Sometimes, the solution only makes things worse. Stevie Bell discovered this after a few months at Ellingham Academy.

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.

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.
Dungeons, Dragons, Resurrections and Anime References, everything we look for in a book. Wonderland is in the balance in the the second #Nightmareverse novel by @ElleonWords A Dream so Dark. Will Alice be able to stop the Black Knight, rescue her friends, and save Hatta? Well, she has to get un-grounded first.

Magic cannot be contained with simple ink and paper. It takes something a little more than that, and the spells within can be chatty. The question is, does one listen to what they have to say? Today we discuss ‘Sorcery of Thorns’ by Margaret Rogerson.
Humans create monsters to make their monstrosities easier to deal with. Because then at least they aren’t a monster. Monsters aren’t always what you think, and the monsters better run because the Witcher is here. This week we discuss ‘The Last Wish’ by Andrzej Sapkowski.
They have met before. Wait, no they haven't, or time isn't linear. Not for them. Can romance blossom when literal time tears them apart? This week we discuss 'The Time Traveler's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger. Minor Trigger warning: Pedophilia discussion
Time has very little meaning these days. Is time a straight line, or a big ball of timey-wimey stuff? What if, just what if, time and space could be bent? This week we discuss 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle
The weather is warm. The sun is hot. The travel itch needs to be scratched. Too bad we are all stuck at home. This week the hosts discuss ‘On the Road’ by Jack Kerouac. #thisislit #litliteraturepodcast #itsatwisttop
