    Just Friends Forever - Catching Fire, 22-End

    📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 How do you walk the line between compelling and frustrating when your POV character is clueless about what's going on around her?  Does the conditioning of their everyday world excuse their inability to recognize physical and emotional longing when they arise? And does that inability make for a good story? "Why is everyone trying to save Peeta when I specifically requested it?" How much humanity and baseline compassion should your characters sacrifice in order to create a scene that traumatizes that POV character for the sake of a good story? Does Jess really call... it... "mooooooo"? These questions and more drive Jess, Katy, and Julia as they tackle the plot, characterization, and divisive cliffhanger of the final chapters of Suzanne Collins's Catching Fire.  BookShopEvery purchase on the site financially supports independent bookstores.RedBubbleBringing more creativity into the world.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

    Sugar Cubes and Strategically-Placed Knots - Catching Fire, 15-21

    📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 We've established that underwear does exist in Panem, so why isn't anyone wearing it? Our ongoing discussion of Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games series continues with even more of Catching Fire. Amidst continuing angst over Katniss's "friend" problem, Jess and Julia discuss communication tropes, how flat characters can be used to effectively portray thematic elements, some speculation on how things might have played out differently if certain characters' political gambits had actually worked, teenage hormones, and... cows.  BookShopEvery purchase on the site financially supports independent bookstores.RedBubbleBringing more creativity into the world.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

    The Chosen One™ - Catching Fire, 8-14

    📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 Whose bright idea was it to make a teenage girl the symbol of an uprising against tyranny?  Our deep dive into Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games series continues, with Jess and Julia tackling the literary path of Katniss's mid-Catching Fire character development, the sheer illogic of many tropes that YA fiction takes for granted, sooo many sad emojis over Haymitch, even more of that ongoing "just friends" frustration, and of course, much more.  BookShopEvery purchase on the site financially supports independent bookstores.RedBubbleBringing more creativity into the world.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

    Team Asexual Katniss: The Hunger Games, 22-27

    📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 Our dive into The Hunger Games continues with that age-old debate: which boy is the right boy? Is there a right boy? Is our hatred of the one boy due to his behavior now, or our knowledge of his later behavior? If there are teenage boys, then why is there none of the hormonally-driven physiology and behavior that we all know comes with being a teenage boy? Or girl, for that matter? Join Jess, Katy, and Julia as they ask these questions and more, diving into the many-year influence of Suzanne Collins's seminal work, its impact on our hosts' generation, and its relevance to modern culture and politics.
