Number 1: Gone Pt. 1 | "What Is Going On?"
"This is like, the least predictable book I’ve ever read in my life." An instant classic is incoming, because we're tackling Michael Grant's Gone (2008), one of the silliest and strangest books we've ever read. It's too much for one episode, so we broke this one into two mind-boggling parts. Kellie and Daphne discuss Grant's checkered legacy, our listeners' memories of this series, and of course, everything that goes down in the FAYZ. It's one of the most fun times we've ever had while podcasting.

Number 2: Fallen | "Also, I'm Immortal"
"It’s textbook Rereading the Revolution." Our listeners have been clamoring for us to read Fallen (Lauren Kate, 2009) since our infamous Hush, Hush episode came out. Daphne and Kellie are joined by special guest Thya Leger to take on more fallen angels posing as high schoolers and bravely ask the question of what's worse--the impending Biblical apocalypse or getting meatloaf in smashed your hair as a vegetarian?

Number 3: Paper Towns | "I’m a Girl and I’m Not Okay"
“He really John Greened in this one." The time has come for another John Green episode, and this time our Patreon subscribers voted for Paper Towns (2008)! This is a book whose cultural significance is based more on the kind of story that it became a symbol of rather than the plot itself. Kellie and Daphne unpack the nuances and accuracy of the "manic pixie dream girl" label for Margo, along with road trips, discussions about metaphors, quirky character traits, and nerds getting kissed by cool girls. I mean, it's first-era John Green. You all know what to expect by now! CW: This episode contains multiple mentions of suicide.

It's back. It's bigger. It's better. It's bloodier. The game has changed. Dungeons & Dystopia, our YA book-themed Dungeons & Dragons actual play series has returned!

Number 5: Cinder | "Chekov’s Foot"
"There ain’t no pumpkin carriage." Of all the books left on our list, Cinder by Marissa Meyer (2012) was by far the most requested by listeners. We dive into the fantastical, dystopian world of the Lunar Chronicles with its first installment, a Cinderella retelling with a sci-fi twist. This book has everything: cyborgs, androids, fairytale romance, a wicked stepmother, the plague, classic twists, heartbreaking turns of events, a colony of people on the moon, and lil diva foot come off. We hope it was worth the wait! Book trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXrMAFGWyuE Note: Cinder’s surname in the book is Linh with an H, which is sometimes a surname but much more common as a first name in Vietnam.
