Whyisa and my friend Paula, within days of each other, both recommended The Hunger Games to me last week. I started the first book on Sat evening and was done with it within 24 hours. i am OBSESSED with it. Not highbrow lit but a compelling well told story that sucks you in immediately. I had not heard about the movie etc, but have since seen the trailer and am looking forward to the movie. I hate fiction because it makes me stay up late and monopolizes all of my time.
That was another middle school book. We had the author come talk at the middle school two years ago. It’s like the Twilight series, they have definite followings. Different strokes for different folks.
Oh I didn’t know there was a movie coming.
If you think it takes up time just reading it ...
My daughter has recently dumped her Twilight posters, and is equally obsessed with The Hunger Games books. I suppose that means I will have to become part of that universe as well.
Yeah, I saw that recommendation. Then my nieces recommended it to me. Seems they all got the Kindle Fire and were already into the series before that. My one niece is finishing up her masters, so she has limited time to read for pleasure, but she had already downloaded the second book in the series to her new kindle and was reading on Christmas day. She left it in her car when she got to Grandma’s. Left it there so she wouldn’t read and be rude. LOL Seems everyone got a Kindle Fire.....I recall telling them all about the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet on Thanksgiving. There were lots of questions and interest....then on Christmas I find out they all got them...parents and children alike. LOL Didn’t know I had that much influence.
