Listen the world is on fire, but that didn't stop me from spending the day searching for a Cowboy Carter outfit and then promptly hopping in the pool with a book, a drink, and my hubs when I got home. Small joys are necessary to keep up with big resistance.

Anyway, happy Reaping Day, and may the odds be ever in your favor. (And happy birthday to my bb Haymitch, obviously)

Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning

I want to mention how they handled the death of PSH. His talk w/ Katniss is in a letter read by Haymitch bc Plutarch can’t be seen w/ her - a respectful way to handle this part. PSH brought a cleverness/humanity to the character that may have influenced the young version of him in the pages of SOTR.

The number of times I had to stop reading to make notes drawing parallels to the real world, in ways that I absolutely was not prepared for - oof. I am really surprised at how big of an impact this re-read has had. I’ll talk about it more in a wrap-up post, but I’m glad I did it.

If he can openly talk about detaining "the home grown ones" and not suffer any consequences for ignoring a unanimous Supreme Court decision to fix a "mistake", we are well and truly cooked. They're eating the checks, they're eating the balances.

Baby when I tell you, the WAY this series holds SO MUCH MORE MEANING after reading Sunrise On The Reaping - whew! 😪 I almost ran out of tabs in this damn book with the times I wanted to cry for/hug Haymitch Abernathy. #BookSky

Captures the essence of the story - some convos are word for word dialogue from the books.
Aside from making things like the mutts less horrifying, the biggest change is the Seneca/Snow scenes but I understand why they are a useful device in the film.

Shrek would love this book. (Because onions have layers - and so does this book when you read it as an adult, as a parent, as a woman, as someone living through a hostile government takover.) 🧅 #thehungergames

Many medical supplies are manufactured outside of the US. I would buy additional KN95, N95 and KF94 masks now, as well as any medical supplies you regularly rely on. Even basics like bandages, Aquaphor, medicated lotion and pimple patches. Order that stuff asap.

A federal judge has ordered the White House to reinstate The Associated Press’s access to smaller events—such as those held in the Oval Office and aboard Air Force One—after Trump barred the news organization.
