Just starting to read The Hunger Games by Collins.

It was a recommended book to my teen daughter and she just finished and really enjoyed it. It seemed like something I might like too.

Here's part of the summary:

UpûIn a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch.

Today I'm reading THE WILDER LIFE: MY ADVENTURES IN THE LOST WORLD OF LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE BY WENDY MCCLURE

Having loved the Alison Arngrin book, this is another fun read for me as an avid Little House fan.

Tell you more when I finish.
