My reading list

I've been trying to read a lot more lately and mostly catch up on some classic literature I've never read. I love having the free downloaded books on my iphone so I can read in bed in the dark- its the best. I've gotten tons of suggestions to what I should read next, and hope to get to them all sometime soon, but I have to either borrow the book or get the public domain ones because the Payson library stresses me out- I have never successfully checked out a book for myself there and I don't have even one moment to spare looking for one while I have the 3 kids and one of the ladies was super rude to me twice. I'm proud of my little reading list of the books I've read in the last couple of months. They were all really good and I enjoyed them so much! Here's my list with some super deep thought reviews to go along (not really, but I don't want to bore you too much). 

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Really fun book, I liked each different chapter story and the smart hero)
The Scarlet Letter (This one I thought had some long boring descriptions, but good moral story)
Peter Pan (Really sweet book, I loved all the description of Wendy's mother, Barrie must've had a tender heart)
Pride and Prejudice (Really great chick book)
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (I love the subtle wisdom of Mark Twain)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Short read, cute and clever)
The Count of Monte Cristo (Loved it so much- one of my favorites!)
Hunger Games (Both these 2 I read in about 1 day each, they were unexpected and fun)
Catching Fire
Now reading: The Narnia Chronicles (On Prince Caspian) I borrowed from my sister. So far so good :), I even got to read a little bit while holding my sick Daiser today. Poor baby said "Ow Head!" a few times and fell asleep on and off for a few hours this afternoon. I wasn't able to get very much done today because of it, but I was glad to have some good baby snuggles. I just can't even believe my baby is going to be 2 next week!
