Episode 032: Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor

Because of some major technical difficulties, you can expect this episode to be less well-edited: sound levels are not fully set, and we meander far more than Nathan generally allows. BUT, we do have an in-depth discussion of Laini Taylor's Strange The Dreamer, complete with wildly divergent opinions, (srsly, though, we love you Laini Taylor, come on the show!),

We discuss the concept of crafting read-a-likes today and during this informal discussion, Lindsey suggests I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak, and Nate suggests Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman.

Additionally, Lindsey suggests Bitter Blue by Kristin Cashore and the Netflix series Jessica Jones.

Cash Money suggests The Passion of Dolssa by Julie Berry and Scythe by Neal Shusterman.

Amy seconds Scythe.

Kim suggests Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor and Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo.

Nathan suggests the 1985 feature film Ladyhawke and the anime series Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (you should also read the manga by Hiromu Arakawa).

Nate suggests The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black and Shadow Shaper by Daniel José Older.

There is also a lot of discussion of the book And I Darken by Kiersten White: our sort of perennially favorite divisive title.
