Hunger Games- Suzanne Collins

Sixteen-year-old Katniss is smart, athletic, and fast. She can take down a rabbit with a bow and arrow, hitting it straight through the eye. Will these skills be enough to survive the Hunger Games?

A book filled with love, betrayal, desperation, and an extreme cliffhanger, it definitely left me hungering for the next book (pun intended). This is the story of a young girl, trying to save her sister, herself, having love, finding a new love, and most of all losing everything she ever had, all in the name of a Game. The Hunger Games.

Fire by Kristin Cashore

This is the sequel (prequel) to Graceling.

This is the story of Fire. She is the last of her kind...

It is not a peaceful time in the Dells. In King City, the young King Nash is clinging to the throne, while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him. War is coming. And the mountains and forest are filled with spies and thieves. This is where Fire lives, a girl whose beauty is impossibly irresistible and who can control the minds of everyone around her.

This book is romantic to the core. A spellbinding tale, definitely a must-read. I can't wait for the next installment "Bitterblue", no word of when that will be released...... soon, I hope!
