Having been waiting for Mockingjay since I first read The Hunger Games back in the fall of 2008, I spent most of the summer looking forward to it and was mostly happy with it.
But! although I appreciated Mockingjay and all, it was Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness that stole my heart and stomped on it this summer. To say that I cried at the end would not be quite accurate. To say I sobbed great, wracking sobs would be closer. Be forewarned, however, it is not so much three books that can be read separately as one giant 1600 page novel that is chopped up into smaller units for easier carrying.
I have also been listening to the many adventures of Jacky Faber by L. A. Meyer this summer. I'm not a big audiobook listener, but I am loving Katherine Kellgren's narration to pieces.
