Catching Fire - Part 2 (The Hunger Games Trilogy)

The Quarter Quell just got a whole lot more destructive as the victors prep for their unexpected return to the games. Katniss and Peeta adjust to their new strategies and work to make alliances, but are unsure of who they can really trust. Meanwhile, the looming rebellion seems to be taking hold of all the districts with whispers of uprisings ringing through everyone's ears. Meggie and Laura are probably a little too excited to relive the rereading of the latter half of Catching Fire, but that's okay! The arena is still as cool as you remember it to be!!!This show is a part of Audio Mint.

Final Thoughts: Private Series

After a season of lies, murder, mystery, withcraft, and burying trauma while somehow maintaining grades at an elite private school: Meggie and Laura have finally finished Kate Brian's Private Series.

Vengeance (Private #14)

It's the end of 2021 and its the finale for the Private series and Laura and Meggie are ready to break down the fourteenth book, Vengeance. Taking place 4 months after her birthday (and Mr. Lange's death), Reed is using her inheritance to finally rebuild Billings (okay, girlboss alert!) tbh it's weird to say goodbye to this series at the end of her junior year and also, the whole witch thing? Forget about that, that's not in the plot anymore!

Ominous (Private #13)

After finding out that her and Noelle are sisters and ALSO witches, (Meggie and Laura really weren't expecting such a shift in the series plot, but let's run with it!!!) Reed finds herself back at school, tempted to start dabbling in the Book of Spells. Chaos ensues as she starts having witchy-nightmares and the Billings girls start disappearing one by one. Can teenage-witch Reed save everyone before her 17th birthday party? Or will the sinister presence on campus finally get her for good?

Vanished (Private #12)

Noelle is gone and her kidnappers target Reed as the only person that can rescue her. If not? She gets murdered. Remember last book how we started a secret society? That's not important anymore!!! In what can only be described as a PG-rated version of a "Saw" movie, Reed is given tasks she must complete in order to save her best friend. And Laura and Meggie are absolutely here for this 200 page chaotic mess as we get closer and closer to the series finale.

Scandal (Private #11)

Billings has been destroyed. Or has it? After Reed mysteriously receives a spooky old book titled "Billings Literary Society" she decides to reinstate what turns out to be a secret society. Meggie and Laura are honestly pretty bored with this book (how did we go from being stranded on an island to this weird book club plot line?!) but they make the most of it as they discuss some major plot-holes, the boys at Easton, and Reed as an unreliable protagonist.

Suspicion (Private Series #10)

Welp, Laura & Meggie were not expecting this whole St. Barth's trip to take place over 2 books, but here we are!!! Reed manages to survive being pushed overboard from a luxury yacht, and then for some reason decides to keep vacationing and ignore her problems (we've all been there!). As you can imagine things are about to go from bad to worse as whoever wanted Reed dead is still out there and she's made plenty of enemies on this trip in the 1 week she's been there.
