So, like I said before, I’ve been sick, and apparently my solution was to binge the entire Hunger Games series. I genuinely don’t think anyone understands how much I love these movies. I’m SO excited for the new one, and now I think they’re teasing another book too???

At this point, Suzanne Collins could write a book about literally every character in Panem and I would read every single one. No questions asked. I’m seated.

May the odds be ever in your favor…
