Rereading the Revolution: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Kellie and Daphne
Whether it was a reaction to the politics of the time or the rapidly approaching end date of the Mayan calendar, the pop-cultural landscape of the early 2010s can be best remembered for one thing: dystopian literature. Join plucky young heroines and podcast hosts Daphne and Kellie as they dive into all of your favorite young adult novels and series from this era as we reread the revolution. We lived through it once and are back to recap, review, and discuss all the best and worst that the world-shifting genre of YA fiction has to offer–the sci-fi, the fantasy, and the supernatural–at least until our society crumbles and we have to survive a brave new world.

Paper Towns | "I’m a Girl and I’m Not Okay"
“He really John Greened in this one."The time has come for another John Green episode, and this time our Patreon subscribers voted for Paper Towns (2008)! This is a book whose cultural significance is based more on the kind of story that it became a symbol of rather than the plot itself. Kellie and Daphne unpack the nuances and accuracy of the "manic pixie dream girl" label for Margo, along with road trips, discussions about metaphors, quirky character traits, and nerds getting kissed by cool girls. I mean, it's first-era John Green. You all know what to expect by now!CW: This episode contains multiple mentions of suicide.

The Giver Movie | "It's Not Giving" (Sneak Peek)
UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION"If you're going to destroy my book, at least put Meryl Streep in it."It was another very close poll for our movie bonus episode this month, but the 2014 cinematic classic The Giver took the crown. It also took 97 minutes of our lives that we can never get back. Kellie and Daphne discuss the film's failure to launch, bizarre choices in adaptation, the confusing creative choices made to fit this into the 2010s YA dystopian film boom, the stock footage, and of course, the Taylor Swift of it all.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

Cinder | "Chekov’s Foot"
"There ain’t no pumpkin carriage."Of all the books left on our list, Cinder by Marissa Meyer (2012) was by far the most requested by listeners. We dive into the fantastical, dystopian world of the Lunar Chronicles with its first installment, a Cinderella retelling with a sci-fi twist. This book has everything: cyborgs, androids, fairytale romance, a wicked stepmother, the plague, classic twists, heartbreaking turns of events, a colony of people on the moon, and lil diva foot come off. We hope it was worth the wait!Book trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXrMAFGWyuENote: Cinder’s surname in the book is Linh with an H, which is sometimes a surname but much more common as a first name in Vietnam.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

Shadow and Bone | "Chosen One of Sorts"
"The Darkling is written, like, really hotly."Rereading the Revolution has entered the Grishaverse. We finally read Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone (2012)!

Book 5 in the series, The Crown, follows the second half of Princess Eadlyn's Selection. Will she bring democracy to her country? Will she find love with one of her suitors?

They Both Die at the End | "YOLO Swag"
"The power of Malec."Happy Pride Month! This year, our Patrons chose to celebrate by reading They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera (2017). If you were on BookTok in 2020, you're probably familiar with this speculative fiction story of two boys who receive a call from Death-Cast notifying them that they have less than 24 hours to live. We follow Mateo and Rufus through September 5, 2017, which was a great day...for being sad.Along with a recap, we talk about Silvera's nontraditional journey to authorship, his very familiar inspirations, and the television adaptation. Give us Bad Bunny as Howie Maldonado, Netflix, PLEASE!Rufus' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rufusonpluto/Support the Trevor Project with RTR Merch! https://www.bonfire.com/rereading-the-revolution-pride/ Hosted on Acast.
