Halloween has come and gone, but the pumpkin patch is forever. Join Mara and Josh as they discuss the new graphic novel Pumpkinheads, by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks. Also discussed: John Green, first impressions, rom-com tropes, regional foods, and the agony of finding a winter book.

Next month we will be taking a break from full-book reviews and will be discussing some of our favorite YA books from over the years. Check out that very special episode to learn a bit more about what we like and why we like it.
