Happy St Patrick's Day from N Ireland ๐๐โ๏ธ
pickPoignant well written villain story.
so-soThis is a prequel. It supposed to set up the later books. I loved the book until the last 20 pages where the author suddenly decided to change the trajectory of the book.
pickFinally got around to reading this and it was as good as I had expected
pickLoved this book! I hope the author writes one more between this and the hunger games.
pickA worthy set-up to the Hunger Games, and leaves us ready for a sequel.
pickThis is the last book in this series but the story is a pre-sequel, what happened before the Hunger Games, how and why these games were created. It is about who is Coriolanus Snow. The story is slow and repetitive, maybe this should be rated in Litsy as a so-so. But I still liked to know who was this character and how and why this world existed. For me was interesting. Snow....you born like that or you were raised like that?๐ค 3โญ๏ธ
pickHaving really enjoyed the original trilogy I thought I would give this a go before the movie came out. Overall I enjoyed it and felt it gave background to the previous books and the rise of Snow. I thought the end came quite quick. Like I‘d missed a chapter. Would have maybe liked a bit to the end but didn‘t ruin the overall enjoyment.
I‘ve finally got back into reading and I‘ve started with The Hunger Games trilogy. #audiobooks #hungergames #backtoreading
What books are in your book cellar?
I‘ve got:
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
Seasons of Chaos
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Chosen Ones
And more!
pickRe-read these in preparation for marathoning the movies with my husband this weekend. (He just read them for the first time so I‘m finally permitting him to see the films; it was important to me that he had the books‘ context first so he could fully appreciate the amazingness of Peeta while watching.)
At any rate, they really held up for me. I loved books one & two as much as the first time I read them & actually liked Mockingjay more this time.
pickSo I ended up reading the rest if the series back to back. I still feel the movies may not have done them justice. I think this hits different now that I have children and I am older. I imagine at 16/17 I would‘ve loved this series but I don‘t think I would‘ve appreciated it as well as I do now.

The Hunger Games makes you think about if you lived in a society like that and what you would do in those situations.
pickThe Hunger Games is a trilogy that follows a dystopian society with different districts in which humans are sacrificed due to overpopulation. They are drawn from a โdraftโ and chosen to compete in a series of games to kill one another. The last one standing is the victor and treated as royalty. The book encompasses speculative fiction as it involves characteristics that are do not exist in real life.
I actually like both, as long as they are done well, which is the important part. Post-apocalyptic can get too dark and that turns me off. If I end up thinking the best solution for the characters (and the readers) is for them to commit mass suicide, it‘s gone too far. As far as alt history, that walks a fine line between the actual history and being so original it‘s basically just an original story set in that time period.
Thanks for the tag, Lisa! ๐ #Two4Tuesday
1๏ธโฃ Not particularly a fan of either genres, but I have read more Post-Apocalyptic books, so I choose that one.
2๏ธโฃ The tagged trilogy; Basic, I know. ๐ And some may not even consider it as such. Also, The Giver series as well.
๐Who wants to play? @GingerAntics @slategreyskies @AkashaVampie @Kappadeemom
What book have read more than once?
Off the top my head: Hunger Games and Fallen
pickReread this trilogy after 8 years. It was a much more difficult read this time around, especially Mockingjay.

Recommend me some dystopian books ๐ Love hunger games and divergent
pickTook to reading these when the kids were teens. Enjoyed the reads and then follow up movie watching with my kids.
so-soI was really excited to read this and be submerged back into the Panem universe. On the whole the book was great and I‘d highly recommend for Hunger Games fans. Sadly I felt the ending totally let it down with a lack of detail presenting a rushed feeling.
pickโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ 3/5
pickThe first attempt at reading this book, I hated it. I bailed about halfway through. However, with my second attempt, I enjoyed it. Hated the main character still, he has no redeeming qualities but the story was good in a terrible way. It is a very bleak story.

1. Going to Merlefest, a bluegrass music festival, with my bf for his birthday. He got to see one of his favorite bands and was very pleased โบ๏ธ
2. Felix Ever After ๐
3. Katniss Everdeen, she can be so annoyingly dense sometimes ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
4. Cooler temps that allow me to break out the dress-with-tights wardrobe ๐๐ผ
so-sothis book is a prequel to the popular series The Hunger Games. It goes back in time before Snow became the president, Snow‘s family have been struggling with poverty from the war. As we read the story we follow along with Coriolanus‘ journey of being a mentor for the hunger games, we then meet his tribute, Lucy Gray, together they work to insure Lucy‘s win to save Lucy and give Coriolanus the money he needs to save his family. But after some (1)
Day 4 of #LitsySummerCamp: I‘m pretty sure my favorite literary character Katniss Everdeen would be teaching the archery ๐น lessons. In her free time she would hunt for the camps dinner. (After I realized it was an example: I also like Lightfoot-a unicorn- he will be giving rides, taking campers on trails, healing campers using his horn which doubles as a way to communicate with other unicorns).Thank you for another great day of camp @ImperfectCJ

Day 8: Circles
My pick is the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes which I haven't read yet. I'm waiting to see if there will be another book & I don't like to wait. ๐คท๐ป ๐ตโซ๐ด๐ฆ๐
#CuriousCovers Day 5: Bird
I was going to post a picture of The Goldfinch, but I forgot that I loaned my copy to a friend, so posting the next best option: all the books of the Hunger Games series. The mockingjay features prominently on the covers and in the plots of all three books.

The Hunger Games was the first thing that came to mind with today‘s prompt.
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickI‘d recommend this to any teenager into dystopian future books.
Today, I‘m sharing what I want to read this month and I‘ve decided that I want to continue with The Hunger Games Trilogy. I read the first book in 2015 and I liked it but I haven‘t read the last 2 books. I will be rereading the first book so I can finish this trilogy. I started rereading the first book tonight and I like it so far. I‘m looking forward to finally finishing this trilogy this year. I‘ve been putting it off for a long time.
This made me snort! ๐ #LitsyHumor
Just bought The Hunger Games. People tell me to read these so I thought I‘ll give it a go. #hungergames #catchingfire #mockingjay #theballadofsongbirdsandsnakes
#top20series #20series20days
Series number 15 is an obvious choice. Oh how I was gripped by these books!
Ever since I finished the new prequel of THG I can't stop re-reading the original trilogy ( especially my favorite one in the series- Catching Fire) even though I borrowed few books from the library that I should start reading if I want to return them on time๐
๐
The book in the pic is Catching Fire.
#20Series20Days @Andrew65
I read the first book back in high school to see what the hype was about, and I can why. I thoroughly enjoyed the trilogy. And you can't get a better star-crossed lover relationship than Katniss and Peeta.
