RetRead Podcast

RL Stine took Anna and Surge by surprise, hear how in our review of Fear Street: Haunted. Seriously guys, our predictions could not be more off for this book.

Anna also gives a review of We Are Okay by Nina LaCour, a book she heard about from booktuber ProblemsOfABook Nerd

Mayra is sleepwalking all over Fear Street and we're here to discuss it. How do you pronounce Mayra anyways? Well, we figure it out eventually. Also, is Mayra the most gullible protagonist in all the Fear Street books so far? We sure think so.

Anna also reviews The Animators by Kayla Rae Whitaker.

Anna and Surge get together to discuss Fear Street The Wrong Number. It's all about the fun of making prank phone calls in the early 90's and the not so fun part of it taking on Fear Street so someone obviously dies.

We also have a conversation about manga and graphic novels.

Cara and Mark's parents are missing and we end up with our favorite Fear Street book to date. Seriously. We also get a lot further in our Fear Street/Corporate buyout conspiracy theory.

Before this, we talk about Last Machine in the Solar System by Matthew Isaac Sobin. We give this book the highest rating of any book we've ever talked about.

Surge and Anna discuss Fear Street: The Overnight. Canoeing, camping, murder, typical outdoor trip for Fear Island.

Before that, Anna gives a review of Sarah Kuhn's Heroine Complex.

Meg is a total badass in The Surprise Party, book 2 in the Fear Street series. We talk about Crime&Punishment's influence on this book and how Surge was wrong about Cory and Lisa.

Before we talk about Fear Street, Anna reviews Flying Lessons and Other Stories.

We finally get into the meat of the podcast discussing our first Fear Street book, The New Girl. The discussion gets pretty heated at the end over the Cory/Lisa relationship.

Before that, we talk about Point of No Return by Martha Gellhorn and The Night Shift by Stephen King.
