"Maybe step down and let the people vote. 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.

"It’s the holidays. We’ve gotta have this be a little interesting."

Continuing last year's tradition, we're wrapping up the year with a fun little episode reflecting on 2025 and what's to come in 2026. Then, Kellie and Daphne take on your fan questions on a wide range of subjects from favorite and least favorite books to the ins and outs of podcasting and roller coasters. Lots of personal lore is dropped, as well as a pretty exciting announcement!

Sunrise on the Reaping Movie Updates and Predictions (Special Episode!) Dec 17, 2025

Show notes

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.

“I always wanted to have seen this movie since we started the podcast two years ago.”

After imbibing approximately one margarita malt beverage each, we took on the 2013 film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's The Host. In this episode, Kellie and Daphne compare the book and movie, discuss the making-of, and share some Hollywood history. Side tangents include the Percy Jackson films, our unwavering support for Paul Dano, and a koi pond we used to know. Somehow we didn’t even mention the fact that the three male leads all look exactly like each other.

Legend | "Everyone is Attractive" Dec 05, 2025

Show notes

"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.

Note: This book was purchased at auction in July 2010 and published in November 2011. One of your hosts (I'll let you guess who) submitted an edit to Wikipedia and the page has been corrected 😉

“Seventy-three chapters don’t write themselves!"

We’re officially wrapping up the Maze Runner trilogy with James Dashner’s The Death Cure. Colin’s back, and I think you all know what to expect at this point. Kellie, Daphne, and Colin discuss the unrelenting bleakness of the series, the very plausible theory that Thomas has a traumatic brain injury that’s affecting his decision-making skills, the lack of kissing, and that unresolved ending.

Bonus Colin episode activity: count the number of references to Damon Lindelof shows.

Dorothy Must Die | "Wicked For Emo Girls" Nov 21, 2025

Show notes

"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. Follow us down this dark and twisted version of the yellow brick road...if you dare!

Beautiful Creatures Part 2 | "Everybody Hates Lena" Nov 07, 2025

Show notes

"Let me talk to them in a language they understand: gossip."

There's a bad moon rising...or maybe sixteen of them? Kellie and Daphne are back with special guest Bailey to discuss the second half of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's Beautiful Creatures! More hit songs and bad accents from the audiobook are revealed, we posit our many unanswered questions, and Bailey shares her own supernatural reading experience.

Beautiful Creatures Part 1 | "Trip Down Memory Lane" Oct 24, 2025

Show notes

"Immediately, she’s giving off the vibe of someone who might know some spells."

I hope you missed our singing! For Halloween this year, we're reading Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's Beautiful Creatures (2009). We're joined by the hilarious Bailey for part one of a double episode on the book. Kellie, Daphne, and Bailey talk about this book's unusual origin, its historical influences and implications, and all things witches--I mean, Casters.
