    Divergent

    Choose your faction...or don't? Welcome back to EBTB! Join Lyss as she re-reads the Divergent series by Veronica Roth, and Sarah reads it for the first time. Expectations will be subverted, YA dystopian tropes will be discovered, and your fear of intimacy will be exposed to all your classmates. Wait, run that last one by me again? Featuring listener-suggested bonus content; lesbian mac + cheese lawyer. No, I will not elaborate.

    Third Season...and Fourth Wing (PT. 1)

    On this episode we talk sound settings, special editions, Sarah tries to deny being a Swiftie, Lyss auditions for Dune 3 while speculating on K-Dramas, and eventually we start on one of the most popular releases of the year. New season, same socials! One of our favorite things about this show has been getting to connect with other readers.

    I'M CANCELLING NETFLIX

    Well the inevitable finally happened...Sarah has moved away from Lyss. AT LEAST WE HAVE THE INTERNET! The gals are back to singing, criticizing, and gushing over what we've been reading. They'll talk about some BookTok drama (because of course it's messy on there), and we will find out what K-drama Lyss has been kicking her feet over! Also...why IS Sarah cancelling her favorite streaming service?!? We love hearing from our listeners! Hit us up at everythingbutthebookpod.com, everythingbutthebookpod@gmail.com, and EverythingButTheBookPod on our social media!
