What to Read After The Hunger Games

[*Beginning of THG spoilers]

So, you’ve read The Hunger Games trilogy. You’ve journeyed with Katniss through two arenas, several rebellions, and a war. You’ve seen the love triangle play out to the end, you’ve mourned the tragic deaths of some of your favorite characters, and now you can sleep knowing that there are survivors who are safe, if not entirely sound.

[*End of THG spoilers]

The big question is: What now?

What can possibly take the place of The Hunger Games trilogy on your bookshelf?

The answer is simple: Nothing.

There is no trilogy like The Hunger Games, and trying to find a replacement would be like Cinna deciding to stop being fabulous. It won’t happen.

But there is hope! I’ve had lots of questions from friends asking me what to read next, and I can tell you with great enthusiasm that The Hunger Games might be the lamb stew, but there are lots of other tasty meals on the menu.   

People like The Hunger Games for many different reasons, and I have categorized my suggestions based on several endearing qualities of the books. If I didn’t address why you liked the books, please leave me a comment and I’ll get you a recommendation.

So, if you liked The Hunger Games (THG), consider reading the following books. I’d love to know what you think once you’ve read them, and I hope you have recommendations to add!

Category: OMG Please Read This Book

Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card

This book came out in 1985, but it is as relevant and poignant today as it was when it was winning awards almost 30 years ago.

I’ve read that this book is mandatory for training in the Marine Corps, and I can see why. In this book, the Capitol in THG is instead an international space fleet with a school that trains children to become soldiers who will defeat the “Buggers”, or aliens who are set to invade Earth. Ender Wiggin is taken from earth at a young age to attend the Battle School.  Through a series of training games, Ender shows his promise as a tactician in increasingly difficult scenarios. Through it all, Ender struggles with rage and violence, empathy, self-definition, and humanity.

This book blew my mind. If you see the ending coming, you are my hero because I was shocked, and I can usually predict these things.

Favorite quote: “There is no teacher but the enemy.”

The movie based on this book is in production now and will be released next November. I encourage you to #readitfirst !

Also, The Giver by Lois Lowry has a similar feel and is a very good book.

Category: Strong female lead, survival, figuring stuff out

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series by Stieg Larrson

There has been almost as much hype about this mystery thriller series and the movies as THG, and both the books and the films live up to their fame. The journey of Lizbeth and Mikael and the mysteries they solve lead to fist pumping, hair pulling, horror-stricken moments. Wading through the many names and thick detail can be tough, and the story is much darker than THG, but the plot and the characters are worth it. 

Other recommendations in this category:

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Steifvater

The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

Category: Political intrigue and regional struggles

The Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin

You may think they’re just crazy fantasy books that have evolved in to a wildly successful HBO series, but I’m telling you, these books are about people; good people and the very worst types of people, all of them flawed and endearing. The complicated stories are engaging, the writing is beautiful, the characters are lovable and contemptible, and the fantasy overlays political, social, and emotional realism. Like the Dragon Tattoo series, these books are heavier on details and names than THG, but they are just as enthralling.

Other recommendations in this category:

Leviathan series by Scott Westerfeld

Category: Young Adult Dystopia Series   

The Maze Runner series by James Dashner

This seems to be the go-to recommendation for what to read after THG. I liked the first book, but the series did not engage me as much as some other books on the list. Still, it’s worth noting that these books may be a good next read.

Other recommendations in this category:

Graceling, Fire, and Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore

The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld

The Matched series by Allie Condie

Delirium and Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver  

Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth

The Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness

Category: Young Adult Fantasy

The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer

What are you doing? Just read them already. You know you want to.

There are SO many more books I hope you read, but these made the short list for those of us missing The Hunger Games books. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

It makes my day when I hear from you on Facebook, Twitter, email, or in comments below.

Happy reading!

The Hunger Games Soundtrack: Predictions

Welcome to the Soundtrack Arena, Hunger Games Fans!

You have, by now, listened to the Hunger Games soundtrack. Sadly only a few of these songs will likely be in the actual film, but if they survive the reaping, I can imagine when we’ll hear them.  

So picture this …

The ground rumbles beneath you as you are raised on your circular arena platform.

You are ready. You have heard the songs. So what’s your strategy? Where do the songs fit in the film?

Are you going to run with the Cornucopia of the thoughts below, or flee to the woods with your own rebellious opinions?

Here are my predictions and the IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) about where these songs should appear in the movie, with some lyrics.

“Abraham’s Daughter” by Arcade Fire

IMHO: Train ride and entrance to the Capitol

“And when he saw her raised for the slaughter

Abraham’s daughter raised her bow

How darest you, child, defy your father

You better let young Isaac go.”

“Tomorrow Will Be Kinder” by The Secret Sisters

IMHO: After Rue dies, in the trees when Katniss reminds herself why she’s in the game and gets some news that changes things

“Today I’ve cried a many tear, and pain is in my heart,

Around me lies a somber scene, I don’t know where to start,

But I feel warmth on my skin, the stars have all aligned

The wind has blown, but now I know, that tomorrow will be kinder.”

“Nothing to Remember” by Neko Case, a poignantly beautiful song about Katniss and her relationship with Gale, and herself

IMHO: Katniss and Gale hunting

“I don’t recall, fight or flight setting in …”

“There is nothing to remember.”

“I owe you nothing, that’s all I’ve got for you.

You borrow nothing, that’s what you expect of me… ”

“All I own, all I own, the strides I spend to the finish line …

I’ll give you those.”

“I’m ashamed that I’m barely human,

And I’m ashamed I don’t have a heart you can break,

I’m just action,

And other times reaction.

All I own, All I own, and the strides I spend to the finish line

All I own, All I own, and the strides I spend to the finish line

I’ll give you those,

Just don’t make me go home

Give me something to remember … “

“Safe & Sound” by Taylor Swift (feat. The Civil Wars)

IMHO: Rue’s death, but I hope Katniss actually sings a song to Rue. I’m crying already!

“Just close your eyes,

The sun is going down

You’ll be all right

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I’ll be safe and sound.”

“The Ruler and the Killer” by Kid Cudi

IMHO: During the training sessions, but it could be when the Careers (Cato) are hunting in the arena

“When I talk you should listen,

You talk you say nothing okay,

You the ruler and killer baby.”

“Dark Days” by the Punch Brothers

IMHO: The goodbye scene with Katniss’s mom and Prim. It might be the train ride from District 12, but it’s perfect for that awful (and wonderful) scene when Katniss says goodbye

“We don’t have to reap the fear they sow…”

“Our love will see us through these

Dark dark days, sister,

Till it lights the way back home

Sister hide our love away.

Mother listen to my heart.

Just as one beat ends another starts,

You can hear no matter where you are.”

“One Engine” The Decemberists

IMHO: No clue, maybe getting on the train in District 12?

“Hold on, they’re breaking they’re bonds.”

“Bear down, they’ll run you aground

We all must suffer awhile in a way.”

(I think the melody works more than the lyrics here.)

“Daughter’s Lament” by The Carolina Chocolate Drops

IMHO: A nightmare scene when she’s thinking about finding out about her dad dying in the mines

“Up spoke up spoke up mockingjay up from a willow tree saying you had a father in the mines whose gone this day from thee.

Whose gone this day from thee.”

“Kingdom Come” by The Civil Wars

IMHO: Katniss at the beginning of the games running from the Cornucopia, or Katniss leaving the Peeta cave

“Run, run, run away.”

“Don’t you fret my dear,

It will all be over soon,

I’ll be waiting here, for you.”

“Take the Heartland” by Glen Handsard

IMHO: The Cornucopia when Katniss needs Peeta’s medicine or (Yes Please!) when Katniss blows up the Career’s supplies

“Should I kill you with my sword, yeah?

Or should I kill you with this word?”

“Come away to the Water” by Maroon 5 (feat. Rozzi Crane)

IMHO: Katniss and Peeta in the cave, or Katniss looking for Peeta. The lamb and slaughter lyric is so poignant.  She makes herself so weak by aligning with him, but the Gamemakers made it so. This song shows how manipulative that was.

“Come away little lost come away to the water

to the ones that are only waiting for you

Come away little lost come away to the water

Away from the life that you always knew

We are calling to you

Come away little light come away through the darkness

In the shade of the night we’ll come looking for you

Come away little light, come away to the darkness

To the ones appointed to see it through

“We are calling for you …”

“We are calling for you …”

“Come away little light come away to the darkness, in the shade of the night We’ll be looking for you …

We are coming for you

Come away little lamb come away to the water

Give yourself so we might live anew

Come away little lamb come away to the slaughter

To the ones appointed to see this through

We are coming for you

We are coming for you

(intl)

Come away little lamb come away to the water

To the arms that are waiting only for you

Come away little lamb come away to the slaughter

To the ones appointed to see this through

We are coming for you

We are coming for you

“Run Daddy Run” Miranda Lambert (feat. The Pistol Annies)

IMHO: Another dark day for Katniss. She’s probably thinking about her dad dying, which could coincide with her remembering that Peeta saved her with the bread. I’m also thinking this could be Katniss and Peeta waiting for Cato to come for them at the end of the games.

“Daddy can you hear

The devil drawing near

Like a bullet from a gun

Run daddy run

Mamma’s been crying in the kitchen

Sister’s been afraid of the dark

I’ve been gathering the pieces

Of all these shattered hearts.”

“Rules” by Jame Dee

IMHO: The train ride after

“You say you know love, but you are just reflecting words you hear,

No iron in your veins could give you any sense of pain or fear

It’s just another lie, it’s just another calculation

And when the power’s out, we’re just another old sensation

“This boy keeps me alive, but what is it that runs through you?

Electricity and wires dictating everything we do

You tell me that you hear me

And all your memories are real

But now do I know you, don’t just feel what you’ve been told to feel

We run around the rules …

“Eyes Open” by Taylor Swift

IMHO: Prep teams and the preparation for the parade, or this would be good for end credits as a foreshadowing for the next movie

“Everybody’s waiting

For you to break down

Everybody’s waiting

To see the fallout

Even when you’re sleeping,

Keep you’re eyes, open.

“Lover is Childlike” by The Low Anthem

IMHO: The cave with Katniss and Peeta

“While the band plays the Anthem, she defers that God hates flags.”  

“Just a Game” by Birdy. Okay, first, you need to hear the song from Donny Darko (originally sung by Tears for Fears) because it’s definitely inspired by that song. Also, this song got me. It’s so Katniss-Peeta. Brilliant. As far as when in the movie this happens?

IMHO: I think this is from Peeta’s AND Katniss’s perspective. So, this might be after the interviews on the rooftop, and it could be the cave, but my gut tells me it’s on the train or at the very end after the interviews.

“We’re all just pieces, in their games.”

My brief thoughts overall: I was pleasantly surprised by how District 12 / North Carolina / Katnissy the soundtrack felt, though I was disappointed we didn’t get a track that was the actual score of the movie.

So what do you think about if and when you think these songs will be used in the film?

My 2011 in Books

We’ve established that I am a prolific reader. This blog is mostly about the books I’ve read, so my plan was to write a year-end post about the very best books I experienced in 2011. In reviewing my on-line library, however, I realized that I wanted to comment on more than just the great books, I wanted to share my thoughts on the books that weren’t so great, too. 

I read 76 books in 2011. That’s not including the books I reread because I love them. I can’t go a year without reading The Hunger Games Trilogy, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Wuthering Heights, Graceling and Fire, selected books from the Harry Potter series, and of course the Twilight Saga.

I know. That’s a lot of books. I am a sucker for a free or $99 Kindle ebook and I get sucked into series even if the books are not that great. I’ll be the first to admit my booklist in 2011 was not the most discerning, but there was some fiction that blew my mind, elevated my love of reading, and inspired me to continue to write.

Here is a simple synopsis of books that I loved, books that were okay, and books I wish I had never read.

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
Sweethearts by Sarah Zarr

So there you have it. My 2011 reading list. There are several books I’m excited to read in 2012. I’ll do a post on that soon.

Until then, happy reading!

The Breaking Dawn Soundtrack Preview - My predictions on when we'll hear the songs in the movie

Okay, so I’m a total SWIMFAN when it comes to Twilight. I love the books and the movies of course, but the soundtracks are on constant repeat in my house. With the release of each Twilight soundtrack, we are treated to a preview of the tone of the movie, and the Breaking Dawn soundtrack gives us an exciting glimpse at what we can expect.  

Before New Moon came out, I listened to the soundtrack and my heart almost exploded when I heard “Possibility” by Lykke Li. I knew we would hear this tune when Bella was devastated. It was perfect. My favorite song on that soundtrack, though, is “All I Believe In,” by The Magic Numbers & Amadou & Mariam. It’s a Jacob love song, and I hoped to hear that song when he and Bella became friends. I got my wish. The New Moon soundtrack is diverse, and it’s mostly a blend between rock and roll and ethereal alternative. It gave us a preview of the tone of the movie, which was a blend between hard core heartbreak, building friendship, and unimaginable danger.

The Eclipse soundtrack is also a mix, blending upbeat rock music that works for the struggles in the movie and romantic tunes for more intimate scenes. One of my favorites on this album is “My Love” by Sia, which is perfect for the proposal scene.  The best aspect of the music in Eclipse though, is how the musical director used the song “All Yours” by Metric as the instrumental score for the movie. It made the last scene in the meadow so poignant.

Now I’m listening to the Breaking Dawn Part I soundtrack and it’s beautiful, just like the movie will be. We know that we are going to see the wedding, the honeymoon, the pregnancy, and the birth. It’s going to be crazy, emotional, and beautiful, and the soundtrack sets the tone for that ride. There are few rock and roll songs on the soundtrack because there will be few rock and roll moments in the movie.

I always hope for some Muse, Paramore, and of course, R. Pattz!, but there’s always BD2. Still, the music on this soundtrack is by far my favorite of any of the movies.

So, here are my predictions for when we will hear the songs in the movie.  

1. The Joy Formidable, "Endtapes" – This feels like a Jacob song. We’ll hear this song either when he runs away after getting the invitation, or when he’s about to kill Edward because Bella’s pregnant and dying.

2. Angus & Julia Stone, "Love Will Take You"- This could be honeymoon, but I’m thinking we’ll hear it when Bella’s dying from the pregnancy and Edward is worried.

3. Bruno Mars, "It Will Rain"- I don’t think this will be in the movie. I bet it’s the first song we hear when the credits roll.

4. Sleeping At Last, "Turning Page"- Yay! There’s an instrumental to this one, too, so I hope the music director uses this as the score throughout the movie. If they use this song like they used “All Yours” in Eclipse, it will be the last song we hear before the credits roll, but I bet we first hear this song on Isle Esme wedding, you know, “after.”

5. The Features, "From Now On"­- Fun song. This could be the song they use on the boat on the way to Isle Esme.

6. Christina Perri, "A Thousand Years"­- Bella walking down the aisle. OMG I’m crying already.

7. Theophilus London, "Neighbors"- No clue about this one. End credits maybe?

8. The Belle Brigade, "I Didn't Mean It"- This one feels Jacob-y, too. It’s either Jacob angry at Bella for keeping the baby or dealing with Sam’s pack.

9. Noisettes, "Sister Rosetta (2011 Version)" – This is a tough one. I’m thinking the Cullen’s protecting their land or something with the wolves.

10. Cider Sky, "Northern Lights" – Picture Bella wrapping herself in a towel and running out on the beach on Isle Esme. It works right?

11. Iron & Wine, "Flightless Bird, American Mouth (Wedding Version)" – Bella and Edward’s first dance at the wedding. I love that they reworked this song for this movie!

12. Imperial Mammoth, "Requiem On Water" – Maybe it’s the title, but this could be the swim on Isle Esme? I’m thinking it’s Bella sick when she’s sure she’s going to make it.

13. Aqualung & Lucy Schwartz, "Cold" – Birth scene. Creepy.

14. Mia Maestro, "Llovera" – This song is sung by the actress who plays Carmen, but I don’t think they’ll have this as part of the wedding. I’m thinking honeymoon because it’s in Spanish. Maybe when they’re swimming or dancing in Rio?

15. Carter Burwell, "Love Death Birth" – OMG, again, I love that they bring back the score from the first movie. Yay! This will be used as a musical score throughout the movie, obviously. Wolves running, tender moments, etc.

16. Hard-Fi, “Like a Drug” – Poor Jacob. This will be him frustrated at Bella and not being able to stay away. Also, can I say I almost had a Footloose moment when I heard this song?!

17. Turning Page (Instrumental), Sleeping at Last – Like I said before, I hope this is the musical score throughout the movie.

18. Eclipse (All Yours), Kevin Teasley – I love that they are bringing back the score from Eclipse. I have no idea how this will be used, but I’m guessing some part of the wedding scene.

What do you think?

I can’t wait until November 8^th when I can own all of these songs!

Chairless

I feel like I should explain the book thing.  I have a bit of a reading problem. My to-read list is so long that if it weren’t digital I’d need an entire room to fit all of the books. I read any spare moment I can. I have become annoyed when there is a good show to watch on TV because it’s 23 less minutes of reading time. My sleep patterns are affected and my husband has to force me to turn off the light and go to bed.

The problem started when I was young and my mom gave me The Diary of Anne Frank. I was floored. Literally, my mom had to pick me off the floor when I finished the book. I went for more lighthearted material after that. I loved books that told a relatable story free of any real conflict. I liked contemporary works, no fantasy or sci fi, and only occasionally would I read an historical fiction. I read books about ballet (my sister and I tore through the Satin Slippers Series), Sweet Valley High, and other sugar coated nonsense that makes you want to brush your teeth now, but it was perfect for us back then.

In high school I read Jane Austen for the first time, and I practically fell out of my chair. I love Jane Austen. I’ve read everything she ever wrote. I’ve read Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma dozens of times each. I read them at least once a year because I like to visit my old friends.

From there it was the Bronte sisters, then Dickens, then Forster, then Wilde, then Tolstoy, and then I thought I should probably read something by Americans, so I read Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry James and some others.

Anyway, I was a classics girl right up to college, where I stopped reading novels. I call this the dark ages because there was just no way to read for pleasure with a full college course load. If I read anything outside of the required reading list, it was biographies or memoirs of the people we studied, or non-fiction about relevant events.

I did read one non-school related book in college.  My sorority sisters passed The Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood around so we could each learn the secrets. We would stare significantly into each other’s eyes like the YaYas did. But that was it. The one novel I read in college.

After college I reread A Room with a View by E. M. Forster when I was traveling through Italy, which was perfect because the book starts with a girl touring Florence, and my love of reading was renewed.

And then the real world hit, and thank God for books or I would have to cross oceans to find my happy place. There they were, my old friends Austen and the Bronte sisters (not Anne, the other two), waiting for me to pick them up again and visit. Oh, to be in a world where a girl’s biggest problem was the man she was going to marry!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I live now when I have, you know, choices and the vote, but still, it’s romantic and simpler.

So then I started reading IMPORTANT books. I was a college graduate and a teacher, so I had to be serious and read serious, adult things that MATTERED. So I read Ken Follett and Ken Kesey and Toni Morrison and others. But the books by those authors are not an escape. Those books are work. They are not fun, but they aren’t supposed to be. They are significant commentaries on the human condition and they matter, but I’d rather read about vampires.

I still read literary fiction (although I couldn’t get through the latest Jonathan Franzen book – ugh, depress me as much as possible why don’t you?!), but what I like best are the transformative, coming of age stories that are present in most young adult literature.

I love the Harry Potter books. Love them. If I could do it all over I would go to Hogwarts and be in Ravenclaw and play exploding snap and transfigure things. But I can’t, because it’s not real, so instead I’ll read about Harry. This is another series that has me jumping out of my seat I love it so much.

My real problem started with the Twilight Series. I’m going to be blunt and tell you that whatever you think about these books, they are a gateway drug series and have helped the YA lit market explode. More YA books are being published than ever before, and people of all ages are enjoying these stories. YA lit is about teens, but it is not written solely for teens. Most of the best books I’ve read lately are considered YA lit. If you want to know more, check out the Forever Young Adult webpage. They are brilliant.

So, the Twilight Series. I love it. I know it’s cheezy and misogynistic, but it’s also a well-told story. I love the characters and the world that Stephanie Myers created. So, although I wouldn’t have made the same choices that Bella did (Team Go-To-College-And-Get-Your-Own-Life), I like seeing her struggle through the consequences of those choices. I love how Myers writes about love. It’s so pure. It’s also limited and less complicated than real love, but it’s a fantasy.

Speaking of fantasy, a few years ago I realized that there was a whole world of great books out there that I never picked up because I thought I didn’t like fantasy. Obviously if I liked Harry Potter and Twilight, I might like others. So, my world opened up. I will read any dystopia you put in front of me. I will read about vampires and werewolves and fallen angels and magic. But no fairies. I draw the line at fairies.

If you haven’t read the Hunger Games yet, you need to. Now. Not because it’s trendy and there is a movie coming out, but because it’s good and it’s a significant commentary on the sacrifices, strategies, struggles, and choices that are made because of war.

When I think about it, the fact that I read mostly YA lit is not surprising. I’ve always loved these stories. Jane Austen’s main characters are in their early 20s at most. And what more fantasy is there than regency-era England? It’s all fantasy, it’s all an escape.

I’m always searching for the next thing that will force me out of the furniture. It started with Anne Frank, continued to all of Jane Austen’s work, then Harry and Bella and Katniss entered my life.  I love reading a new book, hoping it will be the next thing that renders me chairless.

I’ll probably talk a lot about the books I’ve read on here. It’s my candy, so I hope you want to share with me.
