Rereading the Revolution

“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).Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes details!Timestamps: 0:55 Sunrise on the Reaping announcement4:22 Shelves in the City recap6:28 Vampire Academy discussion

"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. Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes details!

“The world has been covered in Cheeto dust!”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!Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes details

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.Leave us a comment in the Q&A section on Spotify or on social media or send us a DM letting us know what you thought of the movie or our episode!Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes details!

"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.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes details!

"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.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes information!Veronica Roth's Salon Article:https://www.salon.com/2021/06/05/i-killed-the-beloved-hero-of-my-books-and-reader-reactions-were-intense-would-i-do-it-again/Lady Geek Girl and Friends Blog:https://ladygeekgirl.wordpress.com/2014/03/23/oh-my-pop-culture-jesus-protestant-theology-in-the-divergent-trilogy/Penny's One-Star Amazon Review:https://www.amazon.com/review/RX9IWT6KYAJHR
