What’s up Everyone I hope you guys are having a fantastic day!

I recently got my hands on the first Hunger Games book as a gift (thanks, local library anniversary event!). Now, here’s the kicker—I know zilch about this series, like absolutely nothing.

So, I stumbled upon the audiobook sample on Play Store and, surprise, I really liked it!

Now, here’s where I need your take. As a newbie to this whole book-reading thing (my first three were Cursed Child, DUNE, Mistborn, and Hunger Games will be my fourth),

I’m considering diving into The Hunger Games while simultaneously listening to the audiobook.

What are your thoughts on this approach? Any pros or cons you’ve experienced? I’m all ears (or eyes, in this case) for your insights!

Thanks in advance guys!

    I’ve done this once but not with The Hunger Games and only with a book which I’d read a bunch of times before. Even then it was a bit confusing and I only kept going because, although I generally prefer reading, I wanted to listen to it too on the commute.

    If it’s your first time with the story I’d recommend sticking to one medium. It’ll be much easier to immerse yourself in the world if it’s either all audio or all all text and you can always go back afterwards and experience it the other way once you’re finished.

    (The Hunger Games trilogy are some of my favourite books btw! I absolutely devoured them even at the age of 26.)
