The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins


I was SO anxious to read this book...I had heard so many students (and other librarians!) talking about it. I really enjoyed it! The subject matter made me a little not-so-sure about the book - people fighting each other to death? I wasn't sure if I wanted to read about that! But the book turned out to be so much more than that. I was immediately drawn into the world of Katniss and Peeta. I found it hard to put this book down. 

Happy Reading! If you read The Hunger Games, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it! :)

Rebecca Caudill

Did you read (or listen) to at least 3 of the 20 titles on the 2009 Rebecca Caudill list? If so ... then you are eligible to vote for your favorite book! Voting will take place during afternoon advisory on Tuesday, February 24th. Check the LMC News board within the next week or so for more information. 

I am also very excited because the Rebecca Caudill list for 2010 was just released. You can see the list on the Rebecca Caudill site. I served on the reader's advisory committee for this list - there are some great books that made it to the list!
