Books In Real Life
For my daughter's 10th birthday last May I bought her THE HUNGER GAMES. She loved it so much, that's all she talked about. When she learned there was a sequel, she just had to have it. So we bought it and again, that's all we heard about. At that point, I figured, I better take a look at this book. So I read the first two books in the series and fell in love. I talked about it so much my husband had to read them. Then my 12 year old daughter got involved. When MOCKING JAY came out we pretty much fought over who was going to read it first. (I won, since I read the fastest.) But that's not what my blog post is about. Not really. It's about the impact of good books in real life. Ever since we read THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy, we've adopted Katniss Everdeen's "Hollow Days" saying. Whenever someone in our family is super hungry now, and no amount of food will fill us, it is called a Hollow day. My children say it often. Very often.
