Easing my way through the ending just because it’s been really busy this week - otherwise I would’ve finished this a couple of days ago.

Nicholas Sparks is dat you - I just read a chunk that reminds me of my time reading his books. Maybe a dash of John Green.

These two were kinda interesting before but now they’re stressing me out.

Gosh, you can’t trust anyone in this world of 1984. I hope that’s not the world we’ll come to.

The amount of brainwashing that’s present in this book is lowkey terrifying.

The amount of times I’ve felt my heart stop from shock due to the insane lore dropped from this dystopian novel proves to show the reasons why this book is banned in some countries. But let me hear more; I gotta know how it ends.

Gosh where was Madge in the movies

I’m in love with these characters. I see the movie in my head when I read but I’m getting so much more detail that’s making me love this world even more. I hate that it took me so long to read this series; I love it 😩

Tbh I didn’t think I’d like this one but now I can’t stop reading. It’s honesty mid but also I gotta know what happens.

How is this gonna get solved…

Dang this is a really good audiobook; there’s music and great voice acting. And the story is pretty intriguing, too.

Hmm I wonder who’s gonna find a suspect.

Oops I put the wrong number lol

Peeta is the smooth talker in this book.

Reading this is making me realize how true to the story the movies made this. I just see more of Katniss’ perspective in this one.

“I think bravery is holding on for that one more minute.” Just one more minute - resilience and strength.

“True friendship is bigger than any problems we face.” - paraphrased cas I didn’t catch the word-for-word.

So Katniss really dislikes Peeta and Haymitch.

Listening to some trauma happening while cleaning - these dear girls :(

The author describes Aeliyah (I actually don’t know how to spell her name since I’m listening to an audiobook) and her mom as short but their words are big and tall, and I can’t say I’ve seen that metaphor in a book before. Or I just don’t remember.

I thought I’d learn more about the other tributes before the Games but I guess I’ll have to find out in the arena. 🤷‍♀️

I’m seeing so much of Katniss’ personality shine through, but I’m starting to understand the story more because of it.

Why is the book describing President Snow as skinny and small (I know the book was first but my movie brain is not getting it)

Already, so much detail in the first couple of pages, but most of it is stuff I also got from the movie. (This is gonna be hard - the movies were so good.)

The quote that I’m thinking of while I read these past two chapters: be careful what you eat when you’re hungry.

“And sometimes it happened, for a time. That kind of love comes and goes and is hard to remember afterwards, like pain. You would look at the man one day and you would think, I loved you…and you would be filled with a sense of wonder because it was such an amazing and precarious and dumb thing to have done; and you would know too why your friends had been evasive about it, at the time.”

“What have we overlooked?”

“Love.”

Idk who to believe.

I swear there wasn’t this much detail in the version I read as a kid.

It always infuriates me when people use the Bible out of context, and it’s part of the dystopian world for this book.
