<p>&#8230;Rosemary Clement Moore&#8217;s &#8216;Highway to Hell&#8217;, Texas has four seasons:   </p>
<p>Hot.  Humid.  Horrible.  Hellacious.</p>
<p>I think we may have reached the Hellacious season. Here in North Texas we boasted (or is it roasted?) at the temp with a heat index of 108 today.</p>
<p>It is so hot out there right now that, in less of a heartbeat, it can suck the energy right out of you.  </p>
<p>Sooo&#8230; what to do on a day like that?</p>
<p>What  do I love to do when the weather just won&#8217;t let me get outside?  I find a place to hide away with a diet coke or french vanilla latte and read. </p>
<p>I just finished <strong>the Hunger Games </strong>and the sequel <strong>Catching Fire </strong>by Suzanne Collins and can&#8217;t wait for the last in the series Mockingjay that comes out Aug 24th.</p>
<p>Ally Carter has the awesome Gallagher Girls series and I&#8217;m right in the middle of the 4th book, <strong>Only the Good Spy Young</strong>. </p>
<p>Rosemary Clement Moore&#8217;s <strong>Hell Series</strong>.</p>
<p>Carrie Ryan&#8217;s <strong>Forest of Hands and Teeth</strong>.</p>
<p>Tina Ferraro&#8217;s <strong>The ABC&#8217;s of kissing boys</strong>.  (I also liked her <strong>How To Hook a Hottie</strong>)</p>
<p>Sophie Jordan has a new Young Adult series coming out in Sept and it is about the Draki titled <strong>Firelight</strong>.  So far the reviews have been totally awesome and I can&#8217;t wait for that one.</p>
<p>I love a good story that makes me fall in love with and pull for the characters through their journey to attain their goals and vanquish their conflicts. </p>
<p>Ah, so many books so little time! </p>
<p>What are some of your favorite books?</p>
