Confuzzled Books
If you are wondering what kinds of books I review and events I host, this little section is the place to look.
Books I love to read: Children's, Young Adult, Paranormal and Fantasy books.
Books I like to read: General Fiction, Romances, Religious Fiction, Mysteries and Biographies.
So those are the genres of books I will generally review. If you send me a book outside of those areas, I'll consider it, but it may not fit my tastes. Reviews will take about 2 months to post; I try to post them around the time the book is released.
On giveaways: Sending me a signed book to give away on the site is a great way to get your book noticed. I do a "mystery book" giveaway about every 2 weeks, where I read the book and twitter about it without revealing its title, then reveal what I've been reading and give it away. The whole event takes a couple weeks, and I feature the giveaway book on my blog for most of that time.

Yes I usually give in to the hoopla and read what’s got the most hype. When I read this though I couldn’t help but compare to Twilight series. Mostly because people keep saying with the movies coming out it going to be the new phenom. So I feel compared to Twilight the writing is much better and just feels powerful. The detailed description of the characters, the district and the capitol was stunning. It is a world that was created almost like Harry Potter series. Like Twilight this has a love story thrown in , very creatively I must say, but disengaged with the love story. In fact I found my self skimming when it became mushy.
I thought the writing to be excellent but did not feel the hype. The first book really felt like a intro to the characters. Which makes me wonder how the two other books in the series fare.
Saying all that I had fun reading it because it brought me back to enjoy reading as I was on a break.
