Ryan, Hillary, and Kelso discuss their feelings towards a beloved magical series with a horribly transphobic author, the importance of reading critically, why preorders are important, how a single book can disrupt an entire publishing industry, and also their recent reads! Buckle up, friends, we've got a packed episode for you this month!
