As we all know, Alli loved A LOT of books when she was a kid, but for some inexplicable reason, Elizabeth Winthrop’s The Castle in the Attic seems to have buried itself in her subconscious more than most. On Episode 85, she and her guest Amanda Lovelace try to figure out why it’s been so memorable to her for so many years!

Tune in to this episode to hear Alli and Amanda discuss The Castle in the Attic’s affirmative messages about celebrating your personal strengths and abilities, as well as its positive take on masculinity. They also uncover some not-so-great language around taking a woman’s power away by forcing her to take up less physical space. Yikes.

Amanda Lovelace is the author of the celebrated Women Are Some Kind of Magic series. She is also the two-time winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for best poetry, as well as a USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestseller. Follow her on Instagram (@ladybookmad) and Twitter (@ladybookmad).
