and newly minted zombie. Resented by his parents, abandoned by his friends, and reviled by a society that no longer considers him human, Andy is having a bit of trouble adjusting to his new existence. But all that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls in Rita, an impossibly sexy recent suicide with a taste for the formaldehyde in cosmetic products, and Jerry, a twenty-one-year-old car-crash victim with an exposed brain and a penchant for Renaissance pornography. When the group meets a rogue zombie who teaches them the joys of human flesh, things start to get messy, and Andy embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will take him from his casket to the SPCA to a media-driven class-action lawsuit on behalf of the rights of zombies everywhere.
my thoughts
A very funny read, that will make you sympathise with the Zombies, even though they're (hm well) Zombies. It's an easy read with quite short chapters, so you can always read one more.
Rating: 4/5

That's brilliant, I'm very happy for you!

I've thought about opening my own bakery so many times, something in the style of Magnolia or Hummingbird Bakery, but it's just to difficult and expensive to realize and maintain. Ah yeah, and there's the thing that I'm not a pastry chef or anything alike (so it's always a bit like gambling, if the cake turns out well). But it's always nice to be complemented on the things I bake and I get al giddy and am not able to wipe the grin of my face

I finished Breathers by s. G. Browne yesterday evening. A very funny Zombie-book

I've baught another book: Matched by Ally Condie. Maybe I should slow down with the buying

I totally struggled with all three books of the Inheritance trilogy, I still want to know how everything will conclude in book 4. I might read all the books in german this time, maybe it was just a language barrier that kept me struggling.
