Henry Huggins Series
We are kicking off our Summer with the first four books of Henry Huggins by Beverly Cleary! These books were originally published in the 1950s, but are still very relatable today. And they feature a dog with a happy ending!

Holes Part 2
We finish off our discussion of Holes by Louis Sachar, and hopefully we get to all of major details. If not, let us know if we missed anything. And make sure to give the movie a watch as well if you've never seen it, it's a great companion to the book.

Holes Part 1
For May we read Holes by Louis Sachar, and it fits the weather we have going into summer! We were joined by Casey again, and since we had a lot to talk about this discussion got split into two episodes. So if you think we may have missed something, don't worry, we should get to it in part 2!

Choose Your Own Adventure Books
We are talking about a specific type of book this episode, though we only read one the many in the series. We are skipping pages and trying out multiple endings in the Choose Your Own Adventure genre through War With the Mutant Spider Ants by Edward Packard. Note: No co-hosts or spiders were harmed in this episode.

The Nutcracker
We hope everyone had a happy holiday season! This episode is a bit delayed, we were both down with illness and then holidays. But we are ending (and beginning!) the year with one of Marie's favorite books, The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman. This is the oldest book we've read so far, and even if you think you know the story you probably have never read the original. Join us as we battle mice and possibly journey to Narnia!
