MY THOUGHTS:
I frequently ponder Suzanne Collins' mindset and the creative process behind envisioning a story set in a world where children are compelled to battle each other to the death. 

It makes me reflect on my own moral judgment, considering how much I enjoyed every moment of reading it. Given the current state of society, I sometimes wonder if such a scenario may not be so far-fetched.  

I devoured this book quickly and found it consistently engaging. I eagerly anticipated picking up the rest of the series to keep reading.

Rereading this series to read the newest book (2020) only to announce they’re adding a fourth in 2025! I forget how much i enjoyed this series as a kid, and it still holds up today. I still critique the use of the love triangle, but i understand why it’s included. Overall still a great, enjoyable read.

Just completed my third time reading, and my first time using the audiobook, and I’m still filled with such deep love for this story. I enjoy this book everytime and it never gets old. It’s truly a lasting, all-time favorite.

“Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.”

I ate it up but are we shocked? (no)
I love the world building a lot, it really feels like you're there.

Katniss literally just trying to survive but any acts outside the box is being seen as a rebellion but she literally doesn't fr want to is interesting. 

Katniss and Peeta both retaining disabilities from surviving the games is also interesting, alongside Haymitch's alcoholism, showing that no one survives the games completely unscathed.

Why did Peeta have so much rizz omg?
