So many fun questions and thorough answers sprinkled with enough fun, pop culture references and humor to make the book fly by. Now I’ll probably have to listen again and again… darn.

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding. It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans - except Katniss.

It was such a good book, but it’s like no one left the Hunger Games until the end and even after the victors were trapped in the arena that was now their minds.

Ansley Park is one of Atlanta’s most desirable neighborhoods. But in one mansion, in a teenager’s lavish bedroom, a girl has been savagely murdered. In the hallway, her horrified mother stands amid shattered glass, having killed her daughter’s attacker with her bare hands. Detective Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is here only to do a political favor; the murder site belongs to the Atlanta police. But Trent soon sees something the cops are missing, something in the trail of blood, in a matrix of forensic evidence, and in the eyes of the shell-shocked mother.

Got into Will Trent series thanks to the TV show. Loving the books so far and the glaring differences in characters. Overall though, the series has enough to keep the average crime lover engaged and the new reader ready for more.

Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent's head and carry it through the goalposts. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. But all the players are "threeps", robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden's Syndrome, so anything goes. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real, and the crowds love it. Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field.

It’s a very innovative sci-fi crime drama that really focuses on the aspect of people piloting robots out of necessity. This installment shows how necessity follows change and how corruption is parallel to success in many ways.

Unique take on slasher film origins dealing with Final Girls, adds in some mystery components. The main character is not very likable in any stretch of the imagination. She makes it hard to continue. The best allegory was tying women to birth and men to death and that’s how they relate to the slasher genre.

Patricia Campbell's life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to give her a goodbye kiss in the morning, her kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she's always a step behind on thank-you notes and her endless list of chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and paperback fiction. At these meetings they're as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are marriage, motherhood, and neighborhood gossip.

Always Love an Interesting Take on Vampires
Reviewed: 01-05-24
Gives you some nostalgic vibes of the early 90's mixed with traditional housewives and all the upsets that came with them. Mix in a vampire and some sadistic scenes, you get TSBCGTSV. Be warned there are some SA references that can make people uneasy, but it proves the nature of this character and adds to the book in the long run.

Some Overused Themes Kinda Spoiled It
Reviewed: 09-26-23
This story was so close to being a good 5-star thriller. I understand the era of Covid and Holly being a bit of a germaphobe, I just don't know why it was habitually repeated every chapter. I think almost every chapter contained Covid, masking or Trump. It detracted from the story, which was great and pushing King's political opinions aside can only work for so long before you start disliking a character because of it.
It is what it is though and would still love to see where Holly goes in the future.

3's Along the Board
Reviewed: 08-22-23
I think it's a decent audio drama, but the trope of English accents to differentiate vampires was cringy for me. I think it'd be more interesting if this showed up as a limited series, but since so many factors have been done before in film it's never going to take place. So, middle of the pack here. Great bonus for Audible members though.

George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is an intimate part of our contemporary culture, quoted so often that we tend to forget who wrote the original words! This must-read is also a must-listen!

Classic
Reviewed: 06-15-23
Classics have a way of describing the landscape of a situation through deep thinking and I remember the first time I read this novel and actually thinking past the scenario or characters into what was possibly being described. Now, as an adult, you can see the nods towards communism, the cyclical nature of greed and power, not to mention political propaganda.
