nerd alert, I know

A few weeks ago I posted on facebook asking for good book suggestions. I got several good recommendations. But the one that was repeated was the 'Hunger Games'. my brother and his fiance read the books and both seemed to like them as well. So i decided to give it a shot.
I got online to see which Lexington Public Library had the first of the trilogy available. and NONE of them did. not only were they all checked out, they were all on reserve! a little annoying, but a good sign for the quality of the books.
So I bought the first one. which i don't usually do because I am so cheap. but i read the first one in almost a day. I was hooked from the first page. The next morning, I went to Target at 8am and bought the second. and a few days later, the third. because I could not wait to see what happened. I loved the series 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' but it took me about 150 pages to get into the first book. This series hooked me from the beginning and I literally could not put it down. I highly recommend them. They are different, but oh so addictive. Every few chapters I would tell Philip about what was going on, and he would come home and ask me ' so what is happening now?'. These aren't 'girly' books. boys will like them too.
There are movies being made, and I will watch them. but they will undoubtedly not be as good as the books. movies never are. 
I sent these books with my Mom to the beach and she is hooked as well. So i have all 3 if anyone would like to delve into them, and i think you should.

Thank you for those of you who suggested I read these books. I owe you:)
