Sara love, you're so lucky that get to read it for the first time ever! I'll be very invested and interested in your thoughts. I'm not sure if you've seen the movies, but imo, the books are better. 🏹💜

Oh len, that is so good, I'm envious! I wish I could read the series for the first time! Have you seen the movies or would you be going in without much knowledge? I loved the books in my adolescence. I will definitely be watching out for your thoughts if you get to it. Hope you love it! 💜

i’ve actually only seen the third movie. 😂 i saw it in the theater with my friends without having even watched the first two. i pretended i had because i wanted to hang out and go. i know, not the best choice but teen me was a people pleaser… anyway, i have forgotten it and don’t remember anything so i’d be going in blank regardless. i don’t remember who was who and what happened. obviously i didn’t even know what was happening.

Teen me was a people pleaser too, so can relate! Blank slate is awesome. I'll be intrigued to know your thoughts, especially since you can read it objectively without any nostalgic rose-coloured glasses biases (like I have). 😁

Haha, I can see what you mean. Perhaps I didn't use enough caps or exclamation marks, but trust me I am freaking out too!!!

When you can't tell if you're reading a Suzanne Collins book or reading the news 🥺


message 29: by Akankshya (new)

Akankshya I'm so excited for this one and at the same time, I can see how screwed up it is our world is broken in this way and Suzanne Collins's books of a dystopian world are so close to ours.

100% Akankshya ml. When the Hunger Games arena is less brutal than the current reality in a few countries. 🥺 I'm certain Suzanne is gonna ace this one.

I hear you. Panem can be intense. I'll let you know if it's worth braving Panem again, Zaynab ml! 🥰
