TBT: The Hunger Games [THG Book 1]

“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.”

Hello, dearies!

Happy Hunger Games!

That’s not it, I mean, hello, it’s been a while, and welcome to a new Throwback Thursday!

Have you read The Hunger Games trilogy? Or book 1: The Hunger Games?

It can be confusing when talking about it.

I have read it but one time, and it was enough for me. I did like it, of course, and I was surprised because I first hadn’t wanted to read because of how Katniss says things, her POV and voice were a bit strange for me at first.

But I got used to it.

I have a full review for all three books in the trilogy here on the blog. But, today is the Throwback Thursday of THG because it’s been so long since I read this book, and because I felt like rambling a bit about it.

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.

Sunrise on the Reaping: Book Review [The Hunger Games 0.5]

The book about everything that happened in The Hunger Games, and how it started here with Haymitch and was 24 years in the making.

Hello, dearies! 📚

It’s been a while since I read a book so fast, and fresh out of the oven. But here we are.

It was easy reading Sunrise on the Reaping, and going back to the Capitol, Panem, District 12, even when it was not shown all that much, and discovering how they wanted everything to fit and explain The Hunger Games and the plots that unraveled there.

That’s pretty much it. The end. 😅 Just kidding, sort of.

Let me show you what this book was like, considering that we wanted to know what happened to Haymitch Abernathy, and we sure did. 🫠

And yes, there will be spoilers all over this post, like I will assume you want to know or you have finished reading the book, too.

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?

Book Challenge: The Timeline Book Quest

“The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.”

Hello, dearies! 🍁

Here we are with a new challenge, at this point I should make a blog page solely for the book challenges, I have quite a few now. Should I?

Why not? 😆

shouldn't i keep it

Anyway, you can check out the new page of the blog with all book challenges listed on here: Book Challenges.

Created and inspired by this post.

Maybe I should I explain what this book challenge is about, I have rambled on enough. The Timeline Book Quest is about the books I have read and their years of publication or rather a list of years and checking if I read a book from that year. Let’s check it out.

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.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes – Book Review of the Prequel to The Hunger Games.

World: Panem

Author: Suzanne Collins

Prequel to The Hunger Games

Listen to it: Book Chat with Me

For the book review of The Hunger Games, check out that link you just passed, back, there you go, that one. 🙂

Now, let’s get this party started, beginning as usual (almost usual) with my thoughts as I read the book. It was not easy to stop and jot down some thoughts while reading this one, especially because it was my first time reading on my phone, on Amazon Kindle, but I made it work, and the note thing on Kindle made it much easier. Though I was saving up ‘quotes’ too, so bear with me.
