Sunrise On The Reaping

I'm a proud bookworm! There, I said it! One of my many wishes in life is that I wished I had more time to read. 

I just finish reading Sunrise On The Reaping, and I am still buzzing from how much I loved this book. I have been a huge fan of the series and remember waiting forever for the next book in the series to come out. It's also a series that I got my mom to read, and loved chatting with her about what we thought the next book would be about when we finished.

This book totally swept me away with its vivid world-building and characters that are old friends, but we're getting to see them in a new light. The story is packed with unexpected twists that kept me on my toes but in the best way possible — no spoilers, promise! 

Side note, I love that we keep seeing the casting for the movie too...it's only keeping the excitement alive in me!

One thing that really stood out to me was Haymitch's journey — full of resilience, heart, and moments that had me cheering out loud. I loved how Suzanne Collins wove in themes of hope and courage, especially in scenes where the characters have to make tough choices but still find light in the darkest moments, like the scene about the Reaping festival.

The relationships in this story feel so real and heartfelt, which Collins always delivers on this front. You can feel the loyalty and trust building between characters, which adds such emotional depth. 

The book moved at an excellent place. I personally didn't feel like anything particular was dragged out.

All in all, I think it's a wonderful young adult series and this 5th volume only added to the whole picture of the Hunger Games Universe, but is a great stand alone story. It provides readers with the opportunity to rethink what their opinions were of certain characters we already have met. It also filled in some gaps that I didn't even know existed, but I loved getting more back story to these characters. 


If you're into the series or just checking it out for the first time, I highly recommend this book. It's an epic journey and one that you probably won't want to put down! I liked it so much, that after reading it I listened to the audiobook to revisit it (I love audiobooks during drives or while working).

 Happy reading (and shopping)!

Reusable Seedling Starter Trays

Image
For as long as I can remember, I've always loved being outdoors. It's no surprise that in my 30's one of my absolute favorite summer hobbies is gardening. Over the years, I have learned what works best for me and while I'm no expert gardener, I have had some success with my backyard veggie garden. Living in a place that actually gets snow and cold winters, and very little spring, I've learned that starting my seeds inside gives me a jump start to the season. I've tried a bunch of different ways to start my seedlings, and the reusable seed starter trays are my favorite, and here's why: With the erratic temperatures, I typically don't officially transplant the seedlings until the end of May. These trays afford a good amount of space for the seedlings to start growing in before I can actually get started outside. I have not experienced the seedlings outgrowing the trays yet.   I am pretty impressed that so far I have gotten 3 years out of these bad boys. I ...

Tennessee Orange, Savannah Nights 🎤: My Megan Moroney Concert Review

🎤  Tennessee Orange, Savannah Nights  🎤 Brittny Tried It: Megan Moroney Concert Review 🎶 Why I Tried It 🎶 Anyone that knows me knows that I am obsessed with music and I rarely say no to live music. So when one of the nicest and funniest women I know called me up and invited me to meet up in Savannah, Georgia to see Megan Moroney in concert, I said take my money nowwww and I'll see you there on the spot...even though I truthfully could not name a single Megan Moroney song in that moment. Luckily, Spotify had me covered and I quickly learned as many of her songs as I could, and was even more pumped to go! Cowgirl emo?? Say less and count me in!!!  ❤️What I Loved ❤️ Savannah showed up big time for Megan. The venue (Enmarket Arena) was buzzing with energy, and the crowd sang (and at times screamed) along to every word like we were all old friends at a backyard bonfire. Megan opened with my favorite, “Man on the Moon,” and from the first line, it was game on. She played ...

Tribesigns 47-Inch Farmhouse Console Table

Image
This spring, I decided to finally tackle the living room in my house. I've been in the house for 3 years now, and it's the one room that I haven't been able to decide what to do with. After tons of research, we found a modular couch that had everything we wanted from it. We love having the flexibility to create the right seating arrangement for the day. With the couch i can fit so many more people than my previous one. I knew that I wanted a sofa table to go between the sofa and the wall so that everyone would have a place to set their drinks, phones, keys, etc. I finally settled on the Tribesigns 47-Inch Farmhouse Console Table and ordered it from Amazon. The dimensions were exactly what I was looking for:   Here's my thoughts: I purchased it for ~$120.00 and it arrived in 2 days. The packaging was great and there were no damaged pieces upon arrival, although the box was pretty beat up! The table comes with labeled parts and detailed instructions, making the assembly ...
