The New Hunger Games Book Releases Next Week and Preorders Are Already Discounted

Suzanne Collins' highly anticipated fifth installment in *The Hunger Games* series, *Sunrise on the Reaping*, is set to be the biggest book release of 2025. Already a bestseller on Amazon, consistently ranking in the top five even before its official release, the book's popularity is unsurprising, given the success of the film adaptations of the previous novels. In fact, *Sunrise on the Reaping* itself is slated for a movie adaptation in 2026.

*Sunrise on the Reaping* will be released on Tuesday, March 18th. Amazon currently offers discounts on both hardcover and Kindle editions. Barnes & Noble and Target also offer exclusive editions with bonus content.
