Fall 2022: What we're reading

The podcast might be winding down at the end of the year, but we're still planning to fit in a couple more book club discussions, starting with a special Halloween-themed pick! This month we're reading a graphic novel: Squad by Maggie Tokuda-Hall, illustrated by Lisa Sterle. Here's what you need to know from the blurb: Pretty Little Liars meets Teen Wolf in this sharply funny, and patriarchy-smashing graphic novel from author Maggie Tokuda-Hall and artist Lisa Sterle. When the new girl is invited to join her high school’s most popular clique, she can’t believe her luck—and she can’t believe their secret, either. When Becca transfers to a high school in an elite San Francisco suburb, she’s worried she’s not going to fit in. To her surprise, she’s immediately adopted by the most popular girls in school. At first glance, Marley, Arianna, and Mandy are perfect. But at a party under a full moon, Becca learns that they also have a big secret. Becca’s new friends are werewolves. Their prey? Slimy boys who take advantage of unsuspecting girls. Eager to be accepted, Becca allows her friends to turn her into a werewolf, and finally, for the first time in her life, she feels like she truly belongs. But then things get complicated. As their pack begins to buckle under the pressure, their moral high ground gets muddier and muddier—and Becca realizes that she might have feelings for one of her new best friends. ----- The book club discussion will be released at the end of next week — just in time for the Halloween weekend!

Why 'Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' has some of us worried

While it's sometimes a touchy subject, we can all at least agree that adults have a massive impact on how YA is written and discussed. All of us at Bookstacked started reading YA books as teenagers but now that we're adults, we ask ourselves why we're still reading YA? In this episode, we dive into the good and the bad when it comes to adults reading YA. In this episode:  So why are so many adults reading YA anyway? Most of us started reading YA when we were teenagers. What's kept us tied to YA books after all these years? Does the fact that so many adults read YA ruin reading for teens? Where does New Adult fit into all of this? Could New Adult be the solution to some of the confusion around YA? We discuss how some young adult authors approach writing adult fiction. Let’s make the case FOR adults reading YA!  Related Reading:  Read Eleanor's review of Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J.

Let's talk about adults reading YA

You can go ahead and say it: it's a great time to be a YA fan ... especially if you have a longing for nostalgic days. Two massive news stories dropped in May: Stephenie Meyer is releasing Midnight Sun (finally!) and Rick Riordan has somehow convinced the "powers-that-be" (aka Disney Plus) to adapt the Percy Jackson novels as a TV show. Naturally, we had to sit down and discuss the new developments in this impromptu Bookmarked bonus episode! Note: Our promised Harry Potter discussion is still coming.

We freak out about 'Midnight Sun' and Percy Jackson on Disney Plus

A Hunger Games prequel? It's happening! And naturally, we've got a lot to say about it. We dive into everything we know about Suzanne Collins' upcoming prequel and explore a couple of theories circulating the YA book community. We also take a look at what this means for the series as a whole and how Lionsgate may be in the background pulling some of the strings. Follow us on our brand new Twitter account: @BookmarkedYA Also, if you're wanting to listen to that Writing Excuses episode suggested by Saul, you can check it out here. In this episode...  It's possible that we have psychic powers. Wasn't Suzanne Collins done writing The Hunger Games? A look back at what she's said in the past. Why has Suzanne Collins decided to return to Panem? It looks like we'll be exploring the reconstruction period of Panem. How similar will this world be to the world Katniss lives in? IS THIS A MAGS BOOK!? We review the evidence. We're crossing our fingers and hoping that this stays a single book. What role did Lionsgate play in making this happen? We remember that there's a Hunger Games theme park. It sounds like there's going to be a Hunger Games prequel movie too.  In the headlines...  A Hunger Games prequel? Suzanne Collins announces 2020 release Is the Hunger Games prequel about Mags?

When you dislike (but actually love) romance in YA books

Nora Shalaway Carpenter

Nora Shalaway Carpenter, author of the Kirkus starred YA debut The Edge of Anything, joins us this week to talk about her book, her experiences, and the struggles faced by those experiencing issues with mental health. We also talk about the importance of friendships and of having people around who you can turn to for help. In this episode …  Michael takes over hosting duties, but don’t worry, it’s only for this week! Nora shares some frightening statistics about mental health in teens. We’d love to see more sports in YA books. Do close friendships get lost in the middle of young adults looking for The One? What’s wrong with boys reading books about girls? Look out for Nora’s next project, a mixed-genre anthology about rural America! We get all Marvel Cinematic Universe with our credits…  We’d like to once again sincerely thank Nora for coming onto the show to talk so openly and honestly about some of her struggles, and to talk about The Edge of Anything. If anyone feels like they may need to seek out help, or for anyone looking to research more into ways that they can be the help someone might need, links to all of the resources Nora mentioned are listed below.

Is 'Eleanor & Park' racist? And more YA book news

It seems to be that just about every book series is getting a spin-off these days -- that includes modern classics like Harry Potter all the way down to YA mega franchises like the Shadowhunters Chronicles. We love some of them. Others make us upset. And we thought it'd be relevant to discuss the dangers (and upsides) of adding too much to an already established world. Keep in mind, we recorded this episode before the J.K. Rowling controversy hit the internet earlier this week. It just goes to show you that this is on everyone's mind. In this episode...  Yay or nay to spin-offs? What's everyone's reaction to when spin-offs are announced? Are spin-offs ever necessary? We talk Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunters Chronicles. Is there a certain budget when it comes to spin-offs? Can a writer add too much? Where does J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World fit into all this?  In the headlines...  There's a new Harry Potter mobile game coming from the makers of Pokémon Go. We've got our first look at the illustrated edition of Goblet of Fire! We're learning more and more about Amazon's 'Lord of the Rings' Shadowhunters is on its final season. Children of Blood and Bone's sequel is getting a later release date.  Related Linkage:  ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ illustrated edition cover and release date revealed!

Do spin-offs add to or ruin a good book series?

Do you ever feel like you're in a reading slump? It's the sort of terrible feeling where you want to read books but it feels like homework or doing chores.

How do you overcome reader burnout?

There’s a lot to be said about this movie and we’re diving right in! The twists and turns, as well as that shocking ending, has made this a polarizing film for fans of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. As far as the Bookstacked podcast crew is concerned, most of us loved it — but one of us hated it. In this episode…  Saul decides that ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ is better than ‘Crimes of Grindelwald.’ Did Newt have a proper character arc in this movie? What role will the blood pact play in future movies? We all agree: the romance was great (and hilarious!) Tina and Newt make a good match! Jude Law as Dumbledore — yay or nay? We read some listener mail! Did Rita Skeeter reveal the end of the Fantastic Beasts series in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? After everything that led up to this movie — how do we feel about Johnny Depp as Grindelwald? We’re here for Jacob’s comedic relief. Queenie elicited some strong emotions. Were some of the World War II references inappropriate? We finally got Leta Lestrange — did we like how her character was handled? Is Credence really a Dumbledore? Nifflers. ‘Nuff said.

Lexa Hillyer on YA Books and Publishing (Author Interview)

There's a brand new Crimes of Grindelwald trailer out -- and we're diving in to learn everything we can about J.K. Rowling's upcoming movie! In this episode...  A friendly reminder: Don't pirate your books! The new trailer brings back all the Harry Potter feels! There are a lot of Harry Potter easter eggs in this trailer. People blew the whole Dumbledore-Defense Against the Dark Arts thing waaaay out of proportion. Why does Dumbledore specifically choose Newt to go after Grindelwald? WHAT IS GRINDELWALD DOING IN THE MIRROR OF ERISED!?! (Okay, we know what he's doing. We're just surprised to see him!) We talk a bit about Johnny Depp. We catch our first glimpse of Nicholas Flamel. We talk the Nagini theory that's been circulating online. The trailer introduced a lot of new fantastic beasts! Veronica Roth is writing a new book! We're excited for The Darkest Minds movie.

Book Cons, Shadowhunters Canceled, and Children of Blood and Bone!

That's it for Thomas and his friends! The Maze Runner movie trilogy has come to a close and we have a lot of thoughts about the closing chapter, The Death Cure. Saul, Kristy and Michael sit down to discuss what they loved about the movie and also what they felt it was lacking. The ending of the Maze Runner franchise also begs the question: Is this the end of blockbuster YA film adaptations? We discuss it all in this latest episode of Bookmarked. What to expect in this episode:  This movie is action, action, action! Did the new Minho storyline work? What are some of the big differences between the Death Cure movie and the book? Newt's letter was so much nicer than the note he wrote Thomas in the book. Would it have been better if Newt survived? We've gotta talk about that bus. James Dashner totally has a cameo in the Death Cure movie! Is the movie lacking substance and meaning? Does it matter? They made a major change when it comes to Brenda and WCKD. Was Death Cure what Allegiant was supposed to be? Does Maze Runner mark the end of YA dystopia films? We're going to miss the Maze Runner cast. :(  Related Linkage:   Saul's Death Cure movie review  24 Death Cure Book vs. Movie Changes  Bookmarked is brought to you by Audible.com!

The Death Cure Movie Review

This episode is late (like, really late). It was recorded in November. But rather than trashing the episode, we're releasing it because we had some good discussion. We share our thoughts on the final Maze Runner movie (before its release), our thoughts on Nicholas Flamel in Fantastic Beasts, a Pokemon Go-style Harry Potter game and whether or not the Red Queen movie is still happening. So while it's late, we hope you'll enjoy this episode of Bookmarked! What to expect in this episode...  We say hello to Bookstacked writer Britani, who's joining the show for the first time! Does the 'Maze Runner: Death Cure' movie look good? What's the future of YA movie franchises? It's looking bleak. Is the Red Queen Movie still happening? We haven't heard anything about the movie for a year. We share our experiences trying to buy tickets to 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' in New York City. Nicholas Flamel is going to be in Fantastic Beasts! What's he up to in this movie? Apparently, you need to play The Sims to get into a J.K. Rowling movie. Harry Potter GO! Nostalgia attack! Remember the old Harry Potter computer games? What would make a perfect Harry Potter game? Michael shares his quick thoughts on John Green's Turtles All the Way Down.  Don't miss our Death Cure movie review, coming out in just a couple days!

The One That Was Really Late

Harry Potter again? We saw some big developments in the Wizarding World this last month. The folks at Warner Bros. unveiled many new details concerning Fantastic Beasts 2 -- and we're here to dissect and discuss everything we've learned. On top of that, June marked the 20 year anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the beginning of the Harry Potter series. July marked the 10 year anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the end of the Harry Potter series. We reminisce on what Harry Potter has meant to us. What you'll find in this episode...  Bookstacked writer Alice joins us for this special Wizarding World episode! Michael is reading Alexandra Bracken's upcoming book, and Addie is deep into baking recipes. Alice recommends not watching the Outlander television show with your mother. There was a MASSIVE Fantastic Beasts news dump this last month! Grindelwald will be making his big escape. What will his goal be in this movie? Will we be seeing Dumbledore flashbacks in Fantastic Beasts 2? Saul re-shares his Philosopher's Stone/Fantastic Beasts 2 theory. We speculate how the magical circus might come into play. Dumbledore will apparently be tracking Grindelwald down -- why is he reaching out to Newt for help? How long will Newt stay relevant to the series? Tina, Queenie, Jacob and Credence are all coming back! Will we ever see Ilvermorny? Fantastic Beasts Illustrated editions are on their way! We share how we discovered Harry Potter, in honor of the 20th anniversary of Philosopher's Stone and the 10th anniversary of Deathly Hallows. In not-Harry Potter news, John Green announced his next book, Turtles All the Way Down! We geek out about the 'Ready Player One' trailer.
