Books: our first great media love, thanks to an appreciation for English classes and access to some incredible literature. This week, we’re throwing back to our high school (…and fourth grade) selves and gushing about the hidden gems of required reading that have stayed with us through the years.

SPOILER ALERT: This episode discusses the novels Ella Enchanted, Without Seeing the Dawn, and Things Fall Apart.
