Welcome to Litsy!

Re-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.

So 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.

“District 12: Where you can starve to death in safety.”

The Hunger Games makes you think about if you lived in a society like that and what you would do in those situations.

The 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 “draft” 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! 📚 #Two4Tuesday

1️⃣ Not particularly a fan of either genres, but I have read more Post-Apocalyptic books, so I choose that one.

2️⃣ The tagged trilogy; Basic, I know. 😂 And some may not even consider it as such. Also, The Giver series as well.

What book have read more than once?

Off the top my head: Hunger Games and Fallen

Reread this trilogy after 8 years. It was a much more difficult read this time around, especially Mockingjay.

Recommend me some dystopian books 💜 Love hunger games and divergent

Took to reading these when the kids were teens. Enjoyed the reads and then follow up movie watching with my kids.

I 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5

The 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 ☺️
2. Felix Ever After 😍
3. Katniss Everdeen, she can be so annoyingly dense sometimes 🤦🏼‍♀️
4. Cooler temps that allow me to break out the dress-with-tights wardrobe 💃🏼

this 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)

At last!

Day 4 of #LitsySummerCamp: I‘m pretty sure my favorite literary character Katniss Everdeen would be teaching the archery 🏹 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. 🤷🏻 🔵⚫🔴🐦🐍

#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.

#Bird #CuriousCovers

The Hunger Games was the first thing that came to mind with today‘s prompt.

@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I‘d recommend this to any teenager into dystopian future books.

“Make sure they remember you.”

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! 😂 #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

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 time😅😅
The book in the pic is Catching Fire.

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.

I loved this! A lot of people have said that it was predictable, maybe we just read differently, but I was thrown for quite a few loops. I would love a follow up during the 74th Hunger Games from the Capitol‘s/Snow‘s perspective. Maybe follow Tigris a bit, I‘d like to see exactly how they fell out.

3 💫💫💫 I found this boring and predictable probably because I loved Catness as the main character in the past novels.

5 ⭐️ for all books in the trilogy
🤍 Managed to track these guys down on eBay after forever dying over bookstagram photos of them 🤍
Are there any special edition covers that you‘ve managed to get your hands on or are still on the hunt for?

🚨HELP🚨
So I really want to read the tagged book but I‘m also debating rereading the trilogy first. It‘s technically the first book in the series and happens before we meet Katniss and Peta. Can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me what they recommend?

#hungergames #prequel

Ok I still can't believe it took me so long to read these phenomenal books. After finishing the series I was still in panem reliving certain scenes and feelings. I loved the first book and Katniss selflessly volunteering for her Prim. And poor Rue I cried more for her when katniss and peeta visited district 11 and they all gave her the 3 finger salute I lost it 😭 Oh and Peete how I heart thee! The second book and all the new characters⬇️⬇️

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 “May the odds be ever in your favor” #hungergames #pandemichumor #keeplitsypositive

“I find myself in the position of having to console them. Since I‘m the person going in to be slaughtered, this is somewhat annoying”. I love Katniss so much! My Thirteen year old said “Mom, you HAVE to read this”! And she was right...the books are awesome. The movies are good but there is so much more to know!

Just thought this was funny! 😂😂😂
