Book Look: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

All of the YA/middle grade staples are returning in earnest in this new decade. There's an "Artemis Fowl" movie coming (finally), Percy Jackson has a reboot, and now let's read a Hunger Games prequel.

Coriolanus Snow is a kid whose family has fallen on hard times, after being one of the prime families in the Capitol of Panem. You can tell because he and his cousin, who would become the half-cat lady hiding in the costume shops in Mockingjay, keep repeating "Snow lands on top". He pretends he still has his wealth and prestige when in reality, they're sinking.

Things About Animal (Crossing)

I've played this series since the first entry on the Gamecube - Though, savvy gamers will know that Japan had it first on the Nintendo 64 called "Animal Forest".

Nearly 20 years later, it's still going relatively strong. I've tried the mainline games, and never bothered with Pocket Camp or Happy Home Designer or that silly Mario Party-esque one.

Now, thanks to a very kind benefactor, I have Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the Switch, and have had it for a month.

There's nothing to review - You do what you want. But there are things to like and dislike.

I like the lighting and views at different times of day.
