(Re)Read

Just in time for Casey's birthday, Morgan's birthday, spooky season, the holiday season, and Valentine's Day, we return to the greatest love saga ever told (if you were born after 1995). That's right, we're talking about New Moon by Stephenie Meyer! Will Casey survive a second dose of Twilight fever?

"If we burn, you burn with us." --Casey to Suzanne Collins after reading the travesty of a novel that is Mockingjay.

The first book was okay. The second book was perfect. Will Suzanne Collins' Mockingjay end the Hunger Games trilogy on a high note?

It's safe to say that President Snow one could've predicted how much Casey would end up liking Catching Fire.

Nothing's spookier than a book sequel, because as we've shown on (Re)Read, it's always worse than the original...or is it? Let's find out as we dive into the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins!

The moral of the story: The real treasure is the friends we see die along the way.

Just in time for the most depressing season of the year, we revisit the YA classic that jumpstarted the "dystopia but with kids" genre--#TheHungerGames by #SuzanneCollins! What will Casey and Morgan disagree about this time?!?!?!?!?!

Something wicked this way comes, courtesy of a listener recommendation! We celebrate the Bard's birthday early with a look at #WilliamShakespeare's shortest and possibly cursed tragedy, #Macbeth!

Fanny is the greatest #JaneAusten heroine ever, and you are a bad person if you disagree.

What time is it? It's #JaneAusten time. And this time, we take a look at her most divisive work ever—#MansfieldPark. Will the book live up to #PrideAndPrejudice's heights, or will it dash Casey's newfound love for Austen?
