âThis book is basically Citizen Kane.â
Happy Halloween! We read Ransom Riggsâ fantastical 2013 novel/found photography collection, Miss Peregrineâs Home for Peculiar Children, to celebrate. Itâs not nearly as haunting as we rememberâat least, not in terms of ghosts and ghouls. Plus, Kellie finally finished the Delirium series! Stick around until the end to hear her recap the final book of the trilogy, Requiem, for Daphne.

Bog cheese articles, as promised, except itâs not cheese, itâs butter. My bad. Turns out theyâre being found all the time, including this summer!

âYou just wake up one day and youâre really good at math, and suddenly youâre being taken from your home.â
We're back with another dystopian novel and this one is...actually good? Our hosts are rejoined by special guest Katie to discuss Alexandra Brackenâs The Darkest Minds (2012). As we hit the road with Ruby and company, Daphne and Katie tell Kellie about the series, Katie and Kellie teach Daphne more Southern cultural nuances, and everyone in the room, including the cat, gets really excited about Harris Dickinson. Thanks for coming along with us on the ride, darlin'.

"Collapsed lung, ruptured spleen, internal bleeding, brain contusions, broken ribs, and leg and face abrasions requiring skin grafts."
Kellie and Daphne deviate from their usual fare this week to discuss Gayle Forman's acclaimed novel, If I Stay (2009), a book that caused us physical reactions from heaving sobs to incapacitating laughter. Despite the somber subject matter, we still manage to have fun discussing punk rock, Yo-Yo Ma, Oregon culture, ghost rules, and more.

"Move a muscle, change a thought."
Given the public's opinion on this movie, you're probably expecting us to rag on it for half an hour straight...but we like to keep you on your toes! We may be saying goodbye to this series for now, but the film proves that time is a flat circle, so who knows what's to come. Netflix, email us.

âScott, you have one move!â
Daphne-la and Kellie-wa are wrapping up Scott Westerfeldâs Uglies with the final book in the main trilogy, Specials (2006). To put it into Tallyâs words, this book is extremely random, but we do our best to find meaning within it and not sound like total bubbleheads. Weâll be back next week to talk about the movie!

âThat seems to happen a lot in this genre.â
Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Mara embark on a very exciting journey into the world of Kass Morganâs The 100 (2013). We cover the book, CW series, fandom, controversies, and more in this episode in a manner befitting its high drama. Apologies (or youâre welcome, depending on who we ask) in advance for how often Lost comes up in this oneâŠagain.

âHe had Teen Wolf hair and I couldnât look past that.â
Surprise! We return with another bonus episode, this time on the film adaptation of The Maze Runner (2014). We share behind-the-scenes details and our hot takes on this decade-old movie, as well as addressing the recent drama on our social media. You'll have to listen to find out what thatâs about!

âI donât want to stop being pretty. Being prettyâs awesome!â
It's a sequel episode! Kellie and Daphne return to Scott Westerfeld's trendsetting Uglies series to discuss Pretties (2005) in the wake of the upcoming Netflix adaptation. What great timing for us, right? Itâs totally bubbly-making. Also included are our thoughts on the Uglies trailer, a Pandemonium recap, and Kellie learning the plot of The 100 for the first time.

âKy is SUCH a hot boy name.â
We asked our Instagram followers what book we should read next and there was a clear winnerâso keep that in mind as you hear our thoughts on Ally Condieâs Matched (2010). This book bravely explores the question, âWhat if the classic dystopian teen love triangle was pretty much the whole thing?â and we try our best to present nuanced takes on the subject material.

âWe might have to start a spin-off podcast where we just watch Willem Dafoe movies.â
Itâs our first contemporary novel, and we decided to go straight to the top. Arguably the most emblematic and decidedly the most successful book of its era, itâs John Greenâs The Fault in Our Stars (2012). We laugh, reminisce on our youths, ponder human existence, and try not to cry throughout this very big episode. Apologies in advance for our attempts to pronounce Lidewij. Okay? Okay.
Emetophobia warning: a very realistic sound effect is made at 32:23.

"I'm ugly and I'm proud!"
Daphne and Kellie take on their most-requested book by far in this episode, where they are joined by special guest expert and friend of the pod, Hayley! You asked for it--it's Scott Westerfeld's Uglies (2005). We get into mid-aughts culture, the upcoming Netflix adaptation, and whether we'd rather be pretty or smart.

âSheep are easier to spray paint.â
In this bonus episode, Kellie and Daphne break down the Delirium pilot, which was filmed for Foxâs Fall 2013 lineup, but never went to series. Youâll see why.

âI donât believe in banning books. But I think this book should be banned.â
Weâre not gonna lie. This one is bleak. Like, âWe cut a whole plot point from the recording because the episode was already too darkâ bleak. But donât worry, thereâs still plenty of fun to be had as we break down Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy (2007).

"Her emotions are SO intense."
Daphne and (a very congested) Kellie take on their first listener-requested read with Lauren Oliver's Delirium (2011)! This is a new book for both hosts, and we have hilariously different reactions to the material.

âThe world has been covered in Cheeto dust!â
Kellie and Daphne continue their break from our regularly scheduled programming to talk about the Divergent movies. Rants and tangents ensue. We also take a moment to discuss and respond to criticisms of Veronica Roth's 2018 post-Allegiant-epilogue epilogue short story, "We Can Be Mended." Plus, a very special announcement!

We deviate from our usual book recaps to discuss something very special: John Green's Turtles All the Way Down (2017) and the movie adaptation that FINALLY came out this month on Max. Heads up, his one's a little loose and goofy. Several rants occur, we unleash our wrath on Goodreads, and a friendship is tested.

"50-60 teenage boys? That's the scariest thing I can imagine."
Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Colin take on the shuckin' Maze, and spoiler alert: there's running (but maybe less than you'd think?). We share our formative experiences with the book as children, and talk all things The Maze Runner (2009), James Dashner, Newtmas, and a whole bunch of other klunk.

"And at this point, I almost screamed."
Kellie and Daphne go back to Chicago one last time to learn what's beyond the fence in Allegiant (2013)--and it's a lot to take in. We get into the extreme pivots that this finale makes, discuss that controversial ending, and try to understand what it was all for. Plus, a priceless ($5) gift is given.

Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Katie take a break from the Divergent series to spend an episode in Illéa for Kiera Cass' The Selection (2012). Your bachelorettes dive into publishing world drama, Illéan geopolitics, and teenage love triangles. Our hearts are confused!
