Episode 13!  We're finally doing The Book Thief, by Marcus Zusak.  Brilliant book...  And today we have a new co-host joining us.

Featuring music from AJ and the Frozen Tundra Blues Band

Recorded at Azkatraz, the HPEF conference, in San Francisco with guest hosts Nicole and Ally!  It was really fun to record this.  We discuss Harry Potter's affect on the YA market at large.

This post is unedited - I just posted it up as is... so consider yourself warned. heh.

Be sure to check out the website for my essay on Severus Snape which was almost presented as part of a panel this past weekend.

Ragu and I discuss New Moon by Stephenie Meyer.

I think it actually doesn't go all chipmunky on us streaming this time.  Yay.

Looking for submissions for a new "segment" to the show.  Send me your short stories!

:)

FYI: we ARE aware of the issue with the streaming...  we sound like chipmunks when you stream on IE.  Dunno why...  But if you download and listen, it's not like that.  Plus, it's kinda funny to hear Ragu as a chipmunk...

Ragu and I discuss the first book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.  And the sound quality isn't too bad this time.  We can actually hear Ragu's dulcet tones.

Don't forget to send us emails at yalitreview@gmail.com.  We're taking comments on any of the Twilight books.  You can also leave us a voicemail on Skype.  Our handle there is ya.lit.review.  You can also visit the website at http://yalitreview.googlepages.com.

I just got back from Harry Potter Portus 2008 in Dallas.  This is all about my good, good times there.

Yay Harry Potter!  Yay geeks!

I wax on, wax off all about one of my favourite books.  And sometimes Ragu says stuff, too...

A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle

Hello folks!

Sorry about the poor sound quality.  I'm working on it.  I tried to upload a different way, but it appears that didn't help, either.  I'll get it right eventually.

Ragu and I talk about news.  Fun and exciting!
