Episode 070: Twilight

We went for it. We read Twilight. Well...most of us read it. And we discussed it. And somehow it's our longest episode ever.

Episode 069: The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee

Somewhere in the holy hot mess of our bantering back and forth is a really profound discussion of The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee (it's not our fault if you don't make it to the real discussion).

 Seriously, though, this has a 12 minute Easter Egg (that only those who love us will be able to sit through) that was cut down from about 35 minutes of side conversation and transitions. Only the finest tofu giblets for our esteemed listeners.

Episode 068: Once and Future by Amy Rose Capeta and Cori McCarthy

For some reason we discuss have 2 minutes of discussion about Sisqó at the beginning of this episode. Feel free to fast forward to the 7 minute mark. Eventually we discuss the book Once and Future -- which I think it's safe to say, we all loved reading.

Episode 067: Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera (short take)

In this short take, Lindsey sells us on reading Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera.

Also Cash Money talks up Laini Taylor and Cerce by Madeline Miller.

Nathan talks briefly about Anna-Marie McLemore.

And Nate has an exciting, but totally untrue, announcement.

Episode 064: Spin by Lamar Giles

We took a week off for Labor Day (gotta support the labor movmnt!)

In this episode we discuss the book Spin by Lamar Giles.

Nate hijacked the opening and took us through a breakneck speed. Just like the book, we get right to business. I hope it lives up to our standards (*ahem* I know, you're asking, "you have standards"?) because the book is great!

Lindsey suggests On the Come Up by Angie Thomas.

Nate suggests Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole series (start with Flaggermusmannen—or The Bat if you read it in English).

Molly suggests Heavy Vinyl by Carly Usdin.

Cash Money suggests Veronica Mars.

Episode 063: Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me by Mariko Tamaki and Rosemary Valero-O'Connel

working on my vacation and left some files at work, so this one lacks some of the polish you may be accustomed to (ha!). Hopefully, it feels like you are in the room where it all happens.

Nate suggests Friday Night Lights 

Molly suggests My Brother's Husband by Gengoroh Tagame

Cash Money suggests Euphoria and Girl Mans Up by M.E. Girard

Episode 062: Watch Us Rise by Renée Watson and Ellen Hagan

We discuss Watch Us Rise by Renée Watson and Ellen Hagan. Molly spends the middle of the episode embodying the character Chelsea.

 Molly suggests The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy by Kate Hattemer, Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts) by Lev AC Rosen, I Kill The Mockingbird by Paul Acampora, and How I Resist: Activism and Hope for a New Generation by Maureen Johnson.

Lindsey suggests The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart, Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World by Pénélope Bagieu.

Cash Money suggests Can We All Be Feminists?: New Writing from Brit Bennett, Nicole Dennis-Benn, and 15 Others on Intersectionality, Identity, and the Way Forward for Feminism edited by June Eric-Udorie, and the show Chambers on Netflix.
