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 poised 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 undeniable.

*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.
