"a home without books is a body without soul"

we want the walls of our home to be filled with books. lots and lots of books.

what an adorable/cleaver way to display kid books. those are ikea spice racks! 

our book club meeting for the month was held at my house and the book on discussion: the hunger games! (if you haven't read them yet, read them!) i was so excited for the girls to come over and chat about the best book series ever, that i even had little parachute's with a gift attached to the bottom as favors... a little obsessed? maybe. we did manage to squeeze in time to choose the book for the month of june:

i've already seen the movie so i know the story line, but i am excited to read this book! i've heard very different opinions on it, so reading it and being able to form my own will be fun.

while i was at barnes and noble picking up a copy, i saw the section for 'employee picks' and was interested to see what books were selected. so... i got this.

the description on the book reads, 

"a rousing adventure story in the tradition of the hunger games." 

now, i haven't read it yet so i am hoping that it is as thrilling as i want it to be.
