Seven Fallen Feathers by Tanya Talaga
This week Stephanie and Meghan decide to join the investigation and research of the residential schools in Canada and what they have become in the current environment. The book focuses on the death of seven First Nation students and the incompetency surrounding the investigation of the death of the students. While residential schools may be a thing of the past that has been brought to everyone's attention recently, there is still a lot of corruption and death surrounding the current iteration of the residential schools.
Major content warnings for death, alcoholism, suicide attempts, colonialization, and unanswered deaths.

Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite edited by Zoraida Córdova
This episode, Stephanie and Meg discuss VAMPIRES. Are they back? Are they even scary any more? Did Twilight ruin vampires for good?
We dive into the short story anthology Vampires Never Get Old: Tales with Fresh Bite to see! This collection is focused on taking the vampire mythos away from the cliche European, hetero vibe and twisting it into new and inventive ways! While some do not quite live up to this exciting idea, overall these are a lot of fun to explore.
Next Episode: Tim and Ollie discuss Lair of Dreams by Libba Bray while Stephanie and Meg take a small break!

Small Spaces by Katherine Arden
Despite our inching towards summer, Stephanie and Meghan are joined by Victoria Lucia to get in the mood for some fall spooks! For this round of our Read Harder challenge, we read Small Spaces by Katherine Arden! We talk about whether we as both 6th graders and as adults, how much we love and want to protect all three of our protagonists, and how much this book reminds us of our love for middle grade horror!

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
This week Stephanie and Meg read Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas!
First, there are some serious content warning for this book: the main character has to deal with a family who hasn't accepted that he is transgender. Major CW for misgendering, discussions of dead names, and other issues with families that only see the binary.
We discuss how wonderful this magical community is, falling in love with a dead boy, when is it appropriate to go to school during a murder mystery, and how bad ass a best friend can be!
