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!

    Let me get this straight. You read Cursed Child, but not any of the mainline Harry Potter books… and then, as your second book, went straight for DUNE?

    To answer your question, I think it’s fine to listen to the audiobook while reading. That way you’ll know how to spell Peeta (not Pita).

      Hey there! 😄 Yeah, my reading journey has been a bit unconventional. Cursed Child was a total accident—I found it during some free time at the school library, took it home without permission, and voila, my love for reading sparked there! (didn’t even know it was the scripted edition, to be honest).

      As for DUNE, the impending movie got me curious, and diving into that book was a bit of a rollercoaster at first. It turned out to be a literary Masterpiece, though! After Mistborn, I’ve now found myself delving into The Hunger Games Series.
