Well, this is it! My 100th post. To celebrate, I’m having a contest so help spread the word. Answer these two questions to be entered to win the following wonderful prizes. If your name is drawn you’ll win a MP3CD Audiobook of both I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have To Kill You by Ally Carter and Born To Rock by Gordon Korman.
So, here are the questions:
1) What connection does Ally Carter have to Oklahoma? (I’m from Oklahoma so this was interesting to learn about her.)
2) What is the new Scholastic series that Gordon Korman has been signed to write called?
If you want to be entered into the drawing a second time, post about this contest on your blog. Send me the link to the specific post along with your answers to the trivia questions to karinlibrarian@gmail.com by Thursday, September 4th at Midnight.
HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins
In the nation of Panem, formerly known as North America, the Capitol rules the twelve outlying districts harshly. Because of a past uprising, the Capitol requires each district to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games – a fight to the death broadcasted on live TV.
When Katniss hears her twelve-year-old sister’s name called to serve for their district in the Games, she doesn’t hesitate to volunteer herself to go in her place. Katniss resolves herself to the idea that she will never see her family again.
Once Katniss is transported to the Capitol with the male counterpart from her district, she is put through several days of rigorous training before being thrown into the unknown landscape of the competition.
The HUNGER GAMES is a mix between The Lottery, The Most Dangerous Game, and Stephen King’s The Running Man. Heartpounding action runs throughout the entire book. You’ll be holding on to the edge of your seat until you find out who survives this barbaric form of governmental control.
I just finished reading The Hunger Games. It is the best book it have ever read! I couldn’t put it down!
I read the book and all that I can say is… amazing. when I read the last page I just couldn’t belive it the feeling that you got inside your chest is so strong so big that you can’t wait to get the other one to see what will happen in the end. It’s just breathtaking, unbelievable, heartbreaking.

i heard they were making a movie for it and i wanted to play as Prim. She is 12 in the book, and im 13, she as blonde hair and fair skin with blue eyes,exactly like me.
I really wish to play as her. It would be my dream come true!!!!! i cant wait til the second book.I am obsessed already, i feel like im in Panem!!!
OMG. Hunger Games is brilliant. I haven’t gotten this excited over a book in forever. My stomach was actually clenching with emotion and fear for Katniss when i was reading it. I can’t wait until i get Chasing Fire, which living an hour out of town makes very tricky. I should get by monday though if Big W has it. Fingers crossed.
