Come sit around the fire and let us gaze into the flames as we look back on the 20th season of YA, We Read It!

Rick Riorden's Percy Jackson and the Olympians debuted in 2005 and gave us 5 books about Percy learning he's a demigod, going on quests, and coming of age. Join your hosts Meggie and Laura as they talk about Percy and his journey one last time.

Final Thoughts: Percy Jackson & The Olympians

Meggie and Laura are back at their respective virtual recording studios to regale you with their discoveries after reading the fifth and final Percy Jackson book. Percy is about to be 16 and its time for him to really hear his big prophecy for the first time. Chaos and destruction are near as Kronos is planning his ultimate takeover with the Titan army!!! It's Camp Half-Blood v. Kronos + Titans + the spy from camp. Who will win! What will Percy choose!!! 

The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson & The Olympians #5)

Another summer is here and Luke and Kronos are still a threat to Camp Half-Blood. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson team up and head way down below into Daedalus' Labyrinth to stop the pending invasion. Tune in as Laura and Meggie navigate their way through book 4 of Percy Jackson & the Olympians!!! 

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

Well, well, well, if it isn't another episode of YA, We Read It! (It is!!!!) Meggie and Laura are back in the saddle and Percy is on winter break. Called to assist with some new half-bloods, him, Grover, Thalia and Annabeth spring into action! Things go from bad to worse when Annabeth goes missing and a new group of heroes called The Hunters come to play and they do not want any help from the half-bloods. 

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. 

The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson & The Olympians #2)

Season 20 of YA, We Read It is here! It's time to lock into a middle-grade series from the aughts: Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Meggie and Laura are back at the mics and extremely excited to dive into a place where their past selves never went: to Camp Half-Blood. It's 0 to 100 as Percy's entire world is turned upside down when he finds out that his real dad is Poseiden, the Greek God of the Sea. 

The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson & the Olympians #1)

You're welcome!!! See you soon! 

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

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.
