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 great way to enjoy a book. I do that when I really want to devour a book, get fully immersed and tear through it as fast as possible. Usually, I'm reading on Kindle and listening on Audible, so it syncs my place between the different apps. I don't usually listen while I'm actually reading, though there's nothing wrong with doing that either. Reading along while you listen is a good approach if you're finding something kind of difficult. The audio helps you keep momentum and the visual helps you stay focused.
