Will Suzanne Collins ever stop? We certainly hope not. It's been almost 17 years since the first Hunger Games book dropped, and we're finally getting the backstory we've all been waiting for: how the beloved and slightly unhinged Haymitch came to be. Though it might be a little disappointing to get a book without Katniss—and, more importantly, a movie without Jennifer Lawrence—we already know this one's going to hit just as hard. 

The series has had a cult following from the jump. My friends and I went to every midnight premiere of the OG movies. We even made matching shirts for the occasion and waited in an absurd line to get into the theater on opening night. As a punishment for staying out late on a school night, my mom made me read the entire book before I was allowed to go. But it honestly made the whole experience even better. I think that's what makes this new release so exciting. It's not just a new story, it's the nostalgia, the hype, and the chance to volunteer as tribute all over again.

  • Remember I said my friends and I made matching shirts? I immediately sent them this meme so we can prepare for next year's premiere, because who doesn't want to go to the movies in your PJs? And you should totally do the same.

    haley⭑ @mockingjaays the hunger games truly is timeless like when you first read it as a young teen a lot of it goes over your head and you kinda just romanticize it but reading it as an adult is such a different experience because you understand the depth of the story and the parallels to our world
