As a fan of the Hunger Games series, I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the new novel, Sunrise on the Reaping, which is set to be one of the most anticipated book releases of 2025. This latest installment from Suzanne Collins has already secured its spot on Amazon's best sellers list and impressively climbed into the top five even before its official release. Given the franchise's successful transition to film, it's no wonder that Sunrise on the Reaping is generating such excitement, especially with news of its own movie adaptation slated for 2026.
Sunrise on the Reaping will hit the shelves on Tuesday, March 18, 2025. Currently, Amazon is offering discounts on both the hardcover and Kindle editions. For those interested in something a bit more special, exclusive editions with additional content are available at Barnes & Noble and Target.

What Is Sunrise on the Reaping About?
The new Hunger Games novel, the fifth in the series, introduces a fresh perspective set 40 years post-The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and 24 years before the events of the original Hunger Games. Sunrise on the Reaping unfolds during the Second Quarter Quell, a crucial event won by Haymitch Abernathy, who fans will remember as District 12's mentor and portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the films.
