A few days ago, I finished reading The Hunger Games Trilogy, which, in my opinion, is brilliant! I would really recommend it as it is such a thought-provoking series and I found it really interesting. It will also have a film coming out this month on the 23rd, can't wait to see it!




Comment below any books you have been interested or which book character you dressed up as today :)
