It&#39;s a Prose Tinted Classic! We tackle Pride and Prejudice, which Bailey is reading for the first time and Katie has already read. After a quick &#34;how did you like it?&#34;, we get into more details, then cover adaptations (THE HAND) and retellings. We briefly sidetrack, as usual, but once again bond over Hating The Same Characters.

Vampires, werewolves, demons, oh my! This week, we keep spooky season alive for a little longer and discuss book boyfriends of the monster type. We look through trends in monster boyfriends, try to predict the next one, and contemplate non-human anatomy. We hope you are ready for all of that - and a few tangents along the way, of course!

16. Monster Fu-… Er, Monster Boyfriends

We&#39;re back just in time for the best season of the year! It&#39;s Halloweentime and we&#39;re here to eat overpriced candy, read vibey books, and wear matching Halloween pajamas with our dogs (...that one might just be Katie).Join us as we talk about horror books, psychological thriller books, witchy books, and books that just fit the ~vibes~ of Spooky Szn.

15. Spooky Season

That&#39;s right, it&#39;s a LIVE SHOW! And, uh, the audio does reflect that.Join us as we take a trip back to high school English class, where we talk about the Hero&#39;s Journey and how omnipresent it is in some of our favorite pieces of media.We also talk about spoilers (and how some of our friends are better than others about Spoiler Etiquette), Bailey almost gets in a Twin Fight, and at the end we take requests to sort some of your favorite protagonists into their Hogwarts Houses - and some of them don&#39;t even end up in Gryffindor!A huge thanks to Fretboard Brewing in Cincinnati for hosting us!

Like a Sapphic Game of Thrones if GRRM Knew How to Finish a Series AKA Pacing is Not a Strong Suit &#39;Round Here AKA (Insert Interlude Here)This week we discuss Samantha Shannon&#39;s The Priory of the Orange Tree, and spend an hour sounding like we didn&#39;t like it but we actually really did. We talk the world-building, all the characters, creatures, and general high fantasy takes. We really struggled with pacing in this novel but loved the prominent role of women. Bruce makes his usual appearance. Plus, an ANNOUNCEMENT!

13. The Priory of the Orange Tree: Here Be Controversial Dragons

Grab you favorite comfort book and join us as we discuss re-reading YA novels from growing up as adults. While we read a fair amount of new YA, it&#39;s been some time since we re-read the novels we grew up with in YA. We were curious to see how our reactions changed, and if the books held up. Katie rereads The Hunger Games (and reveals something scandalous, maybe?), Percy Jackson, and more, while Bailey covers Artemis Fowl, A Great and Terrible Beauty, Uglies, and for a middle-grade bonus: The Clique. We also quickly cover some adaptations and how we think YA publishing and fandom has changed.

12. YA Revisited: Hunger Games, Uglies, A Great and Terrible Beauty, Oh My!

Join as we discuss how no story is new, but more specifically noticeable trends in retellings. There is Cinderella, Cinderella, and somehow more Cinderella. We also talk mythology (truly the origin of no story is a new story), and if mythology is inherently YA. We briefly cover monster retellings before settling into more serious classical re-dos. There is plenty of mayhem in this episode, if we&#39;re being honest.

It is fanfic all the way down, baby. Join us for a discussion about fan fiction, ranging from the history (started by women!) to the current publishing of fanfic, with a quick detour about us using the library. Did you know how many books were simply published Twilight fanfic? Neither did we. We also discuss our favorite: tropes!

Join us as we discuss one of our favorite YA Fantasy novels: Legendborn by Tracy Deonn.

Or &#34;How a TikTok Sound Started a Discussion About the Changes in Representation,&#34; in which we try (and fail) to recall any LGTBQ+ representation in our nostalgic YA reads. We cover some tropes gay characters were subject to, the types of stories that were typically written when the protagonist was LGTBQ+, and how that has changed over the years. Finally, we cover some current books that are gay and slap. Shout out to @thelaynierose for coining the phrase we all needed to summarize book reviews.

8. It's Gay and It Slaps

For once, an adaptation didn&#39;t crush our souls and love for a story. The Netflix show is finally here! We obsess over the cast (mostly Milo) and discuss the plot changes (again, mostly Milo). There&#39;s good, bad, and a lot of swooning.
