Episode 33 - Hogwarts Headache: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Sometimes, the solution only makes things worse. Stevie Bell discovered this after a few months at Ellingham Academy. Ellie has vanished, David is in crisis and Truly Devious is still at large 80 years later. Will Stevie be able to solve this one? This week, we read Maureen Johnson’s ‘The Vanishing Stair’!

This week, the hosts take on Maureen Johnson's Truly Devious! 80 years ago, tragedy came to Ellingham Academy. Now, young Stevie Bell seems to be in the middle of tragedy’s return! When learning is a game, the consequences can be deadly! #thisislit #litliteraturepodcast #trulydevious #murdermystery

Freezing and temps and blackouts can’t stop us! (Just delay) Everyone loves a good villain, but things can get complicated when your brother is the city’s hero, your dad’s the mayor and you’re in a cursed high school musical. This week we read ‘The Supervillain and Me’ by Danielle Banas.

The course of true love never did run smooth. No one knows this better than Patroclus. Then again, loving a demigod was never easy. This week, Liz gets emotionally destroyed by ‘Song of Achilles’ by Madeline Miller. 

Happy New Year? As we move forward with 2021 and Season 4 of TIL – no, we can’t believe it either- we’re going to make a few changes. Hopefully, all for the better.

Hopefully, everything gets better.

Happy New Year. Since the world is in need of a fresh start, let’s all move to Narnia. There is the pesky problem with that witch and cursed eternal winter, but every place has its drawbacks. Today, the hosts discuss CS Lewis’ classic ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’.

This holiday season we all need a few little acts of kindness to hold the darkness at bay. This week, we read the compilation of letters JRR Tolkien wrote to his children as Father Christmas.

Case and Elizabeth take a look back and name their top 3 new reads of 2020! We also reveal our first ever Book Of The Year!

Being a transgender teenager is hard. It’s even harder when Yadriel comes VERY traditional family with magical necromancer powers and accidentally summons a ghost who won’t leave. It’s worse when he doesn’t want him too. Happy Halloween! Time for some Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas

Home renovations are stressful, especially when the landscaper has a stalker & the architect and organizer are ex's. Oh, and let's not forget the 100 year old unsolved murder and the angry ghosts left behind. Today, Liz indulges in 'Better Homes and Hauntings' by Molly Harper.
