Hungry for the Games

I’m a little late to the bandwagon for a certain series of books

But sometimes when I hear about how great things are I feel like that I want to rebel and staying far away from the things I hear people RAVE about

Reading the Twilight series – yes it was bad writing but it hooked me in and had introduced me to the world of vampires (which has now been taken over by TRUE BLOOD, anyone else DYING for the next season?) and Robert Pattinson who looks hotter as a human (just saying)

Soft Serve Bananas – yummmmmmmm

Spinach in Smoothies – can’t get enough

The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo series – desperate to see that movie!

And as for putting PB in oatmeal – wish I hadn’t done that and I’m officially nowhere near the wagon for that one – YUCK!

But after reading review after review about The Hunger Games, I put the set of books on my Christmas list and casually mentioned to Dave they were on sale at Costco

Then they were mine

And I read them in a week (and that’s only because I had to work during the day –uncalled for!)

Here is the summary of book one – my official favourite

Set in a dark vision of the near future, a terrifying reality TV show is taking place. Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live event called The Hunger Games. There is only one rule: kill or be killed. When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdee steps forward to take her younger sister’s place in the games, she sees it as a death sentence. But Katniss has been close to death before. For her, survival is second nature. 

Now I’m obsessively watching the trailer for the movie over and over

And texting and emailing everyone I know to see if they read the books and to discuss how hot Gale looks in the movie and how many days are left till March 23rd

So next time you are at a book store or the Library

Pick it up and I promise, you won’t put it down!

Love,
Your nerdy librarian
