I was perfectly fine not going back to read the prequel just cause it's been 10 years since I've read the books and I'm okay with leaving the story as is, but THIS... this post might have changed my mind.
Suzanne collins wrote a trilogy where a main media propaganda strategy was to market a horrific act of violence as a love story to distract ppl and then it got adapted into a box office breaking movie and ppl made it all about the love triangle. so then since they didn’t get the point the first time Suzanne collins wrote a prequel story about the main dictator and she makes it so that you as a reader want it to be a genuine love story so badly even tho it’s so very clearly not and instead feels extremely unsettling to make her point even more meta which then gets adapted into another box office breaking film and now ppl are making romantic snowbaird tik toks. do u think she’s gonna write another book that’s somehow even more blatant or just give up and start executing ppl? hard to say but I wouldn’t blame her for the second one
#i should read more#well#besides fan fiction#maybe that ebook i downloaded might help#man but nothing can beat those overnight weekend reading sessions huh?#just the book the bed and my night lamp doing numbers#the smell of the paper#the crinkle from that stupid ass laminate they put on hardbacks sometimes#purposely putting a hand over the next paragraph during a crazy section so that I didn't accidentally read too far ahead in my excitement#pretty cool a lot of the books I read ended up with movie adaptions too#the gurl has TASTE!#I might not have liked a lot about my life at the time but I'm forever grateful for the enriching escapism reading provided back then#i needed something especially when band slowed down and that was it#oh the worlds you can travel the lives you can live all through the magic of pen
