The past couple of days I have taken a break from blogging and have been entranced in an incredible book series called   The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I am recommending this series to my Bargains In Buckhead followers as a great holiday read, book club recommendation or a great gift under $10. I honestly liked these books a lot more than the Twilight series and not these are not Vampire books but they are found in the Young Adult section. Apparently Hollywood loves these books as much as I do and has recently scooped up the rights of this series to turn them into Blockbuster hits. If you are fan of a little romance, suspense and adventure will like these books…. I powered through the first book on my Kindle in less than two days and immediately had to start reading the second book Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games) I unfortunately had to overpay at the bookstore (since it was not available on the Kindle) to get the second book, so let me save you some time and money on your holiday books shopping. Amazon.Com is currently offerering both of these books for around $10 a piece. You are getting major savings here on the second book “Catching Fire” which I just paid $19. And don’t forget Amazon has got a huge USED book selection to help you further stretch the dollar.

Recently read a book that you could not put down? Post a comment below and share your favorite book titles with us.

Show Synopsis

 This three-actor gem of a show highlights the notable virtuosity of an acting trio as they create, with great bombast and bravado, a well-delineated cast of over twenty characters between them.  The show provides giddy games of gender, identity, reality and theatricality, all within the framework of the music hall at its early height in 1843.  This happens to be the year that Charles Dickens wrote his potboiler of a morality tale to make a quick quid.

The site and era of this wickedly fun satire fast forwards to a tatty establishment in Victorian England – Her Majesty’s Promenade Grand Theatre, All Saints-on-the-Wash, Blackpool.  The Royal Music Hall’s twenty-member Variety Players presentation of their beloved musical melodrama “A Christmas Carol” becomes seriously hampered by seventeen of the players falling victim to food poisoning.  It would make Dickens, The Bard and every other thespian of repute proud to know that the diminished players opt for “the show must go on.”  As the action to do so is ignited, in the truest sense of the overused phrase…hilarity ensues!

WHEN:
December 3 – 27, 2009
Thursday through Saturday 8 p.m.
Sunday 2 p.m.

TICKETS:
$36.50
