Thanks to Dani who recommended this book to me. I loved it! It's a quick read because it's not very long but it's also a pageturner. The downside - it's the first book of a trilogy and the second book doesn't come out until Sept 1st. Anyways, it's set in the future and each of twelve districts is required to send a teenage boy and girl every year to these Hunger Games in which all 24 contestants have to fight to the death until there is only one left. All the games are televised as entertainment. It's really an intruiging world. There is action, romance, and a desperate struggle for survival. It might not be as captivating as the Twilight series was, but I do predict you'll be hearing more about this one.
I'm always looking for more recommendations for a new book! Let me know if you've read anything good lately.

I have read The Hunger Games. I absolutely loved it! It’s one of my favorite books. I wrote a review (http://jennielyse.com/the-hunger-games-by-suzanne-collins/) if you want to read it. I borrowed it from the library in January and loved it so much that I had to get it. It's so good, huh? I'm glad you loved it!
You should read Graceling by Kristin Cashore too. It's almost just as good.
