  2. 2 Catching Fire 2009
  3. 3 Mockingjay 2010
  4. 4 The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes 2020

The original trilogy and the two prequel novels, listed in the order they were published. Companion books and film tie-ins are outside this list.

Checked against Open Library

Each book was looked up in Open Library's record of Suzanne Collins's works. Where more than one work carries the same title, the one with the most editions was used, and the earliest year printed on any of its editions is shown below as the earliest edition listed in Open Library. Each year links to that edition's record.
