June Book Club (updated)

Hello Book Clubbers,

This month’s book club will be June 24th @ 7. Put it on the calendar now, and plan that Lake Powell trip around it. ;)

This book is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I haven’t read it yet but it has excellent reviews. I’ve seen it recommended on several blogs and also by Stephanie Meyer. Looks intriguing and suspenseful.

Here’s a little synopsis: 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.

Happy reading!
