As the title says I've been unable to read anything but Suzanne Collins' hunger games books to completion in a while. Everything else just gets boring so quickly. I don't like a ton of spicy but won't hate it. I love well-written characters and human connection. Descriptions of nature and food with some conflict and fighting and adventure. I'm considering rereading the Percy Jackson books but I really want to read new stuff and even books for adults like myself if possible. I just want an idea of where to go from here. The devoured Sunrise on the Reaping and I honestly laud it as one of the best books I've ever read now. After that my book club read all the hunger games books (which I'd already read) and now I'm reading song birds and snakes and am loving it. I just need anything else that I can actually read to completion without getting bored.

if you like the hunger games, i definitely recommend more classic dystopian novels. the reason why the hunger games is such a great series is because it’s a very thoughtful and beautiful political allegory disguised as a shitty teen fiction, and if you’re looking for other pieces that are meant to make you think in the same way THG does, classics are a great place to start. ray bradbury and kurt vonnegut are the two authors that immediately come to mind for me. george orwell is also good but his pieces are a lot more slow-paced and can get very boring very easily. a lot of classics are shorter too which makes them much easier to finish
Susanna Clarke
Try the Atlantis Grail series by Vera Nazarian. I think the first book Qualify is still a free ebook on Amazon.
Maybe Lois Lowry? Try reading The Giver. It’s another one that may be technically for young adults or teens but reads well for adults.
