Now on to what I'm reading at the moment:currently I'm reading - 'The Hunger games':here's a quick description of what its about and how it starts: Suzanne Collins' trilogy sucks you in almost instantaneously, as the story takes place in North America, long after the United States has fallen and the rest of the world has fallen with it.
The US has been replaced by Panem, a nation composed of a capitol and 13 districts, though the story begins with only 12. 75 years prior to the story, District 13 stepped too far out of line, and the Capitol bombed it into oblivion.
We first find the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, poaching in the woods with her best friend Gale. Hunting at all in any of the districts is illegal, but the Capitol doesn't care too much about Katniss' home of District 12, a poor mining community. Poaching is what keeps food on the Everdeen's table, as well as many other prominent tables in town. After all, poaching is illegal for the mayor and the Peacekeepers as well.
Enter the Games
The first book begins the day of the Reaping, the first part of the Hunger Games.
