the hunger games is sososoososo good
Great list.
Some great books on this list.
I am FINALLY about to read The Hunger Games. I hope they’re as good as everybody says they are…
Thanks, I only wish I could read more! Beware of The Hunger Games: the first will blow your mind, the second will keep you entertained, but the third was an epic disappointment! Don’t read my reviews if you don’t want to be spoiled, but don’t say you weren’t warned!
