My New Favorite Book

Mine's The Hunger Games....what's YOUR new favorite book?

I've already put a hold request on Mockingjay, the last book in the trilogy, and it won't be out until 8/24/10. I like to be prepared, and I have to find out what happens to Katniss.

They are going to make this book into a movie:  who would make a good Katniss?  Who would make a good Rue? 

Lots of thanks to Michelle C. for recommending this book to me!
