The Hunger Games

Twilight will always be our first love (in book terms) - but we also love The Hunger Games by Suzzane Collins. We just found this cool new blog called The Hob which is a fan site devoted to Suzanne Collins and The Hunger Games trilogy. Make sure you check it out if you are a fan of the books. Team Peeta!!!!

Fan Encounter with Peter

The daughter of one of our TwilightMOM friends went to see Peter in Sandusky. She even took her mom along on a stick - we love this photo, Lily is so cute.

Lily got to meet Peter twice and so did her mom on the second visit. We hear that Peter recognised Lily and gave her plenty of hugs - we are only slightly jealous.

What am I reading?

After having lunch with Chaske Spender yesterday, I was curious to find out more about a new movie that he is due to star in called Winter in the Blood (a movie based upon the first novel of James Welch which was first published in 1974). Chaske was so passionate while he was talking about the story that I had to learn more.

Winter in the Blood is a novel about the modern life of an American Indian. This novel takes a look at Indians through the eyes of someone who has lived this life and knows it better than most writers of this novel type. The plot follows the plight of a young man who has lost his sense of identity due to his heritage, family secrets, and the death of his brother. The young man accidentally discovers some truths about his family's past and this information finally frees him to discover the man he really is. It is a novel full of truth and hope. bookrags

I have decided to read the book before it's made into a movie and I will post my review in the coming months. To follow the process of this move visit the Facebook page or blog.

Happy reading ~ Kelly
