when it comes to books, i'm sort of picky. but when i find a book i love, i really really love it.
there are several novels i've read and really enjoyed, but i LOVE finding a great series. i grew up as a huge Harry Potter fan from the time i was 8 years old (before they started making the movies and everyone else started loving it too), and then in high school i found the Twilight Saga (i'll admit, i was a little late to that party.)
recently i've become hooked on Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy.
book 1 is The Hunger Games, and it's one of those stories that's kind of hard to explain, but i'll try my best without giving away too much of the story.
it's set in the ruins of North America which have now become 12 districts all ruled by a Capitol city. every year each district is required to send 2 tributes between the ages of 12 and 18 to an arena where they're forced to compete in the annual Hunger Games. they have to kill each other off until only 1 tribute remains and becomes the victor.
this book was awesome. i loved it.
they're making it into a movie, too.. so i can't wait for that! fingers crossed that Kristen Stewart doesn't get cast as Katniss.. because if she does, she'll ruin it just like she did Twilight.
