The 50th Hunger Games brings the spark that Katniss was able to light into a burning rebellion. Haymitch Abernathy wasn't always the surly, sour drunk that everyone came to know in the initial trilogy.

Haymitch has a family to protect, and being thrown into the Hunger Games makes this task undeniably harder. Not only is he from the weakest district, he's being put into a Quarter Quell, designed to be infinitely more entertaining for the viewers, and much deadlier for the tributes. With double the competition, the odds are not in his favor.

After this book, you might have an eternal hatred for squirrels, a distaste for milk and bread, and an even stronger dislike of President Snow.

I recently finished Pretty Things by Janelle Brown. This book follows the lives of two women, Nina and Vanessa, who come from very different but startlingly related backgrounds. Nina is a con artist living on the edge, while Vanessa is a wealthy influencer grappling with the pressures of her glamorous lifestyle. Nina decides that Vanessa makes the perfect mark, but as the story progresses, childhood secrets become revealed, and their lives become more entangled than either expected.

As their stories progress, both characters are forced to confront their pasts and the choices that have led them to this moment, leading to unexpected revelations and a thrilling climax.

Disclaimer: This book got explicit themes and content

The Circle - Dave Eggers (Dystopian Fiction)

# data[].attributes.body
I am near the end of this book, but haven't finished it yet.

This is also the only book by Dave Eggers that I have read

Summary: Mae Holland, the main character, gets a spot at The Circle, the leading company in technology in the world. Throughout the story, she and the Circle both change drastically, and soon many start to question how the company does not allow anyone privacy, and also question the three lines that integrate themselves into the Circlers' (Circle employees) lives: "Secrets are lies, sharing is caring, and privacy is a theft"

This book does have quite a lot of language and mature/explicit themes. I would rate it 15-16+ or a (very) mature 13+

Author: Shannon Messenger's writing is very detailed, letting the reader feel the emotions of the book, and be swept away by her stories.

Book: Shannon's most recent book, Keeper of the Lost Cities 9.5, Unravelled, follows Keefe, a troubled boy with a hard past, as he tries to figure out his new, mysterious powers. Keefe tries to cover up his problems with jokes, but he can't run from them forever. Soon, Keefe meets someone who helps him gain more control over his powers and gives him a sense of friendship in his trials.

Barnes is an incredible author who mainly writes young adult novels. She's written The Inheritance Games, The Naturals, Little White Lies, and many more.

I'd recommend starting with The Inheritance Games. It's a trilogy with a sequel and a book that ties up loose ends.

A young woman named Avery Kylie Grambs who inherits the fortune of a multi-billionaire named Tobias Hawthorne in Texas. However, not everyone in the Hawthorne House is excited about Avery's arrival. With the help of the Hawthorne brothers (Nash, Grayson, Jameson, and Xander), Avery solves riddle after riddle as she learns how she became the heir to Tobias Hawthorne's fortune.

So You Want To Be A Wizard-By Diane Duane-By Noah Laben

I like this author because it puts an entirely new outlook on magic and a magical world. In comparison to the very "fun" magic of Harry Potter (wave a wand, say some words, BOOM ITS SPELL TIME), magic in this series is more comparable to science, with parameters, steps, and calculations to consider. The type of magic practiced in this 8 book series is probably the favorite one I've read about. In this story, an abused child finds an unusual book and soon is thrust into a world where danger abounds, magic has rules, and entropy slowly eats away at a flourishing universe. With but one other person and one displaced white hole, Nita embarks on an Ordeal to decide if she is ready for the power and mystery that is wizardry after all. And that journey is one that will forever change her life.

I just finished re-reading The Sign of the Beaver written by Elizabeth George Speare a couple days ago. I really enjoyed the descriptions and details in this book, from intricately explaining how the Native Americans make traps from tree roots, to showing the complicated emotions of the characters.

Summary: Matt Hallowell, a 12-13 year old boy, is left alone to guard his family's cabin in the forests of Maine for the entire summer of 1768. While by himself, he befriends the local Native American tribe, the Beaver clan. Matt gets to know the grandson of the chief, Attean, a boy around Matt's age. Near the end, Matt has to make a tough decision, which I can't really go into detail.

Book: Remarkably Bright Creatures

Shelby Van Pelt weaves together a "found family" story about a handful of people from different walks of life as well as an octopus named Marcellus. The writing is quirky and fun and Marcellus is a hard character not to love. It's a light and heartwarming read. Even if books with animals as characters is not your usual pick, you'll probably enjoy this book.

I enjoy the author because of how descriptive she is. When she describes the places and characters, it feels like i'm in the story and that I know the characters.

The story takes place 64 years the first hunger games book. It talks about the early life of the future king of Panem, Cornelius Snow. He gets the task of training one of the districts before they get thrown into the game. By luck, he gets the worst of the worst by getting the girl from district 12, Lucy Gray.

Cornelius is forced to prepare her the best he can by surviving on his wits and Lucy Gray's incredible voice for singing.

Austin - The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel

# data[].attributes.body
I like this author, Lee Strobel, because he is a journalist, which may not seem very significant, but is extremely skilled and detailed in his analysis of a variety of cases from court, including murders, fraud, and more. His job is to gather detailed information to, without bias, supply the lawyer/attorney with the best information to build the best case either for or against the defendant. So he uses these skills in one of his first books, the Case for Christ, where he, before his investigation of the whole life of Christ, from start to finish, was a skeptic, or someone who didn't believe. He goes through different categories of evidence with much detail, little bias, and many skeptical questions, with the help of 13 experts in fields of psychology, health, theology, archaeology, and more. At the end, he adds up the evidence and makes a conclusion.. which you will have to find out and make yourself. Read it!

The author is very descriptive about their writing on the fantasy elements in the story and creating a clear image of what is going on.

In the story, two kids go to their grandfather's mansion and discover that it is a reserve for magical creatures. Their grandfather tells them not to go into the woods, but they decide to go in anyway. They find a witch who is trying to release eveil magical creatures onto the property. Their grandfather eventually gets kidnapped, and they have to go and save him.

I know this isn't the most interesting post that will be on here because we have all already read it, but I really really did enjoy reading the book "Salt" by Helen Frost. I think I enjoyed reading this book so much because I have always had an interest in reading poetry but never really get the chance to read it. This book really sparked something in me that made me want to read more poetry. Another reason I think I loved this book is because I don't read much historical fiction. Before reading Salt I had no interest due to me believing the genre is just historical facts put into story form. I was wrong.

This book is about a colonist boy named James and a Native American boy named Anikwa, who have formed a very special friendship. But when the War of 1812 arrives, their friendship is put to the test while their families are choosing whether or not they will stay true to their friends, or to their country.

I love the way that Helen Frost writes. The way that she switches perspectives throughout the story really gives the reader the chance to understand every aspect of the story. It was almost inspiring to read an author's book that was written like this, after I have previously written a narrative in this style. Also, the differences between the writings of the two characters gives the story a dramatic effect. Frost also ties in some cultural aspects into the way the story is written. For example the layout of each poem.

Book: A Gentleman in Moscow

If you like Russian history, this book will enchant you. It follows the life of "imprisoned" Count Rostov during/after the Bolshevik revolution. The characters grow and change and the ending is a little unexpected and bittersweet.

Towles is an excellent writer!

The Tangled in Time series was amazing, it is a series of two books, by Kathryn Lasky. I finished the series a few months ago, but out of the books I've most recently read, these were my favorites. The first book is my favorite, it is called "Tangled in Time: The Portal".

The first book is from the perspective of Rose, the main character. The book tells the reader about Rose's mom dying in a car crash, and Rose is now an orphan. She then moves to live with her grandmother who she barely ever talked to, since they had lived in different states. Rose's grandmother spends most of her time inside her greenhouse, and the first time Rose stepped foot into the greenhouse, it was like she'd lost all sense of time. As Rose wandered through the greenhouse, she felt as if it were much brighter than it was when she first walked in it. As she if inside the greenhouse she tries to go back to her room but finds herself outside f a castle.

I don't want to spoil the book, but the greenhouse is like a portal. And she travels back to the time of Elizabeth I.

Morgan Platt - Sankichi Hinodeya (Splatoon)

# data[].attributes.body
Hinodeya is absolutely my favorite author. They've written the manga adaptation of one of my favorite Nintendo games, Splatoon. As far as I know, Splatoon is the only thing Hinodeya has written.

The books don't have to be read in chronological order, but I would recommend it.

Team Blue, made up of Goggles, Specs, Headphones, and Bobble Hat, is always made fun of and looked down on. They're very silly, and often don't take things seriously. When they start to face off against higher ranked teams, their peers learn that there may be more to this team than meets the eye.

Please note that this series (16 books, with 3 new ones in a different setting) is a Japanese manga, meaning it reads right to left. Also, some aspects of the story might be confusing for those who haven't played the game, but Hinodeya does a great job at explaining how the world works in the first book.
