In this episode of Reading Held Hostage we start to learn about The Hunger Games Trilogy and Susan Collins. Since we are starting a new book and it has a lot of back story, if you have read the books or seen the movies, feel free to skip like 15 minutes in as Blue sets the world up. Also, interesting fact, Susan Collins, as of now, does not have any scandals, so that is cool. Keep listening to learn how Katniss wins the Hunger Games!

**Possible Triggers: racism, Genocide, child endangerment, death *

In this episode of Reading Held Hostage we learn how an Author who describes themselves as ‘morally conservative’ thinks 6 year old children would be treated in the future. In this episode Blue read Ender’s Game which is an absolute si-fi classic. Not only that, but she is joined by Faith, her sister, and Maria, her sisters friend, instead of that stinky old husband of hers. This episode is pretty long, but there is a lot going on in this book, so please join us to learn all about Ender Wiggin.

**Possible Triggers: renesme, blood, pedophillia**

In this episode of Reading Held Hostage Justin gets a little heated about Charlie and Jacob and how Jacob does crap he should not be doing. Bella finally opens her eyes and has her first hunting experience in this world where panthers are not extinct and cops are super cool and friendly. Unfortunately, there is more talk about the little baby Renesme and her creepy long hair at only a few days old. Let us know what you think and follow us on social media!

**Possible Triggers: renesmee, blood, imprinting  **

In this episode of Reading Held Hostage it finally happens, the baby is born. And with her birth, we have the most unnecessary plot twist of ever, and Jacob imprints on a newborn baby. So that’s cool, I guess. Join us on this episode as we really hold back a lot of what we want to say about this situation.

**Possible Triggers: blood, grooming**

In this episode of Reading Held Hostage we learn what it is like to be a nosey, shitty teen boy who can’t listen when someone says no. Yes, we are referencing Jacob, who else would we be talking about. Unfortunately, he gets a significant part of the book and even gets his own perspective. I suppose we learned a lot about the pack and his thoughts, but they all sucked so bad.

**Possible Triggers: sex**

In this episode of Reading Held Hostage our favorite couple, Bella and Edward, finally have s*x. The moment we have all been waiting for, maybe. Or at least someone was waiting for it. Join Justin and Blue as they discuss how not kid friendly this book is. How are kids relating to a wedding, marriage and sex? We really hope they are not.

**Possible Triggers: Sexual assault discussion during chapter 23 ending at 27:09 **

In this episode of Reading Held Hostage we FINALLY finish Eclipse. Victoria makes her last ditch appearance with the funniest description I have ever read in a book. Justin gets mad and puts on a 7 minute timer. And the cats keep jumping up on Blue’s back interruption the podcast. But we made it and the ending is pretty chill and really not that exciting, but next week we will start Breaking Dawn. Which Blue is embarrassed to say she does really like.

**Possible Triggers: Sexual assault **

In this episode of Reading Held Hostage we try our very best to not talk about what happened last book and move on. Which is exactly what Stephanie Meyers thought Bella would do. We learn a little bit of hot gossip about the wolves inner lives and also just about the easiest and dumbest battle advice anyone has ever heard. Please make sure to vote on if you think Alice or Edward would win in a fight!
