We're Stacey and Rebecca, and we're BACK from our little summer hiatus—tanned, caffeinated, and bookishly overachieving (well, we're trying at least).

In this emotional and chaotic episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli sit down for a girly deep dive into Mockingjay Part 1 and Part 2. This isn't your typical plot breakdown—this is a full-on catharsis session about missed moments, emotional damage, and all the bread Peeta should have brought into the arena. The hosts reflect on Katniss's awkward rise as a revolutionary symbol, Gale's war crimes (allegedly), and how Peeta's hijacking storyline was more brutal onscreen than they ever expected.They debate whether the movies needed to be split into two parts, roast the lack of screen time between Katniss and Peeta (again), and fantasize about a Hunger Games x Love Island crossover hosted by Caesar Flickerman. The girls also gush over Effie's upgraded role and surprise kiss with Haymitch, mourn Finnick's rushed and senseless death, and, of course, spiral into laughter and rage over that emotionally cold baby-filled epilogue.Despite their critiques, one thing is clear: these movies still hold up. Whether they're clowning Gale, defending Peeta's every move, or yelling “REAL,” this episode is for the girlies who still haven't emotionally recovered from The Hunger Games.Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: thebookfixpodcast@gmail.comfollow us on Tiktok! ♡ https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

In this episode of their Hunger Games deep dive, Yajaira and Cheli take on Mockingjay—and they do not hold back. From the rushed character deaths (Finnick deserved a full chapter, not a sentence) to the lack of meaningful dialogue between Katniss and Peeta, the hosts question why the emotional payoff just wasn't there. Katniss choosing Peeta makes sense, but where was the scene where they talked it out? Where was the slow-burn reconnection? And why was Haymitch the only one she seemed to emotionally bond with?

Jefferson White shows remarkable skill balancing a youthful cast with the sobering reality they must face. Twenty-four years before Katniss's games, Haymitch, from District 12, must compete in the Hunger Games—with twice the tributes (competitors). AudioFile's Alex Richey and host Jo Reed discuss how White's perfect pacing adds intensity to the brutality of the games and lingering melancholy as Haymitch struggles to maintain his integrity as the people around him keep dying.  Read our review of the audiobook at our website Published by Scholastic Audiobooks Discover thousands of audiobook reviews and more at AudioFile's website Learn more about your ad choices.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping – Propaganda, Complicity, and Haymitch's StoryIn this episode of Superhero Ethics, hosts Matthew and Riki welcome special guest Danielle from WrittenInTheStarWars to dive deep into Suzanne Collins' newest novel in The Hunger Games franchise, Sunrise on the Reaping. The trio explores how this prequel reveals the true story behind Haymitch Abernathy's Games and challenges what readers thought they knew from the original trilogy.What makes Suzanne Collins' writing unique in YA literature?The hosts discuss Collins' masterful use of first-person narrative, with Danielle highlighting how Collins understands both the strengths and weaknesses of this perspective. Her intentional structuring of chapters and story arcs keeps readers engaged while delivering complex themes accessible to young adults without oversimplifying them. The conversation explores Collins' famous quote: “I don't write about adolescents. I write about war for adolescents.”How does propaganda shape the story in Panem?Sunrise on the Reaping reveals how the Capitol manipulates narratives, showing that what Katniss learned about Haymitch's Games was heavily edited propaganda. The book explores how different forms of propaganda work—from entertainment spectacles to subtle messaging that convinces citizens the Games are necessary for peace. Characters like Effie Trinket demonstrate how effective this indoctrination can be, while others show resistance to these manufactured stories.What do we learn about Haymitch as a character?The novel provides a stark contrast between the real Haymitch and the persona crafted by Capitol editors. Readers discover he was someone who refused to think of other tributes as enemies, consistently protected others, and maintained his humanity throughout the Games. The book also reveals his tragic journey toward alcoholism, showing how it began as medical treatment before becoming his coping mechanism for trauma and loss.Other topics discussed:How Maysilee Donner evolves from a "mean girl" to one of the book's most compelling charactersWhy Collins may have written this book now as a response to current political eventsThe difference between how Haymitch's relationship with Maysilee was portrayed in propaganda versus realityThe careful way Collins handles familiar characters from the original trilogy appearing in the prequelThe humanity of Career tributes and how they too are victims of the Capitol's systemThe theme of complicity and how everyone in Panem's system becomes part of maintaining its horrorsThe conversation concludes by reflecting on how Collins uses her storytelling to encourage readers to question propaganda in their own lives and recognize complicity in unjust systems. By revisiting Haymitch's Games, she reminds us that history is often written by the victors—but truth can be a powerful tool for rebellion.LinksFollow these links to earlier discussions on The Hunger Games with Danielle:The Hunger GamesThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

In our third and final Hunger Games episode (for now!), Andrew, Pam, and Eric review the second prequel in The Hunger Games series, 'Sunrise on the Reaping' starring Haymitch Abernathy. All of us are very impressed by how Suzanne Collins wove together a compelling new story that adds a lot to the characters who we adore. We breakdown the overall arc of the book, the new and old characters we're introduced to, what else we would like to see Collins right about in future books, and so much more. This episode is spoiler heavy, so we recommend reading Sunrise on the Reaping before you dive into the episode! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us a textToday we're discussing the highly anticipated brand new book in the Hunger Games world: Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. We go back in time (yet again!) to the 50th Quarter Quell, also known as Haymitch Abernathy's Hunger Games to answer all the questions we still have. How exactly did he become a victor and the gruff but lovable mentor we all grew to love in the original trilogy? What happened to Haymitch?!This book is full of so many amazing “easter eggs” and tie-ins to the original trilogy. It fills in SO many satisfying blanks while still leaving a little bit up to interpretation. We're ready to pick this book apart and make all of those connections with you as we celebrate this amazing book and get ready to close this Hunger Games chapter (for now). If you've been following along and watched our “From 1984 to Hunger Games” dystopian themes in media and literature episode then you know we're fascinated with everything about this genre and need to delve into this discussion! It just happens to be a BIG bonus that Ashley had never read it before. The debate currently on the book talk table is whether or not books (and the act of reading) are inherently political. We'd encourage anyone who has a doubt in their mind to read this series… with themes like media control, a totalitarian regime, and rebellion, it's hard to see how it ISN'T political.Episode 5 covers book 5 (or 0.75?): Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. The first five-ish minutes are spoiler free with our one sentence rapid star reviews. Then we jam pack this mini episode with an entire plot summary in five sentences (yes, with a keyboard…), discuss what our faves and fail characters and plot points are, our feelings, notable quotes, and discuss ALL the easter eggs. Then we wrap this up with some surprise questions and some excitement for next week's final Hunger Games episode because we give our wrap up thoughts, our overall reviews, discuss the movies, and announce our next miniseries starting soon! We can't wait to see you there!  Mentioned Source:“We Already Know How Sunrise on the Reaping Ends.
