England and Honor Among Thieves by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre, while Jes speaks of her love for Skyward by Brandon Sanderson and Crownchasers by Rebecca Coffindaffer.

What YA Readin? Episode 4: the Aesthetic Generator

In this episode of my sister and I's podcast, we played a game where we generated a random aesthetic and then tried to think of a character that fit the description. Fun was had by all. Except maybe the Meadow Emo.

So, first things first, our podcast has been re-named! We chose to rebrand after we found another awesome podcast with the name "YA Gotta Read This." Our new name reminds me of sitting next to my sister saying "What ya reaaaadin?" again and again and again... so very on brand for this podcast, really.

YA Gotta Read This Episode Two: The Love Pentadecagon

Saturday, April 10, 2021

The subject of this podcast is something my sister and I have discussed many times throughout the years. For a while love triangles were inescapable in YA literature. We have finally gotten to a point where they aren't as common, so we realized it was high time we used science to decide once and for all what "Team" was the best team. Totally unbiased science. You are welcome.

YA Gotta Read This Episode One

I never wanted to make a podcast. I love listening to them, but I didn't think it was something I'd be interested in. Then I realized that I could use it as an excuse to force my sister to talk to me about books for an hour. I proposed the idea, and she was just as into it as I was. So this little podcast was born.

YA Gotta Read This is a podcast where my sister I discuss Young Adult books and things having to do with YA. It was born out of a need to have time to talk about silly things and serious things and everything in between. Both of us are heavily involved in the YA literature world (she is a high school English teacher and I am the Young Adult Coordinator at our public library) so it is really just a natural fit.

In this first episode, we thought we would introduce ourselves in the best way we know how: by describing our favorite books, the ones we come back to again and again.
