Pearson's series. Tune in to revisit the romance, the journey across a continent, and where it all started with Morrighan. 

Final Thoughts: The Remnant Chronicles + Morrighan

Laura and Meggie are sat for the big finale in The Remnant Chronicles series as they crack open the near-700-page The Beauty of Darkness. Some might say the real beauty of darkness is the friends you make along the way and we'd agree!

The Beauty of Darkness (Remnant Chronicles #3)

Picking up right where we left off last book The Heart of Betrayal kicks off with Lia and Rafe held captive in Venda and immediately thinking of their next moves to get the heck out of there. Meanwhile Kaden is trying to convince both the Komizar (and himself) that bringing Lia to the barbarian kingdom was a good idea. Join Laura and Meggie as they discuss, dissect, and fully immerse themselves in the continuation of The Remnant Chronicles

Sunrise on the Reaping - Part 1

Join Meggie and Laura for their sit down session of divulging every last thought they possibly have on Kass Morgan's post-apocalyptic The 100 series. They laughed, they cried, they had MANY thoughts on the various characters and their relationships throughout, but now it's time to float away and move to the next one! 

Final Thoughts: The 100 series

It's been over a month since the 100 crash landed on Earth and it's been filled with danger at every turn. With preparations for a peaceful feast with the Earthborns underway it finally seems like everything is going to be okay -- until it isn't! A new threat quickly emerges with fancy white clothes, sedatives, and grenades (surprise! It's a cult!). Join your hosts Meggie and Laura and they discuss the final 100 book. 

The 100 - Rebellion

Laura and Meggie wish they could tell you that The 100: Homecoming is about everyone having a nice big dance on Earth, but unfortunately that's not the case. The remaining dropships have landed on Earth, which is great because Glass can reunite with her friends, but it's much much worse considering her mom just died and Vice Chancellor Rhodes is here to ruin everything the 100 has built so far. Glass takes to the woods while Bellamy, Clarke, and Wells flee to the Earthborns' village and there's danger really at every turn. 

The 100 - Homecoming

Friendship, adventure, first kisses, first fights, and sometimes supernatural: Young Adult novels are a treasure given to us by authors around the world.

Yes, they did actually read it.
