“I love being a part of things.”
We're looking back on our first year of podcasting and forward to the next, including a couple of exciting announcements. Kellie says y’all three times in the first thirty seconds. Then, we answer listener-submitted questions!

"They said, 'North Carolina? Eww.'"
In this month's bonus episode, we discuss the 2019 Netflix adaptation of Let It Snow, which is very different from the book. The cast list is studded with medium-sized young stars, the jokes are largely misses, and the holiday pageant centerpiece is absolutely not talked about enough. Happy holidays!

"...Just so you know what level of quirky we're operating at."
Happy holidays! We're celebrating the season by reading Maureen Johnson, John Green, and Lauren Myracle's 2008 short story collection, Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances, and trying not to be too grinchy about it. Topics covered span from the Netflix Christmas Universe and Piggy Smalls to an impassioned discussion about a story's gross mischaracterization of Shrek. In addition, we continue spreading the good word of Waffle House and listen to one of the most inspired musical performances of all time.

"Food, water, shelter, and tampons."
This week, Kellie and Daphne cover another YA dystopian staple: Rick Yancey's post-alien invasion novel The 5th Wave (2013). It's a supersized episode because we're rejoined by special guest and professional yapper Colin! We discuss aliens, hacking the mainframe, Gen Alpha slang, and blond adults, among many, many other topics.

"The props department was bedazzling those backstage."
Kellie, Daphne, and resident Selection expert Katie reunite to discuss BOTH unaired Selection pilots for CW. Between the uninspired 2012 pilot and truly incredible 2013 second attempt, they cover the full entertainment spectrum in just an hour. It's like the opposite of "How Did This Get Made?" where we uncover just why The Selection show never did.

“Why was that a detail?"
We’ve read a few contemporary books on this show, but none that made us self-reflect on the nature of hosting a fan podcast and experiencing the other side of fandom through our relationships with our listeners as much as Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirl (2013).
Just kidding. This book is crazy! Daphne and Kellie recap the college coming-of-age story and talk fanfic, young love, and one major historic event in particular in this episode.

“This book is basically Citizen Kane.”
Happy Halloween! We read Ransom Riggs’ fantastical 2013 novel/found photography collection, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, to celebrate. It’s not nearly as haunting as we remember—at 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 it’s not cheese, it’s butter. My bad. Turns out they’re being found all the time, including this summer!

“You just wake up one day and you’re really good at math, and suddenly you’re being taken from your home.”
We're back with another dystopian novel and this one is...actually good? Our hosts are rejoined by special guest Katie to discuss Alexandra Bracken’s 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.

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

“That seems to happen a lot in this genre.”
Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Mara embark on a very exciting journey into the world of Kass Morgan’s 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 you’re welcome, depending on who we ask) in advance for how often Lost comes up in this one…again.

“He had Teen Wolf hair and I couldn’t look past that.”
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 that’s about!

“I don’t want to stop being pretty. Being pretty’s awesome!”
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? It’s 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.

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

“We might have to start a spin-off podcast where we just watch Willem Dafoe movies.”
It’s 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, it’s John Green’s 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.

“Sheep are easier to spray paint.”
In this bonus episode, Kellie and Daphne break down the Delirium pilot, which was filmed for Fox’s Fall 2013 lineup, but never went to series. You’ll see why.

“I don’t believe in banning books. But I think this book should be banned.”
We’re not gonna lie. This one is bleak. Like, “We cut a whole plot point from the recording because the episode was already too dark” bleak. But don’t worry, there’s 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.
