For the Holidays the class has to read the Hunger Games
I am very excited about this. I love the hunger games. I love books with some action in them yet a little romance. I love how the writer describes it well so you can picture it in your head. If you haven't read the hunger Games you really should. it's an amazing book and really worth reading. The book was published in september 2008. The book has received lots of positive feedback from authors like Stephenie Meyer the author of the Twilight series. The Hunger Games series has won many awards here are some of them:
