@SBFChickenGirl and I are going to be running a read along, using the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The hunger games is a dystopian fiction/YA novel that is the first book in The Hunger Games trilogy. Here's the copypasted description:
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weight survival against humanity and life against love.
We're only going to read the first book, but if it goes well we can try reading the others. If you've already read the book you can totally join!!!! We don't have a start date yet. I want to give people sufficient time to find copies in libraries and such. What will happen is that every few days or so (exact length of time TBD) we'll have an assigned chapter to read, then we can chat about it!
Post in the thread below when you think we should start and how long we should have for each chapter!
