Spoiler Time Sunday: Sunrise on the Reaping

‘It’s like they’ve tried to bring the whole outdoors indoors. Why? Is opening a door and walking through it too much trouble? Fools and their money are soon parted, Ma would say.’

Hello, tributes! 🥲

Or do you prefer, hello, dearies!

Yes, that sounds better. 😆

It is a month since the release of Sunrise on the Reaping (The Hunger Games Book 0.5), and you know? It is time for some spoilers because I have seen some questions online that truly call for me to answer them, because come on!

On the one side, do you really want to know that? And on the other hand? I hope that these questions are being asked by someone who didn’t read the book because it is pretty straightforward.

Or at least, if you like The Hunger Games, if you know about Haymitch, and if you paid attention you can have your own interpretation of the book, as I did.

So, it is Sunday and it is time for some spoilers.

(Also I’m not going to give away all the main bits of the book), but some major facts.

What Sunrise on the Reaping could be like

March, 18 is getting closer each day and we expect Sunrise on the Reaping to be epic.

Hello, dearies! 🌄

As you know Sunrise on the Reaping, The Second Quarter Quell or the book about Haymitch Abernathy that we have been waiting for since we read The Hunger Games, will be released this month. But what could it be like? 🤔

Now, I have not read excerpts, many quotes, or nothing major about the book beyond the fact that it is about Haymitch, I mean when I saw the news last year that was all I needed to be convinced of reading this one. But can it live up to the hype?

The Odds are in our Favor: The Second Quarter Quell is Coming

“Stay alive.”

Hello, dearies! Welcome! I have news! 📚

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel) Book has been announced, which will be dedicated to the Second Quarter Quell, and we all know who won that one, right?

No? Okay, it was Haymitch, he was the victor of the 50th Hunger Games (or Second Quarter Quell) which is a different type of games, they always do a special one as they did on the 75th Hunger Games (Book 2: Catching Fire) where only the previous victors from each district would participate, this was how Katniss ended up again in the arena.

This might a little late, but this post is full of spoilers if you haven’t watched the movies, read the book, or do not know about the history of Panem.

THG: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Movie

Oh dear… get ready for this one. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Movie is in theaters now.

Here we go…

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Hello, dearies! 🐍

I didn’t think my expectations were high, but they kind of were, I suppose.

Today, I watched The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. And you might remember what I thought of this prequel, and how it was not a 5-star for me.

I’m not going to talk about the acting, or the choices in casting. I gave up on that long ago.

But as a reader, I understood what was happening, but my sis went with me, and after the 10th Hunger Games, she had no idea what was happening 🤔 or where the transition was, it was confusing.
