This is Lit!

This week, the hosts investigate the mysterious Slade House, a place that only seems to exist every 9 years. Will we make it out alive? Probably since Liz is alive to post this.

Happy Halloween! This week, we continue our education at Hogwarts with 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' by JK Rowling. There are things in this world far more terrifying than ghosts and goblins, like Delores Umbridge for instance. #thisislit #litliteraturepodcast #itsatwisttop #harrypotter #happyhalloween

Today we dive into Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel. An actor dies on stage. A man tries to save his life and a young girl witnesses the entire thing. 20 years later, 99.9% of the population has died of the Georgia Flu. Kirsten along with the Traveling Symphony journey through this post-apocalyptic world to keep culture alive, for survival is insufficient.

Dragons, Mermaids and Darkness! Oh My! It's time for 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' by JK Rowling. Grab snacks, this is a long one. #thisislit #litliteraturepodcast #harrypotter #itsatwisttop #GoF

Slight change in plans! This week we cover 'The Thief' by Megan Whalen Turner. My dear Ali, this one's for you! #thisislit #itsatwisttop #thequeensthief #meganwhalenturner

Goodness, Pandora had it easy. Today the hosts dive into a world full of angels, demons, 2 apocalypse cults, ghosts, vampires and one master thief who has to deal with it all in Richard Kadrey's 'The Everything Box'. Chaos ensues. It's funnier than it sounds. Promise.

We have an announcement! Plus, things are not always what they seem, especially in the wizarding world! Join us as we return to Hogwarts for Harry's 3rd year in 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' by JK Rowling. #thisislit #litliteraturepodcast #harrypotter #PoA #itsatwisttop

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This is the American Dream. Can this idea be reconciled with a fairytale? Marry prince charming and ride off together in the sunset? It's our first foray into LGBT fiction with 'Red, White & Royal Blue' By Casey McQuiston!

We are headed back to Hogwarts with 'Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets' by JK Rowling. The girls drink enough Polyjuice potion to cause plenty of trouble. The Weasley Twins would be proud. #thisislit #litliteraturepodcast #itsatwisttop #harrypotter #jkrowling
