The Hunger Games (Series) - Suzanne Collins

I finally listened to all the people telling me that I needed to read the Hunger Games.  I absolutely loved the book and the rest of the series.  This story is about a dystopia in which the government oppresses the citizens with the Hunger games, in which 2 children from each district are sent to fight to the death.  The books are cleverly written and each chapter tends to drop off with a shocking revelation that leads you wanting more.  My favorite was the 2nd book and that had to do more with the development of Katniss' resolution to her problems as well as plenty of surprises along the way.

These books were quick reads and definitely written in a way that had you desiring more.  I love the transition of her feelings for each person in her life as things progress from book to book and chapter to chapter.  It seemed to mirror reality where in life we change based on our situations.

Anyways I highly recommend this book and hope that you will all give it a chance even though the subject matter can be depressing.

Yours Truly,

Krystal

Office Pranks

Oh you got to love going on vacation just to come back to work in tin foil.  No joke, my coworkers carefully tin foiled everything in my cubicle.  My favorite was the phone....here are some pics.
