On reading books and more of that stuff

I finally got really into a book. Yey! (This is the short version of the story)

And this is the long version (so if you don't like this: you're done now):
I read a lot in the end of 2012 and finished a book in the first week of January  But since then I really got caught up in school work and lots of things that I had to do and had to manage.
Some where in 2012 I read The Hunger Games, the first volume. And I really really liked it. The story was just perfect. So refreshing and wonderful and creative. And you really get into the head of the main character: Katniss. You follow her train of thoughts everywhere and every step she makes, you get to make it with her. The story is sad and beautiful at the same time. Sometimes a little cliche, but hey, love should be cliche sometimes, so it didn't bother me. 
Right after I finished The Hunger Games, I bought the second volume: Catching Fire. And I was excited at first, but then I started reading a few pages and I wasn't that excited anymore. 
It's kinda like a hangover.. Volume 1 was sooo amazing. And the writer made it pretty hard to make the sequel just as good. So I thought: well, that was a nice adventure, but it ends her. 


Because THG end in the first book and at the beginning of Catching Fire she gets back to the Seam and she get's to live in this gigantic house, where she doesn't feel comfortable living. And everything is very awkward and unreal. Because she started this rage among the people in the Districts and the Capitol isn't happy about it. 
I was convinced that the second book wasn't as good. And that's too bad, because I think the covers of the books are beautiful (I will show you the two copies I have) and they'd look very nice in my book-shelf. But if I wasn't planning on reading the second or the third book, it wasn't really necessary to buy the third one.
But a couple of days ago I finally got into the book and now I'm really excited to finish it and buy the third one.


Just for your information: I currently only read on the train to school, I'm only for 15 on the train, or before I go to bed. I could read a book in two days (or maybe one day) if I read in one go. But that only happens in summer, most of the times. I will be reading a lot during my exams, for when I need a break :) After studying of course! And sometimes in between ;)
And fyi2 (for your information 2): I read Divergent(series of 2 books) I'm currently reading Eclipse, which is the 3 book in the 4-books-serie of Twilight (+1 a little sequel novella book). I have book one: Uglies, from the Uglies-series (which contains 3 books) I own a copy of Child 44, which I'm told is also a serie of 3 or 4 books. I'm reading (as I just told you everything about) Catching Fire, from the 3 -books-serie The Hunger Games. And I recently started reading The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy Volume 1 (of 5). So now you know a few things: 
1. I read a lot of books at the same time
2. I'm reading a lot of series at the same time (which, sometimes, is really confusing) 
3. I have a lot of books. 
4. I should be studying.

Soooo this was me letting my heart out on the topic of books and all that jazz.

I hope to speak to you very soon.
