“Sponsored by Oreo” | Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
“The tilt a whirl…the most romantic ride at the carnival.”Happy Pride! We’re celebrating by reading one of the most popular coming-out stories not only of the 2010s, but maybe ever? It’s Becky Albertalli’s 2015 debut novel, Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda. If that title’s not ringing any bells for you, this is the book that would go on to become the 2018 film Love, Simon. Daphne and Kellie talk all things teen romance, theater kid culture, and our own high school experiences as we dive into Simon’s sweet and salty love story.Becky Albertalli’s Medium post: https://medium.com/@rebecca.albertalli/i-know-im-late-9b31de339c62Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes details!

"Would You Still Love Me If I Was a Worm?" | The Host Part 2
"Their calling is to go work in the Cheeto factory."We're back with our second episode on The Host by Stephenie Meyer (2008)! Kellie and Daphne pick up from that dramatic Walter cliffhanger to take on the love square, body swaps, and low-stakes heists of the back half of the book, and I accidentally say "conclave" instead of "enclave" because we recorded this during new pope week!The Host playlist (not annotated): https://stepheniemeyer.com/the-books/the-host/the-host-playlist/The Host bonus chapter is very hard to find.

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.Follow us on social media at @rereadingtherevolution for updates, and email us at rereadingtherevolution@gmail.com with any comments or episode suggestions!
