The patrons voted for us to read a Selection sequel for the final time (unless Kiera Cass decides to write more...). Book 5 in the series, The Crown, follows the second half of Princess Eadlyn's Selection. Will she bring democracy to her country? Will she find love with one of her suitors? Will this book perhaps be surprisingly appropriate for Pride Month?Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast.

"I believe that you are an alien and also I love you."We had our Patrons vote on a selection of our most-requested dystopian and sci-fi books, and I Am Number Four (2010) by Pittacus Lore (allegedly...) won by a landslide. It's your typical fish-out-of-water story about the new boy in town trying his best to fit in and survive the semester with the help of the prettiest girl in school, an oddball best friend, and an unusually smart dog. But this teenager has a big secret...he's an alien. As it turns out, John wasn't the only one with something to hide.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

"One thing about our Bella is that she loves to give up."Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Hannah Lisa Lohr are back with the second half (some would even say the exciting half) of Stephenie Meyer's New Moon (2009)! We pick up where we left off to follow Bella as she learns Jacob’s secret, engages in some more dangerous recreational activities, and makes some new friends on her big trip to Italy. Will Edward and Bella be reunited? Plus, we discuss the real Quileute Tribe's history and culture in more detail.Native Storytelling Festival: The Real Story of the Quileute Wolves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmfbQRclFf8&t=2553sOriginal New Moon Epilogue: https://web.archive.org/web/20110623072037/http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/nm_outtakes_jacob.pdfQuileute ResourcesQuileute Nation official website: https://quileutenation.org/Learn about and donate to the Move to Higher Ground Project: https://mthg.org/get-involved/Follow Hannah!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hannahlisalohr/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hannahlisalohrYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HannahLisaLohrFollow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

If you thought the first installment was wild, just wait until you hear what this one has in store. There's a vampire and werewolf feud straight out of Twilight, faeries, demons, magical experiments, tons of family drama, and forbidden love. We had SO much fun talking about this book and can't wait to hear your opinions!Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast.

"I mean, when you're trapped in a box in the dark with three other boys, what else are you gonna talk about?"After two years of you asking for it, we finally took on Neal Shusterman's beloved and disturbing 2007 dystopian novel, Unwind. Kellie and Daphne are joined by longtime Unwind fan and our good friend, Lin, to discuss the book's real-life inspirations, political resonance, and shocking, frenetic plot. This book tackles several complex and emotionally charged issues alongside your typical YA hijinks and teenage drama, and we try to strike that balance in this episode as well.Links:Neal Shusterman Shelf Awareness Interview: https://www.shelf-awareness.com/sar-issue.html?issue=1149#m20670BBC News Bulletin: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6171083.stmAdditional Reading on Organ Memory: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306987719307145https://www.mdpi.com/2673-3943/5/1/2https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/medical-pseudoscience/donors-organ-donors-personality-lets-approach-sensiblyNational Marrow Donor Program (US): https://www.nmdp.org/get-involved/join-the-registryEpisode Suggestions Form: forms.gle/x2F2V73N6G4DwnmA9 Hosted on Acast.

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!

IDK."We're back with book four of The Selection series, as voted by our patrons! In Kiera Cass' time-jump installment The Heir, we follow America and Maxon's daughter Eadlyn as she reluctantly begins a Selection of her own. We had so much fun getting progressively more infuriated about bratty teenagers, relationships, and democracy itself throughout this book that at its core is basically just Bachelorette fan fiction.- Kristina Horner's review: The Heir by Kiera Cass | Review!- Book trailer: THE HEIR by Kiera Cass | Official Book Trailer | The Selection Series- The Heir with Dolls trailer: The Heir (with Dolls!) | Official Teaser Trailer | The Selection Series- The Heir with Dolls: The Heir (with Dolls!) | The Selection Series- Bonus Kiera Cass dramatic readings: Dramatic Readings by Kiera Cass | The Selection SeriesDramatic Readings from The Heir by Kiera Cass | The Selection Series- Pronunciations: The Selection Series | The Struggle is Real: Pronouncing Character Names- Kiera Cass’ YouTube: The Selection: Meet CelesteFollow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

We released our first special episode on the Sunrise on the Reaping movie back in May, and we were due for a part two because there has been SO much more news since then! Daphne and Kellie cover the rest of the casting announcements (including a certain huge one), what we know about the production, and our thoughts on the trailer, as well as a few predictions and theories about the film.Devon Singletary's contest submission: https://www.instagram.com/p/DKgLZYmt5W8 Hosted on Acast.

"It’s a hot family."You've asked for it...and asked and asked for it. Happy holidays; the wait is FINALLY over! We thought that Marie Lu's Legend (2011) was the perfect choice for our final book episode of the year. Kellie and Daphne recap the beloved plague/climate disaster dystopian romance and talk dual POVs, the failed road to adaptation, and lots of K-I-S-S-I-N-G.Submit your questions for our next episode here! https://forms.gle/5gfpVJjQyqDaVc2J9Note: This book was purchased at auction in July 2010 and published in November 2011.

"The spirit of the Maze is always with us."With the release of Wicked: For Good upon us, we thought it was the perfect time for us to read Danielle Paige's 2014 dystopian reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Must Die! This book builds on existing IP from both L Frank Baum's books and the 1939 movie, but with enough dystopian, fantasy, and Epic Reads elements to feel like a classic Rereading the Revolution selection.
