Ep 17 - Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister

There's two sides to every story and in some cases a lot more than that. Everyone knows the story of Cinderella and how she managed to escape her horrible life and find love with a prince to live happily ever after. At least, that's her version. But what happened in the eyes of her stepsisters? This month we're planning on finding out what happened from some of the other players viewpoints. April's book will be How Star Wars Conquered the Universe by Chris Taylor.

Ep 16 - Pleasure Unbound

When you think of falling in love with vampires, werewolves and other creatures of the night, most people probably think of Twilight. It was wildly popular and managed to get people a little hot and bothered for being a YA book series. Imagine that being a 5 and turning it up to 11 by adding demons, hard core sex and violence. This month we read the first book in the Demonica series that does just that. If explicit sexual content isn't your thing, you might want to skip this month. If it is, get ready for an interesting conversation. March's book will be Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire.

Ep 15 - Modern Romance

Dating is hard. When arranged marriages lost momentum in most of the world, people started selecting thier own mates and usually it was someone who lived on the same street or at least in the same town. But now with the Internet and sites like eHarmony and OK Cupid as well as apps likes Facebook and Tinder, the choices are near limitless. So has technology made dating harder or has it always been hard and just changed? This month we're discussing Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari. February's book will be Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione.

Ep 13 - Catching Up on Books

We've read a lot of books that have taken us on adventures to space, alternate dimensions and back in time. We've learned about how to hopefully save the planet, why it's ok to be weird on the internet and what was really going on behind the scenes during the filming of Star Wars. But not everyone was able to keep up or able to share their thoughts. This week we're going back and taking a second look at the books we've read over the last year. December's book will be: Off To Be the Wizard by Scott Meyer.

Ep 10 - Unstoppable

Climate change is a fact and yet there are those who refuse to believe it. We need to start making changes to the way we live and treat this planet or this planet will stop being ours. There are some big changes we can make but in the end it may be the small changes that save us. Bill Nye "The Science Guy" discusses recycling, alterative fuels and the other things we can do to help save Earth from ourselves. No new book next month; we're taking a month off to get caught up. We will make sure to announce September's book as soon as we can.

Ep 9 - The Handmaid's Tale

In a post-apocalyptic world where most of the populous has become sterile, women who are able to give birth have become rare. But instead of being able to use this to their advantage, they have become breeding stock to the wealthy and powerful. Written by Margaret Atwood in 1985, The Handmaid's Tale is a terryfiying look at a future where women have lost almost all rights, even to those over their own bodies. We discuss the implications this would have on our world and of course ask that important question, "could this really happen?" We also announce our next book for July: Unstoppable by Bill Nye.

Ep 8 - 1984

Big Brother is watching you. We've all heard that saying about how the government is monitoring your actions but this is the birthplace of it. Before we started installing cameras on every public building and giving up our private info to social media sites, George Orwell envisioned a dystopia where everything you do is monitored by the government to include your very thoughts. The scary part, much of the warning in this book still hold true today! We also announce our next book for June; The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.
