Pages n' Pages
The place where two best friends talk about all things books. Posted weekly on Tuesdays, Morgan and Sophia discuss a variety of bookish topics, from reviews to recommendations and everything in between. Check out Pages n' Pages Pod on Instagram.
In this week's episode of Pages n' Pages, we dive into the sarcastic sci-fi book Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton and narrated by John Prihalla and Katherine Chin. We both listened to the audiobook and highly recommend it! This story takes place far into the future as humans are working on colonizing other planets. Every crew needs an expendable, someone who never fully dies, and Mickey Barnes is that for this crew. Mickey is the 7th iteration of himself, and this time, he doesn't want to die. For fans of Andy Weir and Martha Wells!

In this week's episode, we talk about something that infuriates us more than anything else - banned books. The original idea was to talk about ban books from around the world, but we focus a lot on the 10 most popular banned books in America. Book bans and challenges aren't new, and it's extremely frustrating to see challenges focused on gender identity, race, sexual orientation and racism. Current times have seen a significant increase in book challenges and we wanted to focus on and bring attention to the books that are being targeted.

In this week's episode of Pages n' Pages, we make ourselves very, very angry. We each independently picked five books and chose one-star reviews, and tried to get the other to guess the book. Reading bad reviews of some of your favorite books is not a fun past time! This started out being a fun game but turned into a rage-filled rant about people’s negative opinions about books we’ve enjoyed. Play along and let us know how you did. Caution - we get a little angry.

In honor of Young Reader’s Day November 9, we read Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed. This book came out in 2018 and is a juvenile fiction novel following Amal, a young girl in a small village in Pakistan who has her whole life in front of her until she ends up as an indentured servant with no foreseeable way out. It’s a truly impactful story of perseverance and heart, and is important for young readers to read and possibly learn about other cultures outside of their own. We dive into Amal’s story and talk about all the twists and turns and our own takeaways from her situation, so we will be talking about spoilers later in the episode. In this episode we reference TikTok creator Rhylee Passfield with a handle of @rhyleep95. She’s one of the funniest people on the app, and info about her can be found in this article: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/the-latest/meet-the-mind-behind-the-cursed-cosplay-mr-burns-rhyleep/13607108 Books we mention:
