Lenore Dove - Blog Posts

hayffie was a really fucking surface-level relationship. Like, Effie Trinket is not the absolute queen you think she is.

“But they really are for a greater good. The Hunger Games.”

-Excerpt From Sunrise on the Reaping, Suzanne Collins

Lenore Dove is rescuing us from Hay-fie and for that alone I love her

i hate you. just so you know that

“Can you imagine [the sun] rising on a world without the reaping?”

it will not save you it will murder you, blitz you up into hundreds of thousands of tiny pieces, pick out your heart and then throw it in a high speed vacuum cleaner while it taunts you

sunrise on the reaping save me

😭😞😥

😀

growing up is realizing Haymitch was so committed to the revolution because he wanted to win it for Lenore, the rebel

i just posted about this lmao

“After a while, I slide down the wall, cradling my swollen hands, panting. Pain stabs my chest, and I wonder if a person’s heart can really break. Probably. The word brokenhearted had to come from somewhere. I imagine my heart busted into a dozen glassy red pieces, their hard, jagged edges stabbing into my flesh at every beat.”

haymitch is so real for that, i feel the same way about you bro

what the FUCK do you mean Lenore Dove had geese. wtf. the fact that Haymitch raises geese after the abolition of the hunger games. oh they were so in love I’m fucking heartbroken already

you guys remember Haymitch and his geese and how much that was a "lol...geese? why the fuck would he raise geese?" meme

well... this is his girlfriend

“As I reach the Meadow, I slip under the fence and pause to catch my breath and drink in the sight of Lenore Dove perched on her favorite rock. The sunlight picks up the hint of red in her hair as she bends over an ancient piano accordion. She coaxes a melody out of the wheezy old thing, serenading a dozen geese grazing on the grass, her voice as soft and haunting as moonlight.”

SHE RAISED GEESE NOOO HAYMITCH

“The moment our hearts shattered? It belongs to us.”

YES IT DOES BELONG TO YOU MY BABY BOY

😭😀🔫

Kenneth Branagh has the opportunity to do the funniest thing possible

Spoiler Free Review of Sunrise on the Reaping from someone who just stayed up all night to read it and is now broken emotionally

Suzanne is not fucking around anymore. This book is about so many things but the thing that stuck out most to me was the rage I think dominates this prequel more than any other book in the series.

When the news came out a book about Haymitch was coming after years of fan requests (and a film to be developed in tandem) I’ll admit, I had my doubts.

But what Collins delivers is more brutal a gut punch than I think even the most hard core fans of this series were anticipating. In the wake of political unrest across the US and world wide, in an era of disinformation, she tells the reader clearly to look and think for themselves, and shows the atrocities that can come when we do not.

This book is about anger and injustice and it does not try to convince its reader otherwise. At times you can feel Collins shaking the reader by the shoulders: ‘See?! See what happens when you blindly accept what they tell you? See what you let them take?’.

Fans familiar with Haymitch will not be surprised by a lot of the major beats of this story but the focus on propaganda still leads to some interesting reveals. This is the goriest of Collins series and in many ways I think will be the hardest to adapt, perhaps her own rebellion against the industry that continues to profit off her work and contort her message

my girl lenore dove who nothing bad ever happened to...

i say we just call them geese

Snow - all covey girls do is lie and sing songs about their ex, you should be thankful you're going to die instead of being with lucy gre- i mean Lenore dove

Haymitch - L + ratio + fuck you I'm drinking your milk

yknow if snow wasn't dead already, I'd cut his cock off and choke him with it

Literally only on chapter two of Sunrise on the Reaping and I already wanna throw up

Just finished reading ‘Sunrise on the Reaping’…..

My gods…I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much at a fucking book…

I’m only on chapter 3 of ‘sunrise on the reaping’ and I already wanna cry. Suzanne Collins are you trying to hurt me?

maybe the covey should stop naming their kids after doomed ballads. why not name them roxanne or rosemary. goddamn

omg i was thinking abt this post again and realized “and im sorry i left but it was for the best though it never felt right” also fits SO well omg this is gonna destroy me. plus the fact that the reaping is on the fourth of july lol

i am not ready for the sotr edits to fourth of july by sufjan stevens when the movie comes out

haymitch love-whoever-tf-u-want-but-let-me-see-my-girlllll abernathy

something that stood out to me while reading sotr is just how unreliable of a narrator haymitch is, and specifically in how he views himself. he mentions how he isnt smart repeatedly, and i almost accepted that as a character trait because it’s so often said, but his actions show otherwise. he knows the repercussions of carrying lou lou while in the arena, he just doesnt care. he isnt stupid, he’s brave. “a hero is a person who fights for liberty instead of settling for comfort.”
