Send us a textWelcome to Ashley & Liz’s dystopian sci fi episode bonus series: The Hunger Games!If you’ve been following along and watched our “From 1984 to Hunger Games” dystopian themes in media and literature episode then you know we’re fascinated with everything about this genre and needed to delve into this discussion! It just happens to be a BIG bonus that Ashley had never read it before. Watch here | https://youtu.be/Ns4E87T36KQ?si=P0wXBSgyvRkNAABdThe debate currently on the book talk table is whether or not books (and the act of reading) are inherently political. We’d encourage anyone who has a doubt in their mind to read this series… it’s timely, powerful, and a story that will rip your soul right out. The perfect cocktail for the reading obsessed. Episode 1 covers book 1: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The first five-ish minutes are spoiler free with our one sentence rapid star reviews. Then we jam pack this mini episode with an entire plot summary in five sentences (with a special surprise of course!), discuss what our faves and fail characters and plot points are, our feelings, notable quotes, and end with a fun piece of Hunger Games trivia.Join our Virtual Book Club & Buddy Read on Fable! | https://fable.co/club/hg-minisode-read-with-bestiesandthebookclub-161881401047Don't be shy, subscribe!
