Suzanne Collins
A Book Exchange Booth!
Visiting the William Jewell campus for a Christmas concert, I came across this:
I’d seen pictures of ones in New York City, and was thrilled to see the idea had caught on here in a small Midwest town. If I’d had a book on hand, I’d have totally done an exchange. Still it was fun riffling through the offerings: Suzanne Collins, Janet Evanovich, Maria Schriver, John Grisham, and tons of authors I’d never heard of.
Have you ever seen one of these? And what book would you leave in a book exchange booth?
Speak up:

I feel like I’m one of the few people who did not get to go see The Hunger Games this weekend. Even my brother went to the Midnight Opening . . . my brother!
So today, knowing that there will be a wash of blog posts and tweets exclaiming how much they loved it, I am simply going to plug my ears and pretend I can’t hear you.
Because even though I may have read the books, I don’t want to hear too much about the movie before I’ve seen it. I like to be surprised.
It’s an -ism. I totally admit that.
I’m the same way with books. I don’t want to hear anything beyond the blurb before I read. Unlike my mom who actually skips to the end to read that first. Crazy.
So how about you? Do you read the ending first? Or do you prefer the blank slate method?
