I have been sick since Wednesday with a cold and even though I took half a day on Friday- i still ended up doing way too much instead of resting.
So today- I stayed in ALL day and decided to start reading The Hunger Games that i brought from the Book Depository last month. My good friend Erin told me to read it back in 2009, and i know i should- as an English teacher- read more Young adult literature. She raved about this series and said my kids would love it but I thought nothing could match the " Twilight" fever.
But, once I started reading I could not put it down and finished the whole thing before my hubby made it home from church. I found myself gasping out loud, laughing out loud, saying " No-are you kidding me!"- I just couldn't help myself! I wouldn't hesitate to suggest the book to anyone- however, the entire concept and violence might be disturbing for some. The book is on America's 100 banned books list but I am still going to try and convince my HOD to buy a class set as I think the kids will love it. YOU should read it to!
