The eagerly awaited new addition to the Hunger Games series, *Sunrise on the Reaping*, is my top pick for the most anticipated book release of 2025. It's been dominating Amazon's best sellers list throughout the year, impressively securing a spot in the top five even before its release. This is no surprise, given that all previous Hunger Games novels have been successfully adapted into blockbuster films. Excitingly, *Sunrise on the Reaping* is also set to hit the big screen in 2026.
Sunrise on the Reaping will be released on Tuesday, March 18. Currently, Amazon is offering discounts on both hardcover and Kindle editions. Additionally, exclusive editions with special extras are available at Barnes & Noble and Target.
