Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (book two of the Hunger Games trilogy): Katniss barely made it through the last Hunger Games and is just starting to figure out the pieces of her life again.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins (a Hunger Games novel): Decades before Katniss Everdeen, young Coriolanus Snow had to fight for every meal that came his way. The odds finally align in his favor when he is selected to mentor the District 12 girl in the Hunger Games. If everything goes right, he can get himself back on his feet, but one wrong step could mean dishonor worse than death.

Sunrise of The Reaping by Suzanne Collins (a Hunger Games novel): Before Katniss Everdeen but after Snow's rise to power, Haymitch was forced to fight in the Hunger Games.

When he finally stops to think, the punishment he faces is beyond anything he was prepared to deal with.
