This book was heartbreaking. Emotionally destroying. Draining. I laughed. I cried. I sat in silence when I was done just to recover. Should you read it? Abso-fucking-lutely.

Anyone else beyond excited for this book or is it just me 😅
The Hunger Games series will always be near and dear to me. It was the series that made me fall back in love with reading. It introduced me to dystopian books. And now I can‘t wait to go back to Panem.

I figured, with the last episode fast approaching, it was a great time for a reread, and a good time to start annotating books. Who else annotates books, and has any tips to share?

BookwormAHN I do 🙋🏼‍♀️ and I love using book darts. 6y
lorannen I didn't make it through book 2 back when I first attempted reading these. Would be interested to know what your annotations might be like. There's just so much going on & so much detail! 6y

I had actually planned to put this book off for a bit, and read something else. But after finishing the Drums of Autumn, I had to jump right in!! Who else is excited for season 4!!!🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

BookNAround So excited! I have to admit I didn‘t love this book though and needed encouragement to get through it. I loved the first four and just found this one such hard going. 6y
Birdsong28 I felt exactly the same after reading/listening to the first one a few months ago but I knew that I wouldn't enjoy it the same so I listened to a few shorter audiobooks then I am now back listening to Dragonfly in Amber. Can't wait for the 4th series though!!! Even though I know what is going to happen when I do eventually get to the audiobooks it doesn't spoil it, it enhances them. 😀📚📖 6y
HOTPock3tt Super excited!! ❤️ In the beginning of this book it was really tough to keep going 😕 but I ended up liking it a lot!! Took about 41 chapters though 😅literally 😶lol. If I wasn‘t already so in love with the outlander series I probably would‘ve dropped it. Glad I kept going though it came together nicely. Towards the end there were some REaLLy fun parts of this book!!! So excited to see Claire & Jaime back on the big screen for season 4 & 5! ❤️ (edited) 6y
Seesydneyread @BookNAround @Birdsong28 @HOTPock3tt this book is seriously daunting. May end up having to put it down every once in awhile to pick something else up 😅😅 6y
