I really need to read Hunger Games, It seems like such a great book!

[saga]

You HAVE to read Hungergames! :)

[saga]

It's original and Katniss is such a strong person, there is love but not to much, it's a dystopian (always loved those) and IT IS JUST ADDICTIVE.

[Lori]

It's also the worldbuilding. Hunger Games is a terrifying yet possible alternate look at our future and is So Well Written, you sometimes forget it's just a book.

I'm have all three in the series, and am hoping to get to them in the beginning of January. I've heard such great things about these books!

Its sooo good! Read it! Like Lori said, the worldbuilding is amazing...its just grabs u right in! I had to read all three back to back!

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I did, too. Finished one and started the other right away...of course, she wrote them so you'd almost have to do that the way she left you hanging at the end of each book.

[Michelle]

I'd also cast a vote for The Hunger Games as well as The Help. Right now, I'm reading which is pretty good as well.

[Beatrice]

I nominate Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

[Janina]

I vote for also
