    Plutarch was part of the team there to document the District 12 Tributes for the Quarter Quell similar to what Cressida was doing with her team in Mockingjay. Plutarch was not a Peacekeeper.

  • Like hanging with friends

    I am so happy to be alive at the same time as this podcast. An absolute inspiration to the people who lived through the times of YA’s popularity in the 2000’s. Highly recommend starting off with their Twilight saga.
