The Hunger Games by Suzanne CollinsI got the recommendation for this book from Stephenie Meyer (go figure!). Let me tell you, it is so very good. Extremely addicting and it had me on the edge of my seat. The excerpt says this:
Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.
At the end of the book (don't worry, no spoilers) it says End of Book One, so my guess is there is a sequel coming out and I can't wait to see how it continues! This is a must read!

I'm always on the look out for a new book. Thanks! I'll have to see if it's in the library.
