One day last spring, I was walking around my classroom when I spotted a book left on the back table by one of my students. It had been there for a while, so I figured he/she had forgotten it and thought it'd be nice to return it to the school library for him/her. I read the back of the book, then the inside cover, then the first page...and I couldn't stop! The book:
The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. I took that book everywhere with me for the next week- and asked the school librarian to give me the fine instead of whoever had checked it out. She just laughed and said she'd erase the fine for the poor student. Since then, I've been a big Hunger Games fan!
Our city library hosted a Hunger Games party in anticipation for the third book which comes out shortly. Since my friend Danielle is also a fan, we went together. They gave us a card with different stations listed that we had to pass off (taken from the book) such as archery, knot tying, plant identification, cupcake decorating, camouflage, and more! We had so much fun!
I got the first book in May (thanks to a gift card), Travis surprised me on his birthday with the second book, and he pre-ordered the final one for me, which comes out next week! I'm so excited!
I'm a big Hunger Games fan! Looks like a fun party! I need to get my name on the hold list at our library for the new book ! I'm so excited to see how the series ends!
ReplyDeleteToday! Today! It comes out today!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool what your city library did. My sister-in-law was telling me about the book before the second one came out but I had a lot of books on my list to read so I put it off. I bought the 1st and 2nd with a Barne's and Noble giftcard and was addicted!
