pickLoved the movies and wanted to see how the books compare. Great first book! Really solidifies the characters and sets us up for a great storyline. It was a little darker than I was expecting - the cutting out people‘s tongues, yikes! - but that just really drives home the fact that this world is brutal! So excited for the rest of the series! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

pickThis is a re-read for me…. Honestly I‘ve probably read them all 5-6 times. THG is to me what Harry Potter is to a lot of other people 😆. Can‘t wait for the prequel to come out next month! (8)
⭐️: 4.5/5
pickAs a young teen, I was so excited to see myself as a hero through the eyes of Katniss Everdeen. Rereading this book as a teacher is different. This novel is dystopian horror- The children in the arena; the gruesome deaths of babes; the sick political games The Capital plays. This novel is a work of brilliance to reread as an adult. I am in awe while terrified for my students‘ futures. Books are political- education IS political. I am afraid.
pickI know I am so late to the party, but I‘m hooked! I‘m invested now it Katniss and Peeta, so I guess I need to get a hold of book 2!

My most shelved and least shelved books for the year. At this point, I've read Hunger Games so much I could quote most of it because I've taught it in a middle school reading class for years. For the 24-25 school year, I've moved to teach math, and I'm going to miss watching students fall in love with the story.
#sundayfunday @BookmarkTavern The tagged book feels less fiction all the time 🤦🏼♀️
Great story for young readers to learn lessons of morality and struggles in the world through the lens of a struggling society
pickThe Hunger Games #1 is an incredible start to a magnificent series of literature that focus on a futuristic utopian society that pins different districts against each other. In this story, we follow Katniss Everdeen on her story to navigate through a battle royale in which she finds herself making friends and finding love with her counterpart from her same district.
pickI haven't read this trilogy since I was thirteen, maybe? Fourteen, perhaps? As a teenager, this dystopian world didn't draw any parallels to my own reality, but as an adult, in a turbulent political environment, class stratification and the ethics of authority alarmingly echo the injustice of our world. The suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat and biting your nails the whole way through. The world building is perspicacious. Incredible.

🌹My grandmother Not present anymore in this physical world but present always in my thoughts and♥️
🌹 I will admire every strong female character that appear in books I love. Not necessarily a heroine but characters I admire or love. I just admire the live Katniss felt for her sister.
But if I have to mention heroes in fiction,...well, those in marvel and DC are quite fun to follow....in movies🤣
Thank you @TheSpineView 🥰♥️
pickIt‘s as good as I remember it. This copy is all marked up and ready for the middle schoolers. We started Ch. 1 today and the kids are in it to win it!! 🙌🤩

Why on earth have I waited so long to read this? (Or even watch the movies!!??)
It was truly amazing. Katniss is an easy new favorite character. As usual, the book is far better than the movie (I watched it as soon as I finished the book)
To me the book captured the emotion and strife of the whole situation much more than the movie did. I think the movie would have benefited from an R rating over PG13.
The book was much more graphic.
Spending a Saturday night marking this one up in preparation for teaching it to 7th graders. I can‘t wait! 🤩🙌 #teachersoflitsy

Fantastic month: I will say that the whole series (4 books) deserve to be in that position as a whole for that month. Extraordinary narrator.
Books I really really enjoyed this month:
Broken Girl
Stolen Tongues
The Girl Who Lives Down The Lane
Autumn in Sycamore Park
Snow Girl
Ícaro Gland
pickI thoroughly enjoyed this book!
Onto the next book in the series. I loved the first book!
pickWhat can I say? It was fantastic as a YA Post Apocalyptic novel. The audiobook was fantastic with narrator Tatiana Maslany. I need to watch the movies again. Couldn‘t put it down. 4⭐️

I‘m grateful for the Hunger Games. Honestly this is always my favorite book and my favorite series. I will never get tired of opening up to that first line and diving into the story again. From my first to my third read it‘s comforting and a story that holds great meaning in my life. So I‘ll always be grateful for the series 😄 @BookmarkTavern - thanks for putting this together! #sundayfunday

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
My sisters recommended that I read this whole trilogy after we saw the first movie, and I was surprised by how much I liked them. The way the books dealt with the choices and consequences of a revolution felt so real and grounded.
#SundayFunday Have a great day, and don‘t forget to tag me!
pickthis, believe it or not, was my first time reading this! wow the movie is a quite accurate adaptation i‘m impressed. loved the minor details within the book that aren‘t incorporated as fully in the film. the love story between katniss and peeta is so much more prevalent in the book and katniss faking it is so well written. i also think the book speaks volumes about just how young the tributes are, and how fucked up the whole capitol really is.
The 11 year old‘s grabbing a few pages before practice (little bro is practicing now). ⚽️✨

pickHow awful that to punish people, the capitol has two children from each district - who are likely starved- face each other in an arena & fight to the death. But Katniss, does things her own way.
pickI think this is one of the best series I've ever read.. more than anything, you'll really be able to connect with the characters.. the emotions are inexpressible... The pace and the plot both are great.. you should definitely give it a read..
I reread The Hunger Games this semester and I thought it was really interesting to read the book from an anti-capitalist perspective. A lot of the conflicts with class and revolution in the book reminded me of present-day America
“Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings
them true
Here is the place where I love you. “
-Page 235
“It‘s not as if I‘m never friendly. Okay, maybe I don‘t go around loving everybody I meet, maybe my smiles are hard to come by, but I do care for some people.”
-Page 122
SO TRUE, KATNISS!
pickThis book is about Katniss Everdeen, a girl that is being forced into a arena with hundreds of others, to keep this people in track, they‘re in multiple districts. This books theme is all about survival. This book is very enjoyable weather it is your first time reading it, or your 10th. I would recommend this book for people that like books that‘s are very slow paced, and doesn‘t have a problem with gore.
pickIn the post apocalyptic nation of Panem, Katniss Everdeen lives in the poorest district of the 12 left. Each year, the Capitol holds the Hunger Games, in which one female and one male tribute are chosen from each district to fight to the death. When Katniss's sister gets chosen, Katniss sacrifices herself to take her place. Joined by Peeta Mellark, the pair go into the games where they fight against 22 other opponents until there is only one left.
