pickA much needed book that takes us back to a fan favorite character and allows us to get a better understanding of why he is the way he is. This also takes a deeper looks at how fragile the system of the hungers games is and how hard the capital need to work to keep it in place for so long.
pickThis book is unique because I didn't cry while reading it, but I started crying later when I was thinking about it. It's a beautifully done magical realism about hard choices made in circumstances you didn't ask for. You're forced to think about what matters and who your village is. I've also never read such a vivid post-apocalyptic world.
pickElements felt heavy-handed (even for YA) in an attempt to tie up so much that arguably didn‘t need any more tying. That being said, the gruesome thought behind this series doesn‘t get easier to stomach with time. Poor Haymitch.
Off to rewatch the film series to see the implied connections. 🥹
pickThis book had me in tears throughout the entire work. I listened to the audiobook on Audible in a single listen-through one night because pausing it was not an option. the book itself was eye-opening with some of the current world events. This was my first full read of 2025.10/10

pickI've had this book on my TBR for years. Yesterday I happened to be looking for an #audiobook to start when I noticed Cinder just happened to be sitting there waiting for someone to pick it up. So pick it up I did, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Now on hold with Libby for book two.

pickListen to this mostly on a long drive this weekend. A haunting and original books. Narrator Chris has lost her wife Bo when Bo gives birth to their baby. Unfortunately in this timeline when you harm someone the government gives you an extra shadow as warning to others, so the baby gets one within minutes of being born. Unfortunately for The Kid Chris also has an extra shadow. What are they going to do without Bo?
Very well written with many 👇
When I checked this book out, the librarian said, "Where did you find that? I can't believe we have a copy in!" Then she realized it was my hold I'd gotten from the holds shelf. ? Two chapters in and I can see why my library has over 20 copies in circulation with a 10+ week wait on holds. I'm immediately hooked!
