Reading Held Hostage ·

2024/02/13

In this episode of Reading Held Hostage Blue really tried, but for the first time on this podcast, and one of very few times in general, she could not finish this book.

We did get as much as we could into this episode only because it would have been really mentally uncomfortable to leave this episode out. Please enjoy the baby sounds.Reach out to us about anything at ReadingHeldHostage@gmail.comFollow us on TikTok

Reading Held Hostage ·

2023/12/26

In this episode of Reading Held Hostage Blue reads the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. The stand alone novel written to accompany the original Hunger Games trilogy. This breaks the rule that Blue has brought up time and time again “I won’t read it because you should have put it in the first books?” But in reality, this book is actually really good, and TikTok is simping over the actor who plays President Snow.
