    Banned Book Week Series: Sold by Patricia McCormick

    In honor of Banned Book Week Greicy and Heather are discussing different books this week that have been on the annual list of banned and challenged books. Today's discussion will focus on Sold by Patricia McCormick. Sold: Lakshmi is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives with her family in a small hut on a mountain in Nepal. Though she is desperately poor, her life is full of simple pleasures, like playing hopscotch with her best friend from school and having her mother brush her hair by the light of an oil lamp. But when the harsh Himalayan monsoons wash away all that remains of the family's crops, Lakshmi's stepfather says she must leave home and take a job to support her family. He introduces her to a glamorous stranger who tells her she will find her a job as a maid in the city. Glad to be able to help, Lakshmi journeys to India and arrives at "Happiness House" full of hope. But she soon learns the unthinkable truth: she has been sold into prostitution. An old woman named Mumtaz rules the brothel with cruelty and cunning. She tells Lakshmi that she is trapped there until she can pay off her family's debt - then cheats Lakshmi of her meager earnings so that she can never leave. Lakshmi's life becomes a nightmare from which she cannot escape. Still, she lives by her mother's words - simply to endure is to triumph - and gradually, she forms friendships with the other girls that enable her to survive in this terrifying new world. Then the day comes when she must make a decision - will she risk everything for a chance to reclaim her life? Banned Book Week (October 4-10, 2026): Banned Books Week was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in libraries, bookstores, and schools.

    Banned Book Week Series: All Boys Aren't Blue, A Memoir-Manifesto by George M. Johnson

    In honor of Banned Book Week Greicy and Heather are discussing different books this week that have been on the annual list of banned and challenged books. Today's discussion will focus on All Boys Aren't Blue, A Memoir-Manifesto by George M. Johnson. All Boys Aren't Blue: From the memories of getting his teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with his loving grandmother, to his first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by Black queer boys. Both a primer for teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young queer men of color, All Boys Aren't Blue covers topics such as gender identity, toxic masculinity, brotherhood, family, structural marginalization, consent, and Black joy. Johnson's emotionally frank style of writing will appeal directly to young adults. (Johnson used he/him pronouns at the time of publication.)

    Mini GABBin' Bonus Series: The Traitors: New Blood, Episode One

    This week Greicy and Heather give a brief update on their thoughts regarding episode one The Traitors: New Blood.  The Traitors: New Blood (Peacock): The Traitors comes to NBC with an all-new civilian version of Peacock’s Emmy Award-winning competition reality series known for strategic gameplay and skillful saboteurs. In this brand-new iteration of The Traitors for NBC, Emmy-winning host Alan Cumming opens the doors of his now-infamous castle in the Scottish Highlands to 22 everyday Americans. From among them he will choose who will play as Traitors and who must survive as Faithful. The Traitors is a nail-biting psychological adventure in which treachery and deceit are the name of the game. Set at an ancient castle deep in the Scottish Highlands, contestants work together on a series of exhilarating missions to build a prize fund worth up to $250,000. Hidden among the Faithful are the Traitors, whose goal is to eliminate the Faithful and claim the prize for themselves. Under the cover of darkness, the Traitors murder the Faithful one by one in a treacherous spree while the Faithful try to uncover the Traitors and banish them from the game. If at the end of the game the remaining Faithful contestants have banished all the Traitors, they share the prize fund, but if a Traitor (or Traitors) is still among them, they win all the money. The Traitors is produced by Studio Lambert. Alan Cumming hosts and serves as an executive producer along with Mike Cotton, Sam Rees-Jones, Rosie Franks, Jack Burgess, Stephen Lambert, Tim Harcourt and Doran Azouelos.

    Say You'll Remember Me Series by Abby Jimenez Part Two

    This week Greicy and Heather discuss the Abby Jimenez book series, Say You'll Remember Me. This is the second part of a two-part series.  Say You'll Remember Me (Book One): There's no such thing as a perfect guy, but Xavier Rush comes disastrously close. A gorgeous veterinarian giving Greek god vibes—all while cuddling a tiny kitten? Immediate yes. That is until Xavier opens his mouth and proves that even sculpted gods can say the absolute wrong thing. Like, really wrong. Of course, there’s nothing Samantha loves more than proving an a*****e wrong ... unless, of course, he can admit he made a mistake. But after one incredible and seemingly endless date, Samantha is forced to admit the truth, that her family is in crisis and any kind of relationship would be impossible. Samantha begs Xavier to forget her. To remember their night together as a perfect moment, as crushing as that may be. Only no amount of distance or time is enough to forget what's between them. And the only thing better than one single perfect memory is to make a life—and even a love—worth remembering. The Night We Met (Book Two): For Larissa, it came when choosing who to ride home with after a concert. That night, she had no idea she’d met the perfect man. She and Chris are great friends, co-parenting a slightly unhinged rescue Yorkie, sharing their favorite books, and judging bread (pumpernickel for the win!). For the first time amid all her side hustles to scrape by, things finally feel easy. But she didn’t choose Chris to drive her home all those months ago—she went with his best friend, and he became her boyfriend. All Chris wants is for Larissa to be happy. Standing by on the sidelines is slowly killing him, but making a move would destroy someone else. How can something that feels so right be absolutely impossible?  Follow us on Insta and feel free to buy us a coffee (we need the caffeine)!  https://linktr.ee/gabbin_podcast  www.instagram.com/gabbinpodcast GABbin' Podcast - YouTube https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gabbinpodcy
