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 it before. Usually in the form of a book I really like and can’t put down - getting the audio version from the library means I can keep “reading” while I have to work lol.

    As for reading and listening at the same time, I’ve done that for some books I’ve found difficult to follow. For instance, Camus’s Myth of Sisyphus - my brain kept losing the thread in the middle of sentences, so having the audio as well helped keep me on track.
