Episode 038: Far From the Tree by Robin Benway

In this episode, we discuss National Book Award winner Far From the Tree by Robin Benway.

Kim suggests They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera.

Amy suggests The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas.

Molly suggests Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares.

Cash Money suggests White Oleander by Janet Fitch.

Lindsey suggests the television show The Fosters (and definitely NOT The Secret Life of the American Teenager).

Nate suggests We Are Okay by Nina LaCour and Freaky Friday (w/ Jodie Foster: he specified this, but it did not make the final cut).

Also because no one will understand what is meant by Molly's statement, Kim has—on occasion—cosplayed as as Rita Skeeter.

Episode 037: The Mystery of Hollow Places by Rebecca Podos

I pulled one of our proof of concept episodes out of the vault for this week since I (Nathan) suggested this book in our discussion of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika Sánchez. Here we talk about The Mystery of Hollow Places by Rebecca Podos, published in 2016.  We used to believe that brevity was the soul of wit, so we aren't as detailed here as we tend to be now, but this book deserves your attention. 

We used to only suggest a handful of books (and did so as a group), so here we suggest Paper Towns by John Green, She's Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick, and I Am Princess X by Cherie Priest.
