Just a way to keep track because I have this habit of reading more than one book at once.

I am currently reading this book. I originally heard about from other nerdfighters on youtube or reading blogs and when I was taking my usual walk through chapters, yes i do this a lot, I saw the book and couldn't resist getting it. This story depicts a US of the future where twelve district are controlled by reality TV. The Hunger Games feature glamorous opening ceremonies, sponsorship, personal interviews and end in a fight to the death. Normally district 12 tributes do not receive much attention but this time it all changed when Katniss volunteers to take the place of her little sister Prim in the games and Peeta declares his loves for her during the interviews. This is what I think of reality TV, people sometimes making fools of themselves on TV for the sole entertainment of the viewers. This is basically the reason I refuse to watch all the reality TV shows produced nowadays. Where is the creativity? It is all the same formula, plus I do not find people making fools of thems
