A Series in Summation - The Tiger Saga by Colleen Houck

This is a series that has the most beautiful covers. Seriously, take a look, they're eye catching. I remember always seeing the Tiger's Quest cover and being intrigued by the beautiful black tiger on the front and the intricate detailing and color on the cover. However, I could only find Tiger's Quest, which was the second book in the series. Eventually I caved and bought Tiger's Quest and started on the second book in the series (bad book habit I know but this was ages ago) and I delved into the world. Overall, I really enjoyed this series. I loved the intricate weaving of the modern day with Hindi mythology and ancient lore, which was a subject entirely new to me but very interesting. Now, let's briefly break down the series and talk about each book. As with any breakdown of series, the sequels' reviews may contain minor spoilers for those who haven't yet begun the series as a whole or reached the following books.

A Series in Summation - The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins

Since Catching Fire released this past year, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about my thoughts of the Hunger Games Trilogy. I'm going to be straightforward- I was not a fan of this book series. I did read them and read them back to back because I was interested in them, and later heard that the movies were being made. The books never really grabbed me, though. Katniss was a character that I couldn't connect to. But, we'll look at that as we get into the individual books. For the film, I will say Catching Fire is fantastic-very accurate and incredibly well done. Anyways, on to the reviews!

A Series in Summation - Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan

Let's talk about one of the series I read in November- Percy Jackson. No, I hadn't read this before hand and a few of my friends kept telling me how great these books were, so I picked them up. Now, since I already discuss all of the individual books in my monthly wrap up that's coming, and I am definitely going to be discussing this series on the blog because I do love it, we aren't going to have a book by book breakdown on this post. Stay tuned until the end of the month for that info. For now, let's talk about the series as a whole.
