Blog Entry
Right now I am not reading any specific book; the only book that I am reading is our class book “Where the Red Fern Grows”. My most recent reading experience is the “Bones” series. I have no idea why I read those books but, they were pretty good.

Suzanne Collins Quotes
"I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now, and live it forever." I think Suzanne is trying to say that she is very thankful for being an author, and having so many books sold. Next, "May the odds ever be in your favor." I think Suzanne is trying to say that she wants things to be the best for us.
"Hope is the only thing stronger than fear." I think Suzanne is trying to tell us to have hope, because hope can conquer fear.

Some interesting things I have learned about Suzanne Collins are that she had to move many times when she was young. I also never knew that she was married to an actor, and as the writer of the “Hunger Games” Trilogy she sold 50 million copies!
