This week, we’re diving into Sunrise on the Reaping by the iconic Suzanne Collins—our May Book of the Month and one of the most exciting additions to the Hunger Games universe yet. We recorded this one in our pod studio (!!!) and had an absolute blast unpacking the world, the characters, and all the ways this story wrecked us—in the best way. 🎧🔥

From the return to District 12 🏹 to the haunting echoes of the early Reapings 🎟️, we’re breaking down everything we loved (and maybe feared) about this powerful new installment. The mockingjays are singing 🐦‍⬛… and we have a lot to say.

Tribute talk? Character spirals? Wild theories? You already know.

Grab your bows 🏹, your baked goods 🥖, and your tissues 😭—this one’s for the nerds.

Secrets come to light.
Masks fall away.
And what’s left behind is complicated, devastating, and unforgettable.

Let’s talk about it — one last spiral for the road.

Daniel said “let’s unpack that” and then absolutely wrecked the room. 🫣🩸
