The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

On a roll this week with reading, and in a fuss over Collin's newest book! This isn't in my bookshelf, but I borrowed it from CloudLibrary. I had to, in fact, I had to before I even read Mockingjay. A book that delves into the history of President Snow? Absolutely! And let me tell you, I could hardly put it aside. It's a fascinating read, and an insight into the mind of the man in charge. I would love to know more! Complete. 5/5

 

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

 

                        The excellent follow up to Collin's first book, The Hunger Games. Things seem all right after the first book, and even the Quarter Quell doesn't seem *too* alarming, it's someone else after all. But things aren't as they seem in this shocking continuation. Did President Snow plan theme of this year's QQ or was it really written 75 years ago? Completed. 5/5

Coraline by Neil Gaiman

 

                                    I've been a huge fan of Neil Gaiman ever since my wife (then girlfriend) bought me a copy of American Gods as a gift, and I read it cover to cover in a week. Since then, I've read a fair number of his books, but never this one. I've even seen the film, which I recommend. This book is wonderfully creepy and lively, and is, as always, a masterpiece. Completed. 5/5

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

 

I first read this around the time the movie was coming out, and it's definitely a page turner! While it might be a tough read for some, due to the (somewhat) graphic content, it's character driven and I'm always a big fan of those kinds of novels. A deep (and alarming) look into what could happen if things went just a little sideways. Warning: contains children killing children. Completed. 5/5
