Book 'n Bitch

Happy December! This month, we set aside our YA novels to watch (an obsess over) Yuri!! on Ice. It's a flippin' beautiful winter wonderland over here!

Want to read along with us? Next month we're putting our reading glasses back on and digging into the Chaos Theory Series by Sarah Harian.

Happy holiday season! This month, we're reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. We're talking magical world-building and mental health coping mechanisms... Also keeping a close eye on Katie's stoner doggy.

Next month, we're taking a break from the books and watching Yuri!! on Ice (aka your new favorite anime)! Watch along with us and get into the competitive figure skating magic.

Follow us on Twitter @booknbitch. Tweet us your anime recommendations after you watch Yuri on Ice!

Get that bleep button ready... This one is going to earn that explicit rating!

Kenna here - due to a moment of questionable decision making on my part, we're taking a dive into the supernatural romance genre with My Wolf King by Rose Wynters. This BBW romance might be so bad that it goes back to good again... almost.

I talk in ALL CAPS. The word "creamy" is uttered way too many times to be healthy. It's not for the faint of heart.

MOM, PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO THIS ONE.

Want to read with us? We're returning to YA next month with Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.

This month we've been drawn into the fight for good with Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time. It's a heartwarming and chilling story about three young kids fighting the spirit of true evil. It's an allegory of humanity's quest for goodness and triumph over evil. ...It's really hard to describe in a succinct way and not make it sound bad.

There are creepy evil men and ugly hair monsters! Kenna has a nightmare.

Plus, Katie checks out a dog in the nighttime!

...and Kenna taps the table a fuck ton of times. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Want to read with us? Next month, we're taking a break from class and going full on sass with My Wolf King by Rose Wynters. And maybe some other terrible books.

Want to read with us? Next month, we'll be delving into A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle.

For this month's podcast, we're trying something a little bit different. We're discussing Anne of Green Gables, but as a jumping of point to a larger convo on family structures in YA... and wondering if there is a happy family in the bunch!

Seriously, tweet us if you know a good YA novel with a functional family.

For this month's episode, we're discussing The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Katie's got a bone to pick with this one… And Kenna's just trying to mop the tears off of her library book! This one gets a little bit contentious, a little boozy, and extra sweary.

For our first foray into podcasting, we've taken on The Host by Stephanie Meyer. We've talked cute boys, YA tropes, and WHY THIS IS ACTUALLY A Y.A. BOOK… For your listening pleasure!
