Episode 079: 19 Love Songs by David Levithan

 

Is It Teen Enough For You Now · 19 Love Songs By David Levithan

As with our previous episode, this one was recorded at a time of really strict quarantine. If we didn't give the individual stories enough consideration, we are sorry David Levithan--we love you; come on the show!

Episode 078: Not So Pure and Simple by Lamar Giles

Is It Teen Enough For You Now · Not So Pure And Simple by Lamar Giles

In this episode, recorded in the height of sheltering in place in California, we discuss the Lamar Giles novel, Not So Pure and Simple. Our limited contact with the outside world shows through as we head off on a few tangents and forget to provide real read-alikes.

Episode 077: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Is It Teen Enough For You Now · Mockingjay By Suzanne Collins

We finish off with Collins's Hunger Games universe (at least for now; did someone say,
"prequel?").

We really rattled off the readalikes this time, so I feel like I should probably list them again,
like the old times:

Cash Money suggests West World (the tv show) and Saga.
Nate suggests Snowpiercer (the film).
Amy suggests The Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir.
Nathan suggests 1984 by George Orwell and anything by Philip K. Dick.
Molly suggests literally everything by Michael Grant and Scott Westerfeld,
the Razorland series by Ann Aguirre, and Green Angel by Alice Hoffman.

Episode 076: Catching Fire

We continue our discussion of Suzanne Collins blockbuster trilogy. And the shelter in place mentality is clearly getting to us. The rosé isn't helping either.

Episode 075: Hunger Games

We were planning to jump back into discussing new YA lit, but then our counties went into shelter in place, so we all scrounged under our collective couch cushions and pulled out Hunger Games. You know, a feel good novel for the end times.
It's our first time recording using Zoom, so please apologize the sound quality for Lindsey.

Episode 074: Supernova by Marissa Meyer (short take)

Here's a really short take to cleanse your palette of Twilight before we jump back into our regular full length discussions of contemporary YA lit.
 

Episode 073: Breaking Dawn

Cue the victory lap; we have made it! We've reached the final installment of our sparkly vampire series: Breaking Dawn. Let our voices echo through the Internet.
