After absolutely loving our miniseries on Songbirds and Snakes, we knew it was time for Geek Between the Lines to do a read-along book club podcast of The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins! During 2022, we'll discuss 2-3 chapters per episode as we journey through Panem. And, if you've never read these brilliant books before, we will always announce spoilers so you can skip them while still getting to have the fun experience of reading the trilogy together. 🏹🔥🍞
In each of our episodes on The Hunger Games book, we explore things we noticed for the first time, POVs other than Katniss', elements that connect to our world, and what the chapters are making us ponder moving forward.
Scroll down to see amazing fanart of Chapters 1-10.
Listen to this first 5 podcast episodes right here:
From Madge's goodbye and gift, to mentor-mentee relationships, to Peeta's perspective on how Katniss flagrantly defies Effie on the train, there are so many fascinating things to explore in Chapters 3-4!
Our conversation on Chapters 5-6 includes new Cinna obversations, Effie doing more than her job, internalized standards of beauty, Opening Ceremony horses and fans, and so much more!
In Chapters 7-8 we look at everything from Rue choosing to shadow Katniss and Peeta , to Katniss shooting at the Gamemakers, to Haymitch using the irkdearment 'sweatheart', to food, food, and more food!
To continue with our Part II episodes when Katniss enters the Games, go here.
