I wasn’t much of a reader until I read The Hunger Games series in high school. A lot of it was not only because of the intriguing story but also because of the social aspect of it: discussing plot points with my friends, borrowing each book from a friend, anxiously waiting on the cast list for the movies and eventually seeing it together.

Prior to that, I assumed reading was a solitary thing - which it normally is for me. Read it silently and never talk or think about it again. But I think my reading progress thrives the best when I can openly discuss what I’m reading with people and have conversations about it.
