Hunger Games . . . Just Read It



I am a huge fan of this series! I read all three books when I was pregnant(almost 2 years ago). When I began the first book, I had no idea how quickly it would suck me in. I read it in a week. Honestly, I could not put it down. Those who know me, know I don't like to read. I know, I know those are dirty words coming out of a teacher's mouth, but they are honest.
When I really like a book, I tell everyone I know. Most of my family and friends read Harry Potter because I harassed them until they did. The Hunger Games was a harder sell. Non of my close friends started reading it till about a two weeks ago. Oh well, I love talking about it. I shush my children when the characters are being interviewed, and I would be in line to watch it at midnight tonight, but I don't have a sitter.
If you get a chance to see it, please post and tell me what you thought about the movie. If you've only read the books post about them too. I love to see what everyone thinks.
Happy Hunger Games.

     Just in case, you haven't read or heard anything about this awesome book; here is a short summary.
     The book takes place in a future time period in North America.  The 50 states no longer exist and the country is split up into 12 districts all which are repressed and controlled by the mighty Capitol. The main character, Katniss, is a 16 year old girl who volunteers as a tribute in the Hunger Games. This is all I will tell you. I don't want to spoil anything.
