Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begun. . . .

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.]]> 374 Suzanne Collins RoroReads (Free Palestine) 5 meh, to-read 4.34 2008 The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)

Eadlyn doesn't expect her story to end in romance. But as the competition begins, one entry may just capture Eadlyn's heart, showing her all the possibilities that lie in front of her . . . and proving that finding her own happily ever after isn't as impossible as she's always thought.]]> 342 Kiera Cass RoroReads (Free Palestine) 2 kiera-cass, meh Its fun to be back but like Eadyln is literally so annoying like get outta here...........

Ini dia Mare Barrow, pemimpin Barisan Merah. Seorang Pembunuh, teroris, musuh besar kerajaan kita. Dan, sekarang, dia berlutut di hadapan kita.
Darahnya yang mengucur menjadi bukti akan identitasnya.�

Gadis berkekuatan petir dari Kaum Merah—Mare Barrow—tertangkap saat memberontak dan ditahan dalam sangkar cantik Kerajaan Norta. Maven, sang Raja Kaum Perak, terobsesi membalas dendam kepadanya. Dia menjadikan Mare boneka yang tak berdaya menolak perintahnya.

Namun, pemberontakan belum selesai. Percobaan pembunuhan terhadap sang Raja terjadi dan perang pun berkobar. Mare diselamatkan. Kini dia harus berlatih keras untuk menyempurnakan kekuatannya demi pertarungan puncak nanti. Di tengah situasi yang semakin panas, hubungan Mare dengan Cal—Pangeran Perak yang terbuang—pun semakin dalam.

]]> Glass Sword (Red Queen, #2) 26531536 If there’s one thing Mare Barrow knows, it’s that she’s different.

Mare Barrow’s blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control.

The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind.

Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors.

But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat.

Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever?

The electrifying next installment in the Red Queen series escalates the struggle between the growing rebel army and the blood-segregated world they’ve always known—and pits Mare against the darkness that has grown in her soul.]]> 444 Victoria Aveyard 006245532X RoroReads (Free Palestine) 3 meh, red-queen 3.69 2016 Glass Sword (Red Queen, #2)

]]> Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) 22328546 This is a world divided by blood—red or silver.

The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.

That is until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.

Fearful of Mare's potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.

But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance—Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart.]]> 388 Victoria Aveyard 0062310631 RoroReads (Free Palestine) 3 meh, red-queen 3.98 2015 Red Queen (Red Queen, #1)

]]> <![CDATA[Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2)]]> 6148028 Sparks are igniting.
Flames are spreading.
And the Capitol wants revenge.

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol—a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.

Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest that she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

In Catching Fire, the second novel of the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen, testing her more than ever before . . . and surprising readers at every turn.]]> 391 Suzanne Collins 0439023491 RoroReads (Free Palestine) 4 meh 4.34 2009 Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2)

]]> <![CDATA[Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3)]]> 7260188 My name is Katniss Everdeen.
Why am I not dead?
I should be dead.

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans—except Katniss.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay—no matter what the personal cost.]]> 390 Suzanne Collins 0439023513 RoroReads (Free Palestine) 2 meh The first book was probably my favorite.

Ok I think this book was pretty good. I didn't know if I was going to read it but I'm glad I did! President Snow in the Hunger Games seemed really cruel and heartless but this book really helps understand why he is the way he is. Poor Coryo! (I can't remember how to spell his name and I'm not gonna go find it so I'll just use his nickname) He lost both his parents and lived with his grandmother and his cousin, Tigris. Wasn't Tigris that one lady who helped Katniss and them in like Mockingjay or something????? The name and occupation seemed familiar. Let me know! I thought that the Snows were always rich and what not but I guess not. Snow knew he and his family didn't have enough money but he still kept up appearances. How had like almost no one realize that?? Uh Lucy Gray was ok I guess..... that one other guy turned out to be right; She is not to be trusted. But Snow was soooooo heartbroken it was just sad. Why did she have to do that!?!?!!? Lucy, I'm coming for you! Someone should shove her off the bridge just like in her song :) I didn't really understand the title at first but then it clicked kinda Snow was the snake and Lucy was the songbird even though like Lucy and her snakes???? Like idk
