Tomes & Tonics

It's finally happening! This week, we kick off our read through of the worldwide phenomenon - "The Hunger Games," and Christina is enjoying watching Lauren embark on this new journey. Before we dive into our thoughts on the first installment, we chat about our current reads, plan our spooky season theme, and introduce a new segment based on Fable's new TBR shortlist feature and select our three priority reads for June! Then we go right into Panem to discuss "The Hunger Games," the film, the characters, and Lauren's burning questions and predictions (no spoilers please!). So grab your favorite cocktail/mocktail and tune in for another episode of Tomes & Tonics - and as always, may the odds be ever in your favor!
