We're joined by our friend and Beautiful Creatures superfan Corrine to talk about the film's incredible production design and baffling visual effects, the hilarious script, our obsession with the cast, and the major changes from the book. We also heavily debate whether the movie is a work of outrageous, campy excellence or a genuinely good film.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

"Sometimes a girl’s just gotta cry in the rain."It's finally here--our first fantasy read! In this episode, Kellie and Daphne cover Victoria Aveyard's fantasy dystopian novel, Red Queen, where the haves and have-nots are not only divided by wealth, but by supernatural abilities. We discuss the book's many influences, its place in the YA scene, the controversial twist ending (and the ending that could have been), and those plagiarism rumors you may have heard about.Book Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UbsNfwkZwkEpic Reads Explains Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKjg5Jz9ReoEpic Author Facts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECzc2lg8MtQKingdom of Norta Map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOZ1HrVIDFgAlternate ending: https://b00kstuff.blogspot.com/p/red-queen-alternate-ending.html Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

"Kent is rich! It’s not like he can’t afford a belt!"We asked our patrons to vote on a contemporary novel for this episode, and Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall took the win. Kellie and Daphne lead the bumpy journey through this shocking, chaotic, and sometimes heartfelt time-loop novel about a teenage girl reliving the last day of her life and maybe finding redemption. We share some of our own high school experiences and a lot of strong opinions along the way. Try not to judge. Remember that we're the same, you and me.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!
