This is Lit!

Limbo is a not just a fun party game. It's a bad place to be stuck, both literally and figuratively. Let's fix that, shall we? Casye & Elizabeth read the (currently) last of the Shades of London series, The Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson. #shadowcabinet #maureenjohnson #thisislit #litliteraturepodcast #itsatwisttop

We're going back to Hogwarts! Where everything is magi-Cool! Join us as we cover the first of a series that formed our childhood. It's time for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone! #litliteraturepodcast #thisislit #potter #jkrowling #itsatwisttop

This week, we return to Jolly Old London in Maureen Johnson's "The Madness Underneath". London is still covered in unhappy ghosts, and the London Shades are without their only weapon, until Rory discovers her new powers. Casye may soon become one of the ghosts after this ending.

We asked and you answered! It's time for heat, sun and adventure. Pack your rum and practice your swordplay. It's time to read Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson! Drink up me Hearties! Yo Ho! #thisislit #litliteraturepodcast #itsatwisttop #treasureisland #pirates #whyistherumgone

It's finally spring! Here in the Midwest, it's a great time to do foolish things. This week on 'This is Lit' we read each other's writing. Fates above help us. Where's my drink? #thisislit #litliteraturepodcast #fanfictionisaradicalfeministchoice

Never trust a Fae, especially if it's a wounded Faerie prince you find in the woods. Casye knows this well. Elizabeth learned this the hard way. Don't ask. Tonight, we read 'Tithe' by Holly Black.

Ah, Eternal Youth. It's something everyone wishes for & no one gets. But what happens when you do? The girls dive into 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde. Let's get Wilde!

We're off to jolly ol' London in Maureen Johnson's The Name of the Star! Rory is a foreign exchange student. Not only does she have to settle in at her new school in a new country, but she gets caught up in a series of murders! Ones that closely resemble those of the infamous Jack the Ripper. Is there a way to avoid getting ripped by the Ripper?

It's the season of love! Or hate? There is often a thin line between the two. The ladies explore this line in William Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing'. Claudio and Hero are in love. Their friends, Benedick and Beatrice hate each other. So of course, they'd make the perfect couple. Time to place your bets!

This week, hosts Casye and Elizabeth read a book by a local Kansas City author 'The Bone Brick City by Aaron Hollingsworth. The world is nothing like we mere mortals have ever known or seen. Can a rag tag group of misfits save a great city from the Mystic Mafia? #listentoourpodcast #itsatwisttop!
