Plus, by at least buying the books as they come out, I'm helping to ensure the author has enough sales so the series can continue. But most of the time I read them as they release and then have to agonize as I wait for the next installment.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-57341318545217561952012-10-10T18:19:44.248-04:002012-10-10T18:19:44.248-04:00Molly, I've really enjoyed the books I've ...Molly, I've really enjoyed the books I've read of Meg's, particularly the Mediator series.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-51299734955723535472012-10-10T18:16:17.531-04:002012-10-10T18:16:17.531-04:00I'm looking forward to Catching Fire, too, eve...I'm looking forward to Catching Fire, too, even more now that Sam Claflin is going to be in it. :)Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-83080325880676356732012-10-10T18:15:17.561-04:002012-10-10T18:15:17.561-04:00Thanks, Gannon.Thanks, Gannon.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-2640047044063455232012-10-10T18:13:42.861-04:002012-10-10T18:13:42.861-04:00You're most welcome, PJ.

Some I really enjoy reading and others I just roll my eyes at. I don't see the draw of the Twilight books - they are way too repetitive. But, any of Meg Cabot books are a real joy to read.LilMissMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847160970054624743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-32318013028998554202012-10-10T17:06:22.690-04:002012-10-10T17:06:22.690-04:00Hey, Trish!

I guess it goes to show that you're never too old to read YA!<br /><br />My husband, son, and I finally saw The Hunger Games movie and we really enjoyed it. I'm hoping my son might want to read the series someday (he's 12). We're all looking forward to the next movie!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09653666675287477633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-24295667726478136322012-10-10T16:28:54.475-04:002012-10-10T16:28:54.475-04:00Thanks for keeping us up to date on all that's...Thanks for keeping us up to date on all that's new in the world of YA, Trish. :-)Gannon Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636246789013520445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-55892271616050970312012-10-10T15:37:17.318-04:002012-10-10T15:37:17.318-04:00Thanks for another terrific column, Trish!
