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!

    It’s a form of immersive reading. I personally love it & do it whenever I can (borrowing both text & audio from my library). It helps me focus on the story. It’s fun when you enjoy the narrator in particular, which sounds like you do. Doing both is especially helpful to me for challenging books. Not saying this book will be a challenge, but remember that reading is a skill and, if you’re not in practice, it can be easy to let your mind wander.

    Go for it and see how you like it! There’s little to lose.
