HAYMITCH GETS HIS MOMENT! Suzanne Collins’ New Hunger Games Prequel Has Officially Arrived!
Happy Book Birthday to “Sunrise on the Reaping”! Today, March 18th, 2025, Suzanne Collins has officially dropped the FIFTH installment in her legendary Hunger Games series, and I am absolutely LIVING for this unexpected return to Panem!
Remember our favorite surly, sarcastic, perpetually drunk mentor Haymitch Abernathy? The man who guided Katniss and Peeta through their Games with equal parts brilliant strategy and booze-soaked advice? Well, it’s FINALLY his turn in the spotlight! “Sunrise on the Reaping” takes us back fifty years to the Second Quarter Quell, where a young Haymitch faces the unthinkable horror of entering an arena with TWICE the usual number of tributes. Talk about stacking the odds!
I’ve been counting down the days since this book was announced, frantically theorizing about how our beloved curmudgeon transformed from a District 12 boy in love to the broken victor we met in the original trilogy. Now we get to witness his journey firsthand – the family he lost, the love that was ripped away, and the fighting spirit that somehow survived it all.
The book promises to deliver all the gut-wrenching emotional punches and nail-biting arena action we’ve come to expect from Collins, plus fresh insights into Panem’s past.
Who else is spending their day with young Haymitch? May the odds be ever in our favor as we dive back into the world that taught us the true meaning of “dystopian” long before it was cool!
