We've been talking about this since our very first episode—and we've finally done it!

This reading is for fun and is not monetized. It's also not a sponsorship and has no ties to Netflix. We're just a group of people having fun and reading the script from a show we love! This episode was modified somewhat for this reading. Modifications were made by Rachel Cash of The Bookends Pod. Special shoutout to whoever uploaded the episode's transcript to transcripts.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_Six_E_Pluribus_Unum—it helped Rachel's editing process immensely!** Many thanks to our lovely cast!

We love Halloween and are wishing you the spookiest (within your spooky limitations) Halloween! Next week is episode 10 and it will be the BIGGEST thing we've ever done!

In our longest episode yet, Rachel and Jasmine read some of our old writing and compare it to some of the newest things we've written.    Fairley has decided to take a step back with the podcast to focus on her health and happiness. We (Rachel and Jasmine) support her fully and will welcome her back joyfully when she is ready. She will continue to keep in touch with the show and might jump on every so often when she has time.    As always, you can find us elsewhere on the internet @thebookendspod and don't forget to share your writing prompt submissions with us on Twitter with #thebookendspod

We are talking all things fantasy! As YA fans, we couldn't hold off any longer in doing an episode dedicated to our favorite fantasy books (and our own writing experience). New episodes every Friday! @thebookendspod on all socials!

We started with music and poetry but would up talking a lot about traveling and places we hope to see. It's an interesting episode, and at least half of it is on-topic. Find our socials @thebookendspod everywhere!

This week we talk a lot about some classic lit that we've read, and our school experiences with them, as well as our early teenage reads that might not hold up all that well (Twilight included!).

We started out in a nice place--remembering our childhood--and then, for some reason, we talk a lot about horror. Not sure what we were thinking there. Either way, we hope you enjoy this weird episode and we will see you again next Friday! Find us elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/TheBookendsPod
