Exploring the lives of a Pakistani community through the eyes of two young protagonists, this book confronts trauma, grief, family and forgiveness in a way that rings authentic. We love this book!

'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' — let's discuss

Everyone's been talking about it — and now we can too! The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes kicked off the summer in YA books. The reception has been mostly mixed throughout the community, but we were surprised to find that most of us enjoyed it in some way! While it's certainly very different from the previous Hunger Games books, the story of Coriolanus Snow has a lot to offer and teach us. As part of our initiative to do more, we're donating 100% of our ad earnings from the month of June to the Trevor Project. We donated 100% of our earnings from May to Black Lives Matter. Learn more about why here. In this episode: Is The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes too long of a book? What kind of origin story did Suzanne Collins give us? We look at nature vs. nurture. Does Coriolanus ever really love Lucy Gray? It's hard to understate Lucy Gray's impact. Are the games better in the earlier days or during Katniss' days? Do all the connections to the Hunger Games trilogy ruin the original books? Sejanus definitely couldn't have survived during the age of Katniss.

Obert Skye: Imagination & impacting children through writing

Obert Skye has a rule: “If it’s funny, say it!” It’s that sort of humor that fills the pages of his books. Having written 30 books, Obert Skye is probably best known for his Leven Thumps series. In our second episode of About the Author, he sits down with us to discuss his approach to writing. (Hint: it’s all about the crazy, funny and weird!) Obert Skye is also a professional speaker. He’s spoken at over 6,000 schools, sharing a message of passion, imagination and hope with children across America. He’ll take us behind the scenes to tell us how he got his start and the impact he’s seen his work have on his readers.

Mark Jeffrey: Podcasting a novel and self-publishing

Mark Jeffrey has always thought outside the box. He’s first and foremost an entrepreneur -- that’s his thing. So it wasn’t a surprise when he approached self-publishing differently than most. He gave his book away for free. But we’re not talking about Kindle-Daily-Special-free either (the Kindle hadn’t even been invented yet!). He read his novel in front of a microphone, turning it into an audiobook and then releasing it as a podcast. The result was an audience of over 2 million and an eventual deal with one of the biggest publishers in the world. For our pilot episode of About the Author, we’re speaking with Mark about how he wrote his book and then shared it with the world. Mark’s creative and entrepreneurial approach to self-publishing is an exciting story that’s sure to entertain creatives and inform soon-to-be writers.

Tyler Whitesides: Pursuing a Dream and Writing Fantasy

The janitors cleaning your middle school are magical wizards. Sounds crazy, but that’s the premise behind Tyler Whiteside’s mega-popular children’s fantasy series Janitors. He got the idea while working a custodial job as a college student. Writing the book launched his career, allowing him to become a full-time author almost immediately after graduating. Now Tyler’s shifting gears and releasing an adult fantasy novel. In our final episode, he tells us how he developed the idea for janitors and how he’s adapting to a new genre.

Liana Gardner: Writing in the face of Adversity

Liana Gardner has a passion for writing – she started when she was just nine-years-old! She also has a passion for good books. It was her frustration with the books her younger sister was reading that led her to write her award-winning novels Misfit McCabe and Nowhere Feels Like Home. And then in 2013, she received some life-changing news: she had leukemia. Yet while most would see that as a sign of the end, it became another source for Liana’s passion to write. In this episode of About the Author, Liana shares how she’s taken a challenging life obstacle and turned it into a message of passion and devotion. It’s an inspiring story that everyone’s going to want to hear.

Allegiant Movie Review

Bookmarked is a YA Book podcast brought to you by Bookstacked.com. SPOILER WARNING: There are Allegiant Movie AND BOOK spoilers in this episode! You have been warned! After months of speculation, rumors, trailers, and talk the 'Allegiant' movie finally hit theaters! And was it good? Well, that's what we're talking about in this episode! All in all, the movie left a bad taste in everyone's mouth and it's got us wondering about the final movie in the series, 'Ascendant'. You might also be interested in: Addie's 'Allegiant' Movie Review Saul's 26 Differences Between the 'Allegiant' Movie and Book In this episode... We've OFFICIALLY reached a full year of podcasting! To make up for missing our Red Queen podcast, we share our brief thoughts about Victoria Aveyard's Glass Sword. We give an update on the books we're reading. Michael couldn't be on the show, but he left us with his thoughts on the movie! Overall, we weren't very impressed with the movie. Kristy and Addie enjoyed a number of the actors. We all agree that Four's action scene was pretty cool. What was up with those creepy showers? Where was Matt Damon? Speaking of Matt Damon, what was up with the Martian landscape? It felt like they dumbed-down Tris in this movie. Did the movie split well? What will 'Ascendant' be about? Where was Uriah? That ending scene was... weird. It's safe to say that we were weirded out by the movie. In fact, we say the word "weird" over 30 times in this episode. We probably used the words "awkward" and "strange" just as many times in this review. Bookmarked is brought to you by Audible.com! You can get a FREE audiobook of Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen or Glass Sword when you sign up for a 30-day free trial membership. Click here for more info!
