Welcome back for another chaotic episode of a differently scheduled ♫Textual Deviants, uh , uh , uh —♫ 

THEME SONG UNDER CONSTRUCTION

This week we are joined by long time friend of the podcast, first EVER guest, and host of her own podcast, Depp Impact, Jenna Kuerzi! (http://www.jennakuerzi.com/) as we discuss Coraline Directed by Henry Selick (NOT TIM BURTON) of Nightmare Before Christmas fame! 

We learned a lot while watching Coraline and we'd love to share a little bit of it with all of you!

A Bobinsky is what your big toe does when the foot is stimulated. 
Nudity in a children's (?) movie is okay as long as it's extra clothed women wearing very naked bodysuits.
Banana slugs make great mustaches for impromptu photo shoots. 
Vermillion is scarlet red (read: ORANGE)
Tim Burton knows exactly one POC
Puce is the color of flea droppings(???)
And Coraline is perhaps the most body positive movie of 2009.

Learn with us in the most #iconique episode of Textual Deviants to ever grace your ear drums!

Today is the first of our  book to movie reviews and we could not be more excited to be starting it off with I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Charlie Kaufman!

No we do not have that wrong. This movie is credited as having been WRITTEN by Charlie Kaufman and not Iain Reid.

If you thought Iain Reid's ITOET was weird, than you better tighten your bootstraps because you're in for a real ride. 

Join us as we discuss this Netflix "arthouse fil-um", its strengths (*cough*dance*cough), its weaknesses (*cough*dance*cough*) and everything in between!

It's October which means we are starting our month of #Spooks🎃 and let us tell you, we are starting it off RIGHT, but our sound is all WRONG. (Forgive us listeners for one of us *cough"taiwo*cough* has sinned.)

For our first episode of October, we read the truly #SpooksMcGooks I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid. 

Find out which one of us had to sleep in her sister's bed after reading this and which one of us is an ITOET savant. Listen to us work through all the details of the chaotically unnerving I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid!

We are closing out #YAMonth with a throwback to 2005 Taiwo's bookshelf. This week we read Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson. Yes, that James Patterson.

We've read five books over five weeks and we've truly grown as "young adults". I mean, we FINALLY completed our first ever #TightTwo! But we also return to our old ways of horrible memories for names. Well you win some, you lose some. 

Find out what caught us off guard, whose brain is just worms, and what IKYFL stands for. Don't mind us as we dot our Ts and cross our Is in this week's episode Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson!

We're just two Naija gyals, standing in front of the world, asking you to forgive us for changing up our format / putting out a late announcement yet again! (We've been very bad 
😉)

As the year drifts quickly to an end, we find our lives drifting as well to opposite ends of the earth (read: country). So that means a new format is in order! 

Find out how we're switching things up, and how our October schedule is breaking down in this month's announcements!

As we near the end of September and the air begins to gain that familiar chill of autumn, our YA book month is heating right the fuck up!

This #HumpDay we are reading the horny af, 2007 classic, City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, the first in the Mortal Instruments series!

*Stefon Voice* This episode has everything: 

A clutch two minute synopsis
Mae Whitman worship
A woman protangonist
Demons & demon hunters
Dated gender roles 
Werewolves 
Cucumber sandwich shaming
A traitorous twist 
And a Star Wars

What's a Star Wars you ask? Well it's when your two main characters have a steamy (debatable) romance only to find out they're brother and sister!

Listen to us work through the traumatic joy of this week's read, City of Bones by Cassandra Clare(y)!

Welcome back to another chaotic episode of Textual *voice cracks*.

We are more than halfway through YA month and this week we had the immeasurable pleasure of reading a book with the sexiest cover to date, Incendiary by Zoraida Cordova!

It's the Badass women for me. It's the diversity for me. It's the potential for sequels month for me. 

Let us know what it is for you and if we should make this theme theme a thing thang 😉 as we discuss Incendiary by Zoraida Cordova!

Welcome back to another episode of Textual Deviants where the format is made up and the schedule doesnt matter! 

This week we ferociously, speed read Allegedly by Tiffany D. Jackson! After reading a particularly derisive 1 star review, we just HAD to tell [NAME REDACTED] just how wrong they are, point by point.

Enjoy the takedown of the century (or at least of the hour), with our 5-star (plz rate us) rebuttal of a 1-star review as we discuss Tiffany D. Jackson's Allegedly!

It's the Wednesday before Labor Day, so you know what time it is? It's the beginning of Back to School month!

In this quite perfectly timed #WaybackWednesday we start our month of YA reads with The Rest of the Story by a Deviant fave, Sarah Dessen!

In this episode we pinpoint 5 (6?) things that make a quintessential Sarah Dessen novel. So you know we had to list the 5 things that make this a quintessential TD episode.  

1. "Interesting, interesting,  interesting." 
2. "And another thing too."
3.  Potentially blowing out your headphones (we're sorry. We're so so sorry)
4.  And finally, confidently stating a specific number of things and always having one less.
5. ......wait, what was number 5 again? 

It's the end of those 🎶summer nights 🎶, so catch us soaking in the end of the season in the shores of Lake North (or is it North Lake?) with The Rest of the Story by Sarah Dessen!
