The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson & The Olympians #4)

Called to assist with some new half-bloods, him, Grover, Thalia and Annabeth spring into action!

The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson & The Olympians #3)

Another summer approaches for Percy and he's kind of getting used to this whole Half-Blood thing. When nightmares of Grover in need combined with suspicious activities at camp lead to another quest on the table, Percy will do anything he can to get Grover back and save Camp Half-Blood. With Annabeth and his new friend/half-brother Tyson in tow its time to sail the ocean blue! Join Laura and Meggie as they *dive* (pun intended!!!) into the Sea of Monsters.

People We Meet on Vacation

It's time for a very special episode of YA, We Read It! in which Meggie and Laura are sitting down with author Lynn Painter to discuss her writing, the midwest, and her most recent novel Fake Skating. (This is very exciting for us!!!!) 

Interview with Lynn Painter

Once every 100 years six rulers fight to break the curses given to their realm. And once every Wednesday Laura and Meggie release the audio track of their yapping recovered from the most recent time they say their butts in front of their microphones to talk about the books they're reading. It's time for the fated hosts to lay to rest their final thoughts of the Lightlark Saga, Isla and her love triangle, the many powers and plot points, and everything in between. See you next season! 

Final Thoughts: The Lightlark Saga

It's time the 4th book in Alex Aster's Lightlark series and Laura and Meggie are ready to portal themselves into Isla's ever-unfolding story. Now that Isla's gone to another world entirely with her own plans to defeat Lark, Grim and Oro are forced to work together to help her any way they can. But, that's going to prove harder than anticipated considering she's in another world entirely... Don't you love when a love triangle brings people closer together? We sure do! 

Crowntide

It's book 3 in Alex Aster's Lightlark series, Skyshade. Picking up directly after the massive war on Lightlark that was supposed to (in Isla's eyes) cement Grim and all of Nightshade as the evil beings they are, she's instead learned that before her memories were taken she actually died in battle, Grim saved her life, and they fell in love and got married -- whoops! So she's going to feel out that whole situation by returning with Grim to be his wife, but as you and Laura and Meggie know, there's sure to be another obstacle for our fateful protagonist just around the corner. 

Skyshade

Lock in, it's book 2 in the Lightlark series: Nightbane. It's after the Centennial and Isla is staying on Lightlark enjoying the stress of her win as she learns more about her powers and contemplates how to rule 2 realms. More stress? Sure! Isla is slowly starting to get all her memories (that Grim took away) back. MORE? Absolutely! Nightshade is coming to Lightlark to destroy it once and for all. Tune in as Meggie and Laura review it all! 

Nightbane

Friendship, adventure, first kisses, first fights, and sometimes supernatural: Young Adult novels are a treasure given to us by authors around the world. Best friends and comedians Laura Petro and Meggie Gates are sitting down for their very own book club to reread the series that shaped their school years in "YA, We Read It!" because yes. Yes, they did actually read it.
