Join Meggie and Laura for a very special one-off YA, We Read It! ahead of their next season where they are reading Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston.
Alex and Henry couldn't be more different despite both being children of powerful political figures. Alex, the First Son of the United States yearns for a political career himself and spends plenty of time loathing the dashing and eligible Prince Henry. When their disdain for each other leads to a PR-stunt-friendship, the two sworn enemies soon become lovers in this contemporary romance. We are screaming, giggling, kicking our feet the whole way through! Tune in!

It was 2005 when Twilight first graced the world with its presence, and now 19 years later Meggie and Laura have finished reading the entire series for your listening pleasure. It's once again time to put their final thoughts to rest on the highly popularized vampire romance. We're discussing our thoughts on this as a romance, a vampire story, and just an all around book series in general. It's insightful, it's fun, and we hope you'll go on this one last Twilight stroll down memory lane.

If there is anything breaking: it's our hearts. The time had come to say goodbye to reading Twilight with the lukewarm conclusion to Breaking Dawn. Laura and Meggie are ready to give you their takes on everything: Bella's new life as a vampire (complete with vampire powers), the nonexistent all-powerful Vampire fight, and most importantly more in depth discussions on how Jacob imprinted on a baby, like how he gave her a promise ring for Christmas (gross). All this and more, tune in!

Meggie and Laura are BACK to finish up the Twilight series with their insight on the first half of Breaking Dawn.
You know what they say: first comes love, then comes marriage, and then on your honeymoon you get pregnant with a vampire child and go through an expedited pregnancy that culminates in your fetus gnawing its way out of your fragile human body -- aw, cute! While Edward and Bella are planning their new parenthood and eternity as vampires, Jacob (who's moody af now) ends up leaving his wolf pack to protect the Cullen family and be his dramatic self. -
After discovering that the impending threat to our cast of characters is a constructed vampire army made entirely up of new vampires, it's time to take action! The vampires and werewolves are officially putting their differences (and their treaty) aside to get ready to fight. Jacob and Edward also team up to make sure Bella is safe at every step. Can Bella face the two people/monsters she loves most in this world when danger is afoot? Listen to Laura and Meggie tell you all about it in the conclusion to Eclipse!

Bella and Edward's relationship is officially back on! But at what cost? Jacob is not talking to Bella, Charlie has grounded her, and with the limited time they have to spend together, Edward is insisting on Bella applying to as many colleges as humanly possible. Mystery sets in as a wave of killings is happening in Seattle and it all somehow seems to be tied to Bella. Can Bella make peace with having a vampire boyfriend and a werewolf best friend? Meggie and Laura are here to talk about it all!

Tune in as Meggie and Laura dish it out.

Laura and Meggie are cliff diving into Twilight's follow-up New Moon, where Bella and Edward have been living out their human-vampire-relationship fantasy. Trouble brews as Bella turns 18 and is now figuratively older than "forever 17 year-old" Edward. Who needs to think about college when your invincible vampire boyfriend's vampire family wants to throw you a birthday party, am I right? Soon, the Cullen family leaves Forks to go to Alaska and Edward breaks up with Bella for good. In the throes of her first heart break will Bella return to life as a normal teen? Or will this monster-loving gal run into the arms of a resident werewolf? Listen now!

Ah, romance: your partner watching you sleep, telling you he could kill you, wanting to drink your blood... all the normal romance stuff.... Now that Edward's shown off how fast and strong he is in the meadow, his and Bella's romance is in full swing. Bella doesn't care that he's a vampire and she certainly doesn't care that she's only known him for like 2 months, she decides that they're in love. They're trying to make their coupling as normal as possible by meeting each other's families, but when some other vampires decide to pass through Forks and decide they want to eat Bella the clock immediately starts ticking down to save Edward's heroin. Join Meggie and Laura on the action-filled finale to Twilight. -

Bella becomes infatuated with Edward Cullen who soon reveals his entire family is vampires, and Bella is honestly totally fine with it (ok, go off Bella!). Can their love make it through the throes of high school and vampire lore? Will your hosts Meggie who historically loves Twilight and Laura who historically does not love Twilight give you the POVs you're looking for this season? Tune in!
