The movies are good, but the books are even better. All three are in Kindle Unlimited!
Start with this one so you get the full impact of Katniss's relationship with her hunting buddy Gale. Then read the second one and you will see that Catching Fire is all about the love triangle between Katniss, Peeta, and Gale, an undercurrent which the movie missed. I haven't seen the third movie yet, but I'm sure the third book far exceeds it, too.

When Kate Pierce-Keller’s grandmother gives her a strange blue medallion and speaks of time travel, sixteen-year-old Kate assumes the old woman is delusional. But it all becomes horrifyingly real when a murder in the past destroys the foundation of Kate’s present-day life. Suddenly, that medallion is the only thing protecting Kate from blinking out of existence.
Kate learns that the 1893 killing is part of something much more sinister, and her genetic ability to time travel makes Kate the only one who can fix the future. Risking everything, she travels back in time to the Chicago World’s Fair to try to prevent the murder and the chain of events that follows.
Changing the timeline comes with a personal cost—if Kate succeeds, the boy she loves will have no memory of her existence.
