- 97. You Should See Me In A Crown by Leah JohnsonThis week, we’re looking at a book that puts a new spin on the geek-to-prom-Queen story. We talk about proms in general, our prom in particular, and where the idea of “highschool culture” comes from.Resources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hp7nlP5UcH63FEl1kpPgxdO7Qw7iagcCTBfOPfPLuMg/edit?usp=sharingSupport us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/yapodcastMerch! https://www.teepublic.com/stores/up-for-discusssion?ref_id=2539To suggest a book, email [email protected] or tweet at us @yapodcast@tefferbear @thebailzasaurus @kadi__d @theeunicornreadsabookGreat Bear Music! greatbearmusic.bandcamp.com/www.andrewvannorstrand.comwww.upfordnetwork.comSend us books!Upford Network ℅ Tom ZalatnaiPO Box 22585 Monkland POMontreal, QuebecH4A 3T4Canada42 min
- 96. A Song Below Water by Bethany C. MorrowThis week, we plunge into some magical realism, exploring a world where sirens, merpeople, and gargoyles inhabit Portland.
