I finished the prequel of the Hunger Games last night.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was definitely an interesting read. It takes you all the way back to the 10th Hunger Games.

I watched a show earlier where people were given an intelligence test by the government. If the government thought they were too intelligent, they were executed.

I read this one a long time ago, when it was first released in the early 1980's. It was the cover of the book that caught my eye, the woman looking like someone out of a Brueghel painting, her face and body obscured by red and...
