Re listening after listening to Sunrise on the Reaping again, trying to piece more backstory together. The book honestly has so much more detail to sift through than the movie, it doesn’t really explore the pre-game moments as deeply, whereas the book allows us to hear Katniss strategising on who she can trust. It makes the lead up to the relationship more believable.

Such a unique setting, so many questions to be answered- audiobook adds a great banter aspect to the podcast scenes. Exciting to see what happens!

I really love the second guessing through the book so far. Did they or didn’t they? Is he or isn’t he? The narration of two different characters on two different timelines is so good… flipping between the suspense of the initial abduction and finding closure and answers with the people in the town. I have a suspicion how it will end. But, hoping for a happy ending…

Another year, another reaping. Already invested in the characters, wondering who will become the real allies. Prepping to be heart broken.

Started reading The Naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes on my iPad! Yes, more screen time. But it’s been nice to read a book again!! It’s been too long.

Page 270 is unequivocally clear....!

“A fellow would give a girl his fraternity pin, and it meant they were going steady. But you weren’t official until you had the pin.” “But I’m not in a fraternity. I don’t even know what a fraternity pin looks like.” “Exactly.. I’m just saying, don’t you think there was something cool in the way it used to be? It’s old fashioned, but it’s almost.. postfeminist.”

'We'll call him King. Hullo King, we'll say. Delighted to meet you. How are things King?' Thorn glared a challenge at Gilan, who held up his hands in a peacemaking gesture. 'I'm sure that'll do just fine,' he said, 'He'll be used to that. After all, he met your Oberjarl some years ago.' 'Then he'll be ready for me,' Thorn stated. But now Gilan shook his head and his smile widened. 'Oh, I seriously doubt that, Thorn.'

'It'd take a lucky shot to hit us,' he said. Thorn looked at him, head tilted to one side, for some seconds. 'Sometimes people get lucky,' he replied. 'Nothing we can do about that,' Hal told him. Thorn nodded fatalisticly. 'True enough.'

The final battle ensues, what a smart bunch of kids to pull this off! Who will win, Zavac or Hal? If it weren't for my eyelids nearly falling off id read right to the end tonight!

I thought this would be a fun read but I'm starting to dislike the main character, she keeps saying 'i should apologize' but never does and yet so many people are nice to her. I'll keep reading to see if she changes that!

Finding it hard to get into as I haven't 'hung out' with these characters in such a long time! I left them in the lurch, how rude of me. Slowly getting back into though and loving the comradery between the crew!

'My lord, when i first encounted you the suspicion crossed my mind that your intellect was disorded. I am now certain that this is so!'
