Why We YA

Kales and Alyson have a long anticipated debate. Self-published books: to read, or not to read? Listen in to hear our very strong, and very different opinions!

Kales and Alyson talk about the books we read during June for Pride month, what we learned, and the diffrence between LGBTQA+ characters in realistic fiction and fantasy.

Kales and Alyson play the First Line Challenge. A guessing game with YA books, only using the first line as a hint. We had a lot of fun playing this game, and we hope you enjoy listening!

Kales and Alyson discuss book to screen adaptations, the good, bad, and the ugly. What makes or breaks adaptations, the best and worst YA adaptations, and what is coming up in 2017 and beyond.

In the premier episode of Why We YA Kales and Alyson talk about why we decided to make this podcast, who we are, and why we read. Enjoy!
