Hunger Games

I'm excited to read this series of books because I've had a few different people suggest them to me. The two most common words my friends have used to describe the story are "good and disturbing." Sounds like my kind of book! I went to the library to see if they had it and both copies were checked out. The librarian told me I could ask to put the book on reserve and they would give me a call when it was checked back in and available. She also mentioned that there were 47 other people on the reserve list before my name! Must be a good book... or a lot of disturbing people are reading more these days. Since there is no real commitment when reserving (it's free and if I don't feel like picking it up when it's my turn they'll let someone else have it) I agreed to put my name on the list. That day Jake and I had taken our bikes to the library so I hadn't brought my purse which meant I didn't have my library card. The librarian offered to just look up my account on her computer and reserve the book for me. I told her my name but she couldn't find me in their system. I thought that was weird and then she told me that the library could have purged my account if I hadn't used it in over a year. How sad is that!!?? I haven't checked anything out from the library in over a year! But did the librarian really have to use the word purge? Yuck. So now Hunger Games is on reserve under Jake's account. He's a regular at the library and that's just one of the many reasons I love him!
