The way the adults act scared and repulsed towards the teenagers has really started to create an eerie atmosphere in the story and it's been quite enjoyable so far. Is there something in the air that is making the teens, aka Quinn specifically, act a certain way? The Sheriff scared me too, the way he acts makes me feel like he could kill one of those kids. And yeah, just the idea of a carnival filled with pictures of this fucking clown gives me the heebie jeebies. Oh well, let's see who dies first. I bet it's Tucker, just for wearing the clown custome.

Okay, I LOVE the idea of sharing thoughts on a forum while reading — It sounds perfect. I always have so many reactions while I read — comments, emotions, tiny rants, questions, wild predictions, the occasional breakdown 😮💨 — and the thought of posting them, discussing them with other readers, just letting them out?? Dreamy. ✨ But here's the thing: The motivation to organize my thoughts, translate them into words (in English, which isn’t even my first language 💀), and post them?? Absolutely nowhere to be found. It’s not that I don’t want to share — I really do! I want to scream into the void or have someone scream back “I KNOW RIGHT??” — but suddenly it all feels like work 🧠➡️✍️ And my brain’s like “nah, let’s just stare at the wall instead.” (I have made posts before — just lately it takes so much effort that it honestly feels like a job 😵💫) Plus, I don’t love the idea of constantly pausing my reading just to post a comment — It pulls me out of the story 🫠 And half the time I lose the vibe I was in just for the sake of writing something down. So yeah. I adore the concept of being super active in reading forums… I’m just not very good at actually doing it. 😂 Anyone else feel this way?? Or is my brain just being dramatic again 🙃📖

Why did it take me by surprise that in the first Quarter Quell the Capitol made the citizens of the districts vote for their representatives for the Games?

Curious to hear… how do you all sort your physical bookshelves? I used to swear I’d only ever do author last name but as I’ve gotten into reading and collecting more, I now have them in their genres with my favourites more visible and the rest are sorted by “vibes” (like dragons, witches, werewolves etc) and then alphabetically by author. (YA gets sorted into the relevant genres like fantasy YA goes with fantasy instead of separating YA out.) My only hard rule is an author’s books can’t be separated even if they write different genres. An authors books must stay together. The size differences annoy me too so sometimes I separate within the vibes the hardcovers and paperbacks and then do them alphabetically in those sections. Right now, I’m squeezing stuff in where it can fit so it’s not perfectly organized by vibes but we’ll see what happens as I get more space! (I know sharing images on here is a lot of work but if you are up to it, shelfies welcome!)

Not much has happened yet. But the writing style makes me feel like I'm watching a movie and I like that style.

After talking it out with my pillow and Morpheus, I have come to the conclusion that the ending feels flat. But I personally think it feels flat for a reason. The ending is supposed to give you the feeling of "disappointed, but not surprised", when it comes to life. Because the truth is, June is right that she will get out of this yet again. It's a vicious cycle that will continue till the end of times. It was a beautifully crafter story, about an unconscious thievery than then becomes a web of lies that the main character, June Hayward, cannot get out of due to one simple truth: she thinks she deserves every good thing that is happening to her. It's been really interesting to be able to see a character so easy to hate. I can't even say I felt sorry for her in a way that allows me to see her in a new light. No, she was just so annoying as a person, but she was not annoying to read. What was really interesting to me though was how a person can justify themselves in so many different ways until they hit rock bottom and still, still, even when they are that down below, they still find a way to convince themselves no, there is a way out. In this particular story, I really wish she didn't though. It was a wonderful story truly.

I hate how I'm relating to June in this chapter. Just because I don't wanna relate to a racist plagiarizer. But also, because the feeling of writing that she describes in this reminds me of me. Damn Rebecca Kuang. Writing is everything. And I have gotten into a writer's block for, I think, maybe ten years. Don't get me wrong, I have written some stuff. I joined a workshop a few months ago that did help me for a while and I did manage to write something that I can say has more value than anything I have written before. And yet, here I am, not writing any more ideas after that. I understand the part where she says that she wants to known, she wants to not be forgotten. That when she dies, people will remember her and her words and that she had something to say. And even with all of that, I also understand her mother and sister. They wanted a simple life working at an office, Rory is an accountant (I actually love numbers), and she seems happy with her little life in a medium-sized town with her partner, kid and a normal 9-5. I understand both sides. Personally, I wish I could have both. Very Hannah Montana of me, except Hannah Montana's normal life was in a beach house in Malibu with still a lot of money. Oh well. I still hate your guts June Haywards.
