Kerri Miller's book pick is 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins. Kerri said she felt she had to read it.

"Every time we've done a book show, so many listeners recommended it," she said. "With the movie coming out, it was time to get with the program."

The New York Times called the young adult novel, in which a group of children are forced to fight to the death in an annual competition, "brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced."

The film version comes out on March 23.
