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.

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!
