A brutal, vicious read about a competition where there can only be one survivor. Katniss Everdeen is a reluctant tribute in the 74th Hunger Games, volunteering to take the place of her younger sister.

The first novel in the worldwide bestselling series by Suzanne Collins!

Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begun. . . .

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games...

7 Times YA Books Came to the Rescue in Pop Culture

While being stuck in the 1990s often trips up the titular heroine of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, sometimes her time-capsule-esque knowledge comes in handy. One of the best moments in the Netflix series comes when Kimmy uses her love of the Baby-Sitters Club to undermine her employer’s stepdaughter, sullen teen Xanthippe. While trying to fit in with her hard-partying friends, Xanthippe […]

7 Ideas for Your Book-Themed Halloween Party

7 Ideas for Your Book-Themed Halloween Party

Here’s my idea of a book-themed party: everybody brings a novel. We read in front of a roaring fire while it’s raining outside. Nobody talks. Nobody dog-ears any pages. There’s food, maybe.
