Peter Glassman also revealed that they might have tried to get an editor or someone else who works with Suzanne Collins to come to the store. Peter Glassman also mentioned that he would have tried to have an actor give a dramatic reading of The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes. Taking about reality, Peter Glassman said that we have to deal with what we are dealing with.

Peter Glassman while talking about the virtual party and reading, said that with any luck the store will sell a good number. Hunger Games prequel book The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes is said to be one of the most high-profile releases since the bookstores are shut due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Unlike movies or plays, the books can be enjoyed. But reportedly, the promotion of the book will most likely be limited to the internet.
