Catching Fire is the second movie in the Hunger Games series, and it is an absolute must-watch. The movie takes us deeper into the world of the Capitol and the life of the people living in the Districts. I enjoyed the exciting experience to watch the story unfold, with original characters and new ones being introduced. The movie is a great portrayal of the tension between the districts and the Capitol, and it does an excellent job of highlighting the 75th Hunger Games.

Books are amazing! They have this magical power that can transport us to different worlds and ignite our imaginations. One book that absolutely blew my mind is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It's the first book of a trilogy and is narrated by Katniss Everdeen. The story takes us to a future where The Capitol is in charge of everything and has all the power. The way the older sister protects her little sister and tries to win the game was truly amazing and kept me hooked.
