This week in our Season 1 Finale, we'll be discussing "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton! This book is near and dear to both of our hearts. We really loved revisiting and analyzing this book!
We'll be taking a short break before diving into season 2 --but please let us know if there are any books that you would like for us to add to our list of potentials. We'll also be releasing a Q&A + Bonus Content in the interim, so ask away and keep your eyes pealed!
This week we discuss "Graceling" by Kristin Cashore. This is Cashore's debut novel. Check us out!
Further the discussion, ask questions, or guess our next book on social media!
This week we're discussing "The Book of Three" by Lloyd Alexander! This book series is a house favorite --Jessicca was especially excited to talk about it. The audio on this one may be a bit wonky, it seems that it went through a bit of corruption (much like the Horned King!). Give us a listen, and reach out on social media for any questions or if you want to further the conversation!
This week we discuss "Homeless Bird" by Gloria Whelan! This book was a favorite of ours when we were younger, but re-reading it and doing our research for the podcast may have tainted our view of this book a little. Give us a listen, and check us out on social media to further the conversation!
This week we're discussing the "The City of Ember" by Jeanne DuPrau! This book is definitely a first step into an allegory of the cave story, and has a really interesting setting. Give us a listen, and let us know what you think!

This week, we're discussing the beloved book "Holes" by Louis Sacher! This book is such a classic, and we're going to talk about why. Yes, some consider this to be a children's book and some consider it to be young adult fiction, we'll talk about that in the episode.
Check us out on social media to continue the conversation, or to guess our next book!
This week we're discussing "Matched" by Ally Condie! We have a special surprise too --our very first podcast guest! We wanted to have a guest for this episode because it is the halfway point of season one, so we wanted to do something special.
This books surprised us a little. This episode is worth a listen!
Check us out on social media to further the conversation, or to guess our next book!
This week we're discussing "Maximum Ride" by James Patterson! He's a massively famous author (currently living in Florida), with quite a bit of money, and he takes a stab at YA Fiction in the first book of this series. Join in as we dissect it!

Here we are, at episode 1! We sisters, Jessicca and Kayla, think that YA fiction deserves more literary discussion. It may not be Jessicca's favorite genre, but Kayla wants to write it some day! Join us, as we discuss different YA books every Thursday!
We had some audio troubleshooting for this first episode, so it's a bit late and not as polished as the original that we edited --but please bear with us as we get into the swing of things!
