I can't be the only one who thought Haymitch and Maysilee...

Would have a form of a romantic connection. Obviously we know what happens to Maysilee but I didn't really "feel" the love connection between Lenore and Haymitch. Based on the synopsis of the book and calling Maysilee "the most stuck up girl in town" I feel somehow maybe Collins' original direction was to go that way before realizing it was too similar to Katniss/Peeta and other arena romances. It honestly could have been a slow burn type romance and I was half expecting Lenore to somehow betray Haymitch (like getting with one of his friends or something or whatever else) and then he eventually falls for maysilee, holds her in his arms as she dies.

That said I think Sunrise on the Reaping will make an amazing movie. Sunrise was probably my least favorite book wise, though that epilogue and after the games GOT TO ME. but I think it will make an even better movie since we can see outside Haymitch point of view too. I do hope they do a bit better job of Lenore/Haymitch in the movie too. It didn't really "hit" for me.

Below is my movie and book ranking :)

Books:

Catching Fire, Hunger Games, Mockingjay, Ballad of Songbirds, Sunrise on the Reaping

Movies:

Catching Fire, Hunger Games, Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (tied with HG), Mockingjay part 2, Mockingjay part 1

I predict sunrise as a movie will likely tie with HG and TBOSAS as an adaptation or be second after CF
