pickWow! I loved learning Haymitch‘s story. It was powerful and really brought a lot to the series. Heartbreaking but highly recommended. Great on #audio , I had to finish in 3 days to return and it was so good ghat it was easy to do. Encouraged me to get most of the Christmas decorations down while I listened.
pickSnow falls on top. I‘m such a Hunger Games fan and the varying plot arcs in this had me hooked the entire time? Dr Gaul heads the hubger games with capitol student mentors, which is where snow meets his songbird love, Lucy Gray Baird. The relationship and character building (sejanus, Ma, Grandmaam, Tigris, etc) along with surprising twists is phenomenal and the story had me humming “the hanging tree” the entire time.
pickI get why everyone loves this book.
The fast‑paced, dark dystopian saga continues. Rebellion pits against oppression - the exact reason why I loved the original story.
The emotional intensity, bleak atmosphere, and high‑stakes drama kept me engaged and I finished this in two sittings.
In short:
Hamish's redemption and a true testament that Snow really doesn't have a heart.

March‘s favorite was Sunrise on the Reaping. This made for an incredible edition to the series, and I will read whatever this woman wants to teach us about the dangers of government.

For April, the tagged is an easy pick. I really liked a couple of other books, but I loved this prequel. Even though we know the ending, I still got swept up in all the emotions of the story. #12booksof2025 @TheEllieMo

If this one hadn‘t been head to head against the Women, it may have lasted longer on my grid! So so good! @TheEllieMo
March favorite. So good! #12booksof2025
pickI can‘t believe I finished it! Maybe my super-slump is over. I really enjoyed Sunrise on the Reaping. It was so heartbreaking. As always, when reading a Hunger Games book. 5/5⭐️
pickHow does she think this stuff up? The cruelty. But the recurring family storylines are fascinating and of course a story about Haymitch brings Woody Harrelson‘s great character to mind. I should read these all back to back again. Great storytelling!
