Dazzling Desserts

Dazzling Desserts by American Girl is a really cute book.  It had lots of ideas for fun and easy desserts to make with little or no assistance from the 'rents!  Same as everything else though, it did have a ton of clean up- so keep that in mind when you start something.  I made two cakes, one with penguins and a pumpkin patch.  The candy clay recipe was very nice, I loved it and was able to do some really cool stuff!  I would definitely pick up this book. 

Catching Fire, Suzanne Collins

Katniss Everdeen has won the Hunger Games and has returned back home to district 12 with Peeta. The Capitol has been very angry with her because of stunts causing rebellion in many districts. They went on a tour through all of the districts to celebrate their victory, and learned that the Capitol was very harsh to all of the other districts. With the next Hunger Games coming soon, the Capitol decided to have the competitors be winners from other years. Katniss and Peeta go through many challenges throughout Catching Fire. This book was a very fun to read on account of its numerous fast-moving adventures that took twists and turns that I never saw coming.
