If you are a Hunger Games fan then you are probably JUST as excited as I am to see the announcement about Sunrise on the Reaping – the new book in the Hunger Games universe!

IT IS GORGEOUS!!!
I am THRILLED!
The synopsis of the book has been released as well –
“Sunrise on the Reaping” will revisit the world of Panem 24 years before the events of “The Hunger Games,” starting on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.
As the day dawns on the 50th annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes. Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves. When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He’s torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who’s nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he’s been set up to fail. But there’s something in him that wants to fight … and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.
It’s what we’ve all been waiting for! HAYMITCH!!!
I am so thrilled, excited, and just ready to read his story and then see it come to life when they do the movie.
and WHO will we get to play our Haymitch?!
GAH!
The movie has been announced for release in 2026 following the books release on March 18th, 2025.
