Another book down...

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.....

Needless to say I was enthralled.  I read this book before I went to sleep....thought about the story as I laid in bed and wanted to read it the second I woke up. 
I haven't been this passionate about reading a book since - maybe either the Outlander series or The Inheritance Cycle.  Side note - Inheritance is now out and my book will be arriving next week!!!

The story takes place in the future in a city called Panem that's made up of 12 different districts. Set in what used to be considered the Rockies of North America.  As punishment for the district's rebellion many years ago - each district must send one boy and one girl to a tournament to the death in which there is only one survivor. 

Unexpectedly the main character Katniss finds herself District 12's female contestant along with the District 12's male contestant Peeta.  So how will the two fair as they say goodbye to their families and try to survive the deadly games against the other district competitors.....

So if you haven't read the book - read it.  I give it two thumbs up and have ordered the next two books in this trilogy.  If you like action, adventure, romance and a lil sci-fi then this is your kinda story.....
