I didn‘t forget about your request @bellabella ! I‘m a big Hunger Games fan but this one stumped me for a bit! Working on some from the other movies. 💙
Love lit the fuse that
set the girl on fire, brought
Panem to its knees.

pickSuzanne Collins is a phenomenal writer! I adored every page of getting to know Snow and understand why he is the way he is. It was fascinating! Can‘t wait to read about Haymitch next!

Finally getting round to starting this! ❤️
panI was not a fan the first time I read this. I reread it to see all the connections with the new Sunrise prequel, and though I enjoyed the Covey ties, I‘m still not a fan. I feel like the book is way too long, and yet somehow she rushed the ending. My least favorite of the series, though it does give an interesting perspective from the Capitol. Snow is such a deeply selfish person, but I do think Dr. Gaul is an incredible villain.

President Snow‘s backstory. Particularly happy I procrastinated on this one, finally reading it after completing the newest installment, Sunrise on the Reaping.
pickThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” by Suzanne Collins 🎧
I am usually not particularly fond of villain origin stories. But I enjoyed this book. It raised questions of choices, and of being too much inside own‘s head. The descent from sincerity into selfishness felt a little too steep to me. Music is a central theme in this book. This book gave a lot of context to what happened in the original trilogy and made sense of certain obsessions.
pickThis remains my favorite of the series. Life after the first games, the increased political subterfuge, and the return of so many wonderful characters, all make for a great read. It absolutely holds up on rereading and now hits even harder after reading Sunrise on the Reaping.
#sundayfunday worse than movie tie in covers for me are when there is a sudden change in cover design midway through a series that I'm buying.
pickThis was better than I thought it‘d be. I disliked the ending most; I always felt like Mockingjay‘s ending was rushed, and this felt similar. Still a good read if you like the Hunger Games books!
