Life and Death by Stephanie Meyer (Part Two) by Anna and Em

Welcome back, Literary Slummers, to another episode of Shelf Aware! A surprise two-part episode, as we simply found that we had too much to say about a book that we've kind of technically already covered on this podcast!

And please check out our friends Dan and Jen over at Banned Camp! They're doing a deep dive into The Outsiders this season, trying to find out why exactly it qualifies as a banned book.

Join us next week for The 74th annual Hunger Games!
