Hosted ByAlli Hoff Kosik

Each week, freelance writer and lifelong bookworm Alli Hoff Kosik will challenge a guest to reread a literary throwback or to experience for the first time ever a book they may have missed as a kid. After that, they'll be asked to spill all the feels and all the opinions about that book on the air for your podcast-listening pleasure. Every Tuesday, you can find us breaking down an old school read from our tween and teen days on a new episode of the show. We'll cover everything from The Baby-Sitters Club to Holes, Nancy Drew to Harry Potter. This time around, we're a little wiser (yay!), a lot older (ugh.), and of legal age to drink wine... so we'll have a lot to say. Happy Reading!

Episode 119: The Voting Booth (New Reads November)

November 3, 2020 01:02:14

It’s the first episode of New Reads November 2020!

Appropriately (since Episode 119 drops on Election Day), the first new YA title up for discussion for New Reads November is Brandy Colbert’s The Voting Booth. The Voting Booth chronicles a single Election Day from two perspectives — the politically passionate Marva and the quiet activist Duke. What happens when Marva commits to doing whatever is necessary to get Duke to vote? Listen to this episode (and read the book!) to find out!

Bookstagrammer Cayla Turner joins Alli for this conversation about everything from voter suppression and race to Instagram pets and healthy relationships. Follow her on Instagram (@bookitqueen).

And remember to vote!
