Episode 082: Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo

Is It Teen Enough For You Now · Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo / Aurora Burning by Amie Kaufman

For our last episode of this turbulent year, what better title to discuss than Clap When You Land?

After the end credits, stick around for some pretty uniformed takes on Aurora Burning (only Ca$h Money had read it at this point).

Episode 081: The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert

Is It Teen Enough For You Now · Voting Booth By Brandy Colbert

This was not intended to be released right before the election. We recorded it ages ago. Since we recorded, discussion of voter suppression has only grown in importance for this election. As the days have gone by it's reared its head in a plethora of ways we don't discuss here.

Stay safe. Make a plan. Vote.

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.
