November 21, 2021 Battle of the Books!
A dystopian book battle! Hunger Games vs. Divergent! Strong female leads! Literary crushes! Teenagers dismantling governments! This episode has it all, and yet somehow only the surface was scratched on these two incredible trilogies. Our discussions also include: Julia's obsession with YA heartthrob Tobias Eaton (aka Four), Maggie's confusion as to why Katniss' mom doesn't have a name, and very stubborn protagonists.

October 24, 2021 This is Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween! Maggie and Julia take a turn down spooky lane and dive into two classic novels - Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. There's nothing quite like looking to the past for some autumnal chills.
Luckily, Maggie talks about the potential REAL LIFE Mr. Hyde, allows her true English degree spirit to shine, and is thankful she didn't have to reread Frankenstein for the 5th time. And Julia is certain that Mary Shelley is a gothic icon, a queen, and a personal hero. Overall, a successful day of podcasting for them both.

September 12, 2021 In a World of Extreme Beauty
Guest Episode! Maggie and Julia sit down with Karly Boettcher to discuss her favorite book series: Uglies. Written by Scott Westerfield, this YA Dystopian is a world where you are either Ugly, Pretty, or Special. We delve into its ideology and heavily discuss its pros and cons, the flaws of important characters, and where we'd find ourselves in this futuristic society.
This episode is chalk full of spoilers...but it's a book written for teenagers in 2005. So we apologize in advance if its just been in your TBR for a few years.

August 15, 2021 Two Hufflepuffs and a Slytherin walk to Hogsmeade...
Expelliarmus! Maggie and Julia simply couldn't take it any more. It was time for a Harry Potter episode. But...when they sat down with fellow Harry Potter fanatic Katie Bowler, that one episode turned into two. We just can't help ourselves. And, quite honestly, thinking we could discuss seven books in one hour was pretty ridiculous. So, enjoy part one of this magical duology!
Happy listening Novel Friends. As always, thanks for listening!
