PANEM: Spell it Out by using the first letter of a book title.
The Capitol The Capitol is the seat of Panem's brutal, totalitarian government and is located in the western Rocky Mountains of the former United States and Canada. The Capitol is surrounded by twelve outlying districts over which it rules absolutely.
Citizens of the Capitol are far removed from the deprivation and open oppression of the twelve Districts, and are generally preoccupied with extravagant fashion, parties, and mass entertainment like the Hunger Games.
° Read a book that shows something extravagant on the cover.
° Read a book features a ruler, Good or Bad.
° Read a book About a town that survived something, that others did not.
District 1 specializes in producing luxury items such as jewelry. Children living there take pride in representing District 1 in the Games, and are often among the group of tributes nicknamed "Careers", who illegally train for the Games from a young age.
° Read a book with a career choice on its cover.
° Read a book with treasure/Gemstones as its theme.
° Read a book that has a young person doing "battle".
District 2 is in charge of stone cutting, fighting, and weapon making, though it was revealed in Mockingjay that it is also a center of training for the Capitol's army of Peacekeepers. District 2 is a large district in the Rocky Mountains, not far from the Capitol itself. Its citizens have better living conditions than most other districts; support for Capitol control is stronger here than in any other district. Some citizens of District 2 give their children names of Ancient Roman or Greek style, like those common in the Capitol. District 2 tributes often volunteer for the Games even when not selected in the drawing (this is said to make the Reapings very difficult).
° Read a book with mountains on the cover.
° Read a book where a character has an ancient Greek or Roman name.
° Read a book where someone chooses to do something dangerous.
District 3 specializes in the production of electronics. Most of its inhabitants work in factories and are very adept in skills such as engineering, which its tributes have used to their advantage in the Games. In the 74th Hunger Games, the male tribute from District 3 managed to reactivate the land-mines surrounding the Cornucopia so they could be used to protect the supplies of the Careers.Although District 3 seems to have technological advantages over other districts, it is actually the poorest out of the wealthiest districts and typically doesn't do well in the Games.
° Read a book with an electronic device on the cover.
° Read a book that has land-mines or bombs in it.
° Read a book where someone dies at some point in the book.
District 4 is a coastal district that specializes in fishing. It is another wealthy district in which children often train to become Career tributes (tributes from this district are not considered careers in the film adaption). It is said that District 4 has the most "decent-looking" people. The most popular bread baked in this District is a salty, fish-shaped loaf tinted green by seaweed.
° Read a book that has some type of sea creature on its Cover.
° Read a book where someone likes, or has to fish.
° Read a book that mainly takes place in, or around a body of water.
District 5 specializes in electrical power,[10] which Caesar Flickerman referred as the 'Power Plant Workers'.The "Power Plant Workers" do indeed work on power plants to create electricity, but also in factories creating machines and the like. The hours are long and pay is not very good. Conditions are harsh and unforgiving.
° Read a book where is is no power.
° Read a book where a place of business is on the cover.
° Read a book where someone lives in harsh conditions.
District 6 specializes in transportation, serving as a hub for the transport network.
° Read a book with a form of transportation on the cover.
° Read a book where there is a flying vehicle.
° Read a book where someone must travel a long distance to get somewhere.
District 7 specializes in lumber and paper. Apparently a large proportion of District 7's forest consists of pine, Johanna Mason comments that pine needles "smell like home."
° Read a book that has a book on its Cover.
° Read a book that is set in the woods or forest.
° Read a book about someone who works with wood.
District 8 specializes in textiles (including at least one factory in which Peacekeeper uniforms are made).
° Read a book with someone in a uniform on the cover.
° Read a book that has someone who makes their own clothing.
° Read a book that shows a beautiful dress on the cover.
District 9 specializes in producing grain. Not a lot is known about this district .

° Read a book that features a garden or farm land in the book.
° Read a book about a Vegetarian.
District 10 specializes in livestock.
° Read a book with An animal on the cover.
° Read a book about a cook or baker.
° Read a book where someone works a restaurant or diner.
District 11 specializes in agriculture. It is located somewhere in the South and is very large. The people are housed in small shacks and there is a harsh force of Peacekeepers. Common traits are dark skin and brown eyes. According to Rue, many tracker jacker nests were left there, leading the workers to keep medicinal leaves on hand. In the orchards, small children were sent into the branches to pick the highest fruit. Sometimes during the height of the harvest they were given night-vision goggles to allow them to work after dark. The district also contained fields of vegetables. The inhabitants apparently have extensive knowledge of herbs.
° Read a book with a child on the cover.
° Read a book where someone works with herbs.
° Read a book where someone works the night shift.
District 12 specializes in mining (mainly coal) and is the farthest from the capitol. They are at a disadvantage in the Hunger Games because they don't learn their district specialty until they are 18. Katniss, Peeta, and other major characters come from District 12. It is located in the Appalachian Mountains, and the district itself is split into two distinct housing areas and social classes. "The Seam" is a slum where those who work in the coal mines live, whereas the mercantile class lives in the town, centered around the "Square". Both classes are easy to distinguish physically and generally socialize amongst themselves. Those from the Seam generally have dark hair, grey eyes, and olive skin, and those from merchant families typically have blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Katniss and Gale are from The Seam, whereas Peeta is a baker's son from town. It is unclear if this class divide exists in other Districts or is unique to District 12.
° Read a book that has a mountain or hills on the cover.
° Read a book that the theme is mining.
° Read a book features a town square.
Before the Dark Days war, District 13 specialized in nuclear technology and mining graphite. It was also the Capitol's weapons manufacturer until the rebellion. During the Dark Days, they were one of the major forces of the rebellion. Near the end of the Dark Days they managed to take control of the nuclear arsenal. District 13 was supposedly bombed and destroyed before the first annual Hunger Games at the end of the Dark Days war.
° Read a book with a weapon on the cover.
° Read a book that has an "End of the world" theme.
