The Hunger Games

This month we will be reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (and look, I made the blog match the book cover, sort of). Trudy Bainter picked it out for us and I am really excited about it. I've been wanting to read this, my sister-in-law, who also has a book club in her ward, always suggests good reads to me and this was one of them.

Here is a little teaser intro for what the book is about.

In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch.

Sound interesting? Well, pick up a copy at the local library, or see if someone might already have it and borrow it from them. Enjoy!

P.S. I heard there are plans to make this book into a movie! Also, Alecia and I would like to know how book club went last night since we both weren't able to make it. So we may corner someone. :)
