| Hollywood, Ending | "His Saddest and Happiest Book" | 09 Oct 2026 | 01:04:40 | |
"Thank you for changing my life…again." It’s a very unique day in Rereading the Revolution history. We read a book for adults! John Green’s debut adult novel and first fiction book in nine years, Hollywood, Ending, follows two young actors as they navigate modern fame and their relationship with each other. In this episode, we briefly recap the plot and discuss our thoughts about this more mature work from Green in-depth.

| Divergent Revisited | "The D-Word" | 25 Sep 2026 | 01:31:02 | |
“I feel like I could probably go on a zip line somewhere else.” You read that right. We read Divergent...again. In anticipation of the release of Veronica Roth's new reimagining of the Divergent series, The Sixth Faction, we're going back to where it all started both for her and for us. Daphne, Kellie, and special guest Amber (@seekingdystopia) give the book a more thorough recap, share some new analyses, and posit lots of theories for the new book.

| City of Glass Pt. 2 | "A Single Dad Who is Two Dads" (SNEAK PEEK) | 18 Sep 2026 | 00:02:41 | |
UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON OR PURCHASING IT AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION "I still do not care if Clary or Jace live or die." We did it, folks. We made it to the end of the first half of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, one of our most ambitious undertakings yet. Daphne and Kellie answer all of your burning questions in this City of Glass recap, ship our favorite couples, see a tiny bit of battle, and finally get to the bottom of who is related to whom.

| Gone Pt. 2 | "Whip Arm" | 28 Aug 2026 | 00:56:00 | |
"It has kind of changed my life.." Because one episode was not enough to cover this behemoth of a children's novel, we're back to recap the second half of Michael Grant's Gone (2008). We hope the first half wasn't too weird for you, because we're just getting started with this sci-fi tale described by so many critics as Lord of the Flies meets Stephen King...but with superpowers. The critics didn't even mention the talking wolves or The Darkness. Can you imagine where the plot will go in the next five books of this series? We try to do just that in this episode.

| City of Glass Pt. 1 | "My Sister, My Blood" (SNEAK PEEK) | 21 Aug 2026 | 00:05:04 | |
UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION "Clary, as usual, runs away crying." We’re continuing to tear through The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, and City of Glass (2009) is too monumental to contain to one episode. We take on the first half of the epic finale (sort of), visiting Idris for the first time, navigating a series of complicated relationships, being terrified by Valentine's increasing evil powers, and making predictions about the book's ending. Hilarity ensues. Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| Gone Pt. 1 | "What Is Going On?" | 14 Aug 2026 | 01:03:41 | |
"This is like, the least predictable book I’ve ever read in my life." An instant classic is incoming, because we're tackling Michael Grant's Gone (2008), one of the silliest and strangest books we've ever read. It's too much for one episode, so we broke this one into two mind-boggling parts. Kellie and Daphne discuss Grant's checkered legacy, our listeners' memories of this series, and of course, everything that goes down in the FAYZ. It's one of the most fun times we've ever had while podcasting.

| Fallen | "Also, I'm Immortal" | 31 Jul 2026 | 01:13:00 | |
"It’s textbook Rereading the Revolution." Our listeners have been clamoring for us to read Fallen (Lauren Kate, 2009) since our infamous Hush, Hush episode came out. Daphne and Kellie are joined by special guest Thya Leger to take on more fallen angels posing as high schoolers and bravely ask the question of what's worse--the impending Biblical apocalypse or getting meatloaf in smashed your hair as a vegetarian?

| Paper Towns | "I’m a Girl and I’m Not Okay" | 17 Jul 2026 | 01:07:20 | |
“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.

It's back. It's bigger. It's better. It's bloodier. The game has changed. Dungeons & Dystopia, our YA book-themed Dungeons & Dragons actual play series has returned! This time, Dungeonmaster Colin is taking us through The Sovereign Trials in a game inspired by the world of The Hunger Games. In this episode, you'll meet the tributes and follow them through the high-stakes process of preparing for the Trials. Will our players band together or become instant enemies? How will they perform in their skills evaluations? And are they ready to do what it takes to survive? New episodes will drop on the third Wednesday of each month. We hope you enjoy it!

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.

| Cinder | "Chekov’s Foot" | 03 Jul 2026 | 01:01:14 | |
"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=pXrMAFGWyuE Note: 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.

UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION Tyra Banks' 2011 epic Modelland is taking the internet by storm, so we're here to tell you everything you need to know. We may be recapping the recaps, but it's still a seriously long story. This Patreon-exclusive special episode has everything: a recap, reality TV discussion, the bumpy history of Modelland, and a phone call to Tyra gone wrong (it went SO much longer in real life, you have no idea). Did she leave us a mysterious message or did we almost get scammed? Find out now: https://www.patreon.com/RereadingtheRevolution/posts/we-did-not-tyra-161915128/ Hosted on Acast.

| Shadow and Bone | "Chosen One of Sorts" | 19 Jun 2026 | 01:15:28 | |
"The Darkling is written, like, really hotly." Rereading the Revolution has entered the Grishaverse. We finally read Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone (2012)! Kellie and Daphne recap the tsarpunk fantasy novel that spawned some of the most beloved YA books of all time, a Netflix show, and a ship that's almost as diabolical as its name.

UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION "She did a little bit of writing." It's the end of an era, both for us and the people of Illéa. The patrons voted for us to read a Selection sequel for the final time (unless Kiera Cass decides to write more...). 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? Will this book perhaps be surprisingly appropriate for Pride Month? Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast.

| They Both Die at the End | "YOLO Swag" | 05 Jun 2026 | 01:08:53 | |
"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!

| I Am Number Four | "Evil Man Vibes" | 22 May 2026 | 01:13:19 | |
"I believe that you are an alien and also I love you." We had our Patrons vote on a selection of our most-requested dystopian and sci-fi books, and I Am Number Four (2010) by Pittacus Lore (allegedly...) won by a landslide. It's your typical fish-out-of-water story about the new boy in town trying his best to fit in and survive the semester with the help of the prettiest girl in school, an oddball best friend, and an unusually smart dog. But this teenager has a big secret...he's an alien. As it turns out, John wasn't the only one with something to hide. Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content!

UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION "Those two henchmen had more chemistry between them than any other characters." Many of very same people who anxiously awaited this movie in 2013 have anxiously awaited this episode thirteen years later. Hopefully that's the only thing they have in common. We're joined once again by Mara and Katie to discuss the City of Bones film adaptation. We'll cover the cast (in extreme details), the critical response, and the film's legacy among fans.

| New Moon Pt. 2 | "We Are All Team Mike" | 08 May 2026 | 01:14:40 | |
"One thing about our Bella is that she loves to give up." Kellie, Daphne, and special guest Hannah Lisa Lohr are back with the second half (some would even say the exciting half) of Stephenie Meyer's New Moon (2009)! We pick up where we left off to follow Bella as she learns Jacob’s secret, engages in some more dangerous recreational activities, and makes some new friends on her big trip to Italy. Will Edward and Bella be reunited? Plus, we discuss the real Quileute Tribe's history and culture in more detail.

| New Moon Pt. 1 | "Bring Back My Cullens" | 24 Apr 2026 | 01:10:11 | |
“Stephenie Meyer almost never hits for me. But when she does hit, it’s…like transcendental.” We’ve made you wait long enough for us to read New Moon (2009), hopefully we made it worthwhile by coming back with two episodes on the second book in the Twilight series. Our resident Twilight expert, Hannah Lisa Lohr, is back for both! Whether you love or hate Stephenie Meyer’s vampire romance novels, their cultural impact is undeniable. And this one has werewolves.

UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION "Drama, right from the beginning." To no one's surprise, City of Ashes (2009), book two in Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, swept our latest Patreon poll. If you thought the first installment was wild, just wait until you hear what this one has in store. There's a vampire and werewolf feud straight out of Twilight, faeries, demons, magical experiments, tons of family drama, and forbidden love.

We've reached the epic conclusion of our three-part Dusk real-play D&D series! This episode sees our crew of vampires, werewolves, and one extraordinarily normal girl crashing a very meta interdimensional story convention and taking on a heroic final battle. We're met with several familiar faces, including a young author who bears a slight resemblance to (but definitely isn't) someone you may have heard of. Will this motley crew of Spoons residents save Hammy--and Mirabel's grade--in time? Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast.

| Unwind | "Our Most Requested Episode" | 10 Apr 2026 | 01:28:56 | |
"I mean, when you're trapped in a box in the dark with three other boys, what else are you gonna talk about?" After two years of you asking for it, we finally took on Neal Shusterman's beloved and disturbing 2007 dystopian novel, Unwind. Kellie and Daphne are joined by longtime Unwind fan and our good friend, Lin, to discuss the book's real-life inspirations, political resonance, and shocking, frenetic plot. This book tackles several complex and emotionally charged issues alongside your typical YA hijinks and teenage drama, and we try to strike that balance in this episode as well.

"In the crank club, we all fam." It's been a while since we've done one of these! Kellie and Daphne are rejoined by our friend and fellow Maze Runner reader Colin to discuss all three of Wes Ball's Maze Runner movies. Are they good? Are they bad? Do they defy categorization? We reveal the behind-the-scenes stories of how these movies were made, then take on the epic action sequences, flawless casting, extremely romantic moments, and just how far the film series strays from the books.

In this episode, Kellie and Daphne cover Victoria Aveyard's fantasy dystopian novel, Red Queen, where the haves and have-nots are not only divided by wealth, but by supernatural abilities. We discuss the book's many influences, its place in the YA scene, the controversial twist ending (and the ending that could have been), and those plagiarism rumors you may have heard about.

Kellie and Daphne lead the bumpy journey through this shocking, chaotic, and sometimes heartfelt time-loop novel about a teenage girl reliving the last day of her life and maybe finding redemption. We share some of our own high school experiences and a lot of strong opinions along the way. Try not to judge. Remember that we're the same, you and me.

| Legend | "Everyone is Attractive" | 05 Dec 2025 | 01:19:26 | |
"It’s a hot family." You've asked for it...and asked and asked for it. Happy holidays; the wait is FINALLY over! We thought that Marie Lu's Legend (2011) was the perfect choice for our final book episode of the year. Kellie and Daphne recap the beloved plague/climate disaster dystopian romance and talk dual POVs, the failed road to adaptation, and lots of K-I-S-S-I-N-G. Submit your questions for our next episode here! https://forms.gle/5gfpVJjQyqDaVc2J9 Note: This book was purchased at auction in July 2010 and published in November 2011.

UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION “Seventy-three chapters don’t write themselves!" We’re officially wrapping up the Maze Runner trilogy with James Dashner’s The Death Cure. Colin’s back, and I think you all know what to expect at this point. Kellie, Daphne, and Colin discuss the unrelenting bleakness of the series, the very plausible theory that Thomas has a traumatic brain injury that’s affecting his decision-making skills, the lack of kissing, and that unresolved ending. Bonus Colin episode activity: count the number of references to Damon Lindelof shows. Follow us on social media @rereadingthe revolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast.

| Dorothy Must Die | "Wicked For Emo Girls" | 21 Nov 2025 | 01:18:38 | |
"The spirit of the Maze is always with us." With the release of Wicked: For Good upon us, we thought it was the perfect time for us to read Danielle Paige's 2014 dystopian reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Must Die! This book builds on existing IP from both L Frank Baum's books and the 1939 movie, but with enough dystopian, fantasy, and Epic Reads elements to feel like a classic Rereading the Revolution selection.

"Immediately, she’s giving off the vibe of someone who might know some spells." I hope you missed our singing! For Halloween this year, we're reading Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's Beautiful Creatures (2009). We're joined by the hilarious Bailey for part one of a double episode on the book.

UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION "The Bear took this blueprint and ran with it." Clearly our patrons wanted more vampire content for Halloween, because our bonus episode this month is on the 2014 Vampire Academy movie! We discuss the movie's tonal confusion, the cast of (mostly) YA heavy-hitters, changes from the book to the film script, and where the series went from here.

| Twilight Movie | "5 Stars: This Will Change Your Life" | 10 Oct 2025 | 01:09:53 | |
"That face card has never declined once in his life.” As promised, Catherine Hardwicke's stunning 2009 adaptation of Twilight is on our screens this week. We're joined by longtime friend and Twilight superfan Sam, and the hater police are in for a treat because it's our least critical episode of all time (and if we're being realistic, probably for all time). I'd say to take a sip every time we say the word "iconic" or talk about what a life-changing piece of cinema this is, but you would probably die. Don't worry, we still did our homework and bring in tons of behind-the-scenes details about the cast and crew, filming locations, wardrobe and makeup, and how this film made it from page to screen, but the episode more or less devolves into a quote-off by the end. The girls that get it, get it. Hold on tight, spider monkey. Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and bonus content! Hosted on Acast.

"He has been the entire male loneliness epidemic on his own." It's hoa hoa season! To celebrate, we are finally beginning one of our most anxiously-awaited series, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (2005). We're joined by OG Twihard Hannah Lisa Lohr for a deep dive into the real and fictional worlds of Forks, transcending the good/bad spectrum, the book's heavy religious influences, and teen girl culture, exchanging lots of long, yearning looks along the way.

UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON AT PATREON.COM/REREADINGTHEREVOLUTION "Let us read good books!" We just covered Shatter Me on the main feed, and our patrons wanted to keep the good times rolling with the first of Tahereh Mafi's many, many sequels, Unravel Me (2013).

| Looking for Alaska | "My #1 Opp" | 12 Sep 2025 | 01:15:06 | |
"This is not an anti-smoking book." We asked our Patrons which John Green book we should take on next, and the consensus was in resounding favor of Looking for Alaska (2005). Kellie and Daphne revisit the novel for the first time in over a decade, mourn the loss of the Hulu adaptation, quote the endlessly-reblogged lines, and reflect on how it's all aged as we try to find our way out of the labyrinth and seek our Great Perhaps.

| The Giver | "Give Me Some Pain!" | 29 Aug 2025 | 00:53:33 | |
"Is it magic? I guess!" Stay with us here--it's back to school season, so we're revisiting a true children's and young adult classic: Lois Lowry's The Giver (1993). This book may have been required reading in middle school, but it's more interesting than you might remember. In this episode, we discuss how Jonas' story echoes through the 2000s and 2010s dystopian books we usually cover on the show, its legacy of changing lives, and some of the more puzzling plot points.

"Is James Patterson the GOAT?" Our Patrons have been begging for it for ages, and it finally won our latest poll. We're taking on the original book in James Patterson's first middle grade/young adult series, Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment (2005). Kellie and Daphne are joined by special guest and one-time Maximum Ride superfan, Megan, to take on Patterson's infamous, bizarre career and his sci-fi book about mutant bird children.

"A love triangle like this only happens once in a...New Moon." We’re continuing our summer of beachy novels turned hit Amazon Prime teen shows with the motherlode: Jenny Han’s The Summer I Turned Pretty (2009). Kellie and Daphne discuss the classic story of a girl in love with two brothers, including our thoughts on the show, predictions about the series, and feeling seen by the book's many surprisingly relatable moments. Team Cam all the way. Correction: they definitely said smoothie and not milkshake at that Prime activation. Not sure if that is any more relevant to the show.
