He's not just any vampire, he's THE vampire. Today we are talking about Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. While this book may be a classic and probably made Twilight what it is today, the craziest part of this episode is what Anne Rice's name was at birth.

Today we are talking about Grampa Goosebumps himself, R.L. Stine! A man who has never had writers block and it shows, R.L.

A children's book that is so relevant. Today we are talking about Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan.

A very non comprehensive view of immigration in the United States and why people who don't think we should allow immigration are very wrong. Just remember literally everyone trying to come to this country is literally just a person trying to survive and have the best life possible and why would we make that illegal????

She might not be the fairest of them all but she a baddie (in the worse way). Today we are talking about Fairest by Marissa Meyer, the prequel to the Lunar Chronicles series. In this book we get a villian orgin story, lots of royals getting killed, and of course, brain control. Listen to hear why Levana is a victim turned very problematic villian.

Catch me on smurf-fiction.net or wherever she was. We watched The Hating Game starring Lucy Hale playing a character also named Lucy. Based on the book, The Hating Game by Sally Thorne, this movie follows the plot pretty well with some wild changes. Please tell me who decided to switch her proposal from ebooks to chatrooms, I have questions. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/book-cult--5718878/support .…
She's short, he's tall, can i make it anymore obvious? Today we are talking about The Hating Game by Sally Thorne. This book has all your fave romance troupes but isn't super cliche. Besides the unrealistic depection of working in publishing, we liked it and you should listen because you might like it too.

Her name might not be Sara but she is out there kissing people and helping them find love. Today we are talking about I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuinston. If you want to read a book about queer teens in a Christain school in the bible belt, this is the book for you. The more you read, the gayer it gets!

Todays stories include a woman just trying to live her life without a man in the late 1800s and a guy named Stupid Hans who gets to win a wife just by telling the truth, getting help from a wife who loves to gaslight her husband, and having a man who carries people on his back across the lake drown the king. How long are those legs that he was just giving everyone a piggyback ride??????

Such a shame they had to break such a nice window. Today we are talking about The Wide Window by Lemony Snicket, which is a book about three kids who go to live with a woman they don't know in a house that would not pass inspection. Don't say you will be a guardian for three orphans if you are willing to give them over to a murderer just so you can go and hide in a cave the rest of your life.

Dinner & a show! Join us as we watch the universe implode and talk about The Resturaunt at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams. This book is all over the place and asks some of life's most important questions like "can the man who control the universe cook?" or "is it okay to eat a cow if they tell you they want to be eaten?" or "what question has the answer of 42?" If you are a math nerd, the last one might shock you. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/book-cult--5718878/support .…

Every Kennedy has Lyme disease and nobody knows why! Today we are talking about RFK Jr's second confrimation hearing where he continously asks to be shown the studies, says he would totally tell people to take vaccines, claims black and white people should have different vaccines, and isn't sure what side to take on 9/11. He also keeps mentioning his uncle (the former president) and how he was in 4H as a child. It's all awful and probably the future of America.

This is it, we are finally talking about the most problematic of all teen vampire books, Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyers.
