Do you love Percy Jackson? What about The Hunger Games? If so, we want to welcome you to The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas! Every decade, ten of the most worthy semidioses (demigods) compete in the Sunbearer Trials. The winner carries light & life to all the temples of Reino del Sol. The loser, however, has the greatest honor of all--they will be sacrificed & their body melted down to refuel the Sun Stones, protecting the world for another ten years. Our main character Teo isn't afraid or even too worried about the upcoming trials....until he's drafted into them himself. Being the son of the god of birds does have its perks, but is it enough to keep him alive? We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we loved the book!

A new beach read for book lovers just in time for Labor Day weekend- Happy Place by Emily Henry! This tug at your heartstrings, second chance romance has everything- salty coastal air, an idyllic cottage, complex friendships, and plenty of miscommunication. Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since they met in college—they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now—for reasons they’re still not discussing—they don’t. They broke up five months ago. And still haven’t told their best friends. Which is how they find themselves sharing a bedroom at the Maine cottage that has been their friend group’s yearly getaway for the last decade.
We hope you like the episode as much as we liked the book!

Becky Albertalli's new novel, Imogen, Obviously, expertly tackles the complexities of sexuality, friendship, and queer identity. Friend of the pod Sammie (aka booksdogsandcoffee) filled in this week as co-host! Synopsis: Imogen Scott holds the World’s Greatest Ally title so, when her best friend Lili needs some support at her new college campus, Imogen's ready to bring her Ally A game! Here's the thing- Lili has told all her college friends that her and Imogen used to date. And none of them know that Imogen is a raging hetero—not even Lili’s best friend, Tessa. Of course, the more time Imogen spends with chaotic, freckle-faced Tessa, the more she starts to wonder if her truth was ever all that straight to begin with. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we loved the book! Thanks again Sammie for hanging out with us!

Chung ultimately has written a story about humans, our relationships with each other, and what it really means to take control of your life.

This week we dive into a new genre: Solarpunk, aka radical optimism about Earth and humanity's shared future. We read Phoebe Wagner's debut novella When We Hold Each Other Up which explores a post-dystopian world in need of balance, but at the expense of whom and what? This book challenges us to discard the doom and gloom about our future, and to consider what we could accomplish if we chose to work together. We hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed this book!
