This week, Jake and Carrie suffer in exquisite ecstasy as they discuss 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Chapter 8: The Burial'. Is Sabrina playing 'The Secret of Monkey Island' poorly? Is bringing back the dead, by and large, a no-no? Can an episode of TV centered on a deadly mining disaster also be super horny? Listen to the episode to find out!

Who have two thumbs and an opinion about Stephanie Perkins's new YA horror novel, 'The Woods Are Always Watching'? Jake and Carrie do! Welcome to a new HOT TAKE SPECIAL, in which Jake speculates that Jon Arbuckle (of Garfield fame)'s old roommate was a serial killer, and Carrie points out a downside to stickshifts that many might overlook.

Another year, another episode of Sabrina!

For this episode, Carrie and Jake read 'Darius the Great is Not Okay' by Adib Khorram. Carrie does some Google Maps research, Jake mentions Puppetry of the Penis, and they have a brief discussion of teasplaining, while completely failing to talk about truck nuts, alas. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! This episode features a clip from the early Lonely Island song 'The Heist', and a couple of brief excerpts from the 'Darius the Great is Not OK' audiobook, narrated by Michael Levi Harris.

Hi again all! Welome back to Love YA Like Crazy, where, this episode, we're talking about ... a BOOK??? (It's true!) Specifically, 'A Song Below Water' by Bethany C. Morrow. This episode was recorded on August 20 -- sorry for the delay in getting to you! But this is being released the day before the 2020 US election, and I imagine that a lot of you are kind of stressed, so, for now, just put in your earbuds and think back to that far-off yesteryear of ten and a half weeks ago, when, uh ... Ah, hell, everything still sucked, didn't it? Never mind. But the book has a lot of things to talk about, and we hope you enjoy the discussion!

Welcome to Love YA Like Crazy! You're listening to a special episode recorded by one of the two hosts, Jacob Haller, while he was at PodX in Nashville. This is the last episode in the series, which I think goes out on a high note! For this one, Jake talked to Vox Media's Allegra Frank, who is also a cohost of 'The Polygon Show', about Andrew Clements's 'Things Not Seen', and we were also joined by past guest Simone de Rochefort, which was very excellent! Note that the discussion includes spoilers for 'Things Not Seen', as well as Clements's 'Frindle' and Libba Bray's 'Beauty Queens', and the final episode of Game of Thrones. As mentioned in this discussion, Libba Bray wrote an article about the experience of trying to bring 'Beauty Queens' to the big screen. You can find it on ew.com. The episode contains a brief clip from The Polygon Show's bonus episode about the Game of Thrones finale, in which a couple of the podcast's cohosts, Ashley Oh and Simone de Rochefort, improvise a missing scene from the show. If you enjoy it, I recommend listening to the rest of the show, and other episodes of the Polygon Show in general!

For this episode, Carrie and Jake talk about one of Carrie's favorite books: A.S. King's 'Everybody Sees The Ants'. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! We also talk about being taken to see the Vagina Monologues by your knitting group, plus the nostril size of horses, and one weird screenwriting trick that is guaranteed to get Jake to cry during the first five minutes of a movie. There's also some discussion of bullying, sexual assault, and suicide, which may be a bit intense in parts, so be aware of that. In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Plain Kate' by Erin Bow.

Jake recently went to the PodX podcasting conference in Nashville, and talked to some of the podcasters there about YA books, or books that were important to them when they were young. Starting tomorrow, and continuing every week until we run out of interviews, we'll be posting these in the feed. This episode gives you a little sneak peek at these discussions.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss 'Seventeenth Summer' by Maureen Daly, a 1942 novel considered by some the first YA novel. The protagonist of the book is fairly innocent and chaste, but our discussion of the book is neither. (I don't know, that's just how it turned out!) We also talk about em dashes and exclamation points. Our discussion includes spoilers, so you may wish to read the book before listening. Before you do that, though, we recommend checking out Daly's short story 'Sixteen', which was written the year before Seventeenth Summer, won an O. Henry Award, and has a similar flavor. It is included in various short story collections, and I also found a copy at http://racheli.tripod.com/winter/sixteen.html . In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Akata Witch' by Nnedi Okorafor, as recommended by Hayden of the They See Me Rollin podcast.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake talk about 'Hole in the Middle' by Kendra Fortmeyer, which was released in hardcover and ebook editions today! As always, spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening. Also, note that there's a fair amount of swearing. In the course of our discussion, we talk about metaphorical whatnots, fanfic, and banging, and our favorite gameshow, 'How Much The Worst Is Archie?', makes an unexpected return. Our thanks to Kendra Fortmeyer, and to Monica White of Soho Teen, for getting us pre-release copies of the book. In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Seventeenth Summer' by Maureen Daly, which is sometimes referred to as the first young adult novel.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss Britta Lundin's debut novel 'Ship It'. They also talk about experiences at conventions, their (fairly minor) encounters with fanfic, the weird pornographic banner that Jake's downstairs neighbors hung up on their porch, movies based on video games, and all manner of other things. Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! Both hosts are pretty ignorant about fanfic, so if you're interested in learning about it, or are curious about some of the things we mentioned in the episode, here are some links: The OTPodcast, a podcast by fanfic writers and readers about issues in fanfic -- the episode 'RPF: When Fanfiction Gets Real' is about 'real person fanfic' and may be of particular interest 'No Reservations: Narnia', in which Anthony Bourdain goes to Narnia '"No Reservations: Narnia," a Triumph of Anthony Bourdain Fan Fiction', a New Yorker article about the above work of fanfic and Bourdain's own reaction to it Sam Syke's 'Stages of a Toxic Fandom The 2013 incident where Jensen Ackles (who plays Dean Winchester in the the TV series 'Supernatural') was asked a question by a bisexual woman at a convention Q&A The woman who asked the question provided her own description and analysis of the incident Britta Lundin's list of characters for 'Ship It', back when she was writing the first draft in 2015 In the next episode, we'll be discussing 'Seventeenth Summer' by Maureen Daly, which is sometimes referred to as the first young adult novel.

For this episode, Jake flew to North Carolina so that he and Carrie could discuss 'The Hazel Wood' by Melissa Albert in person. Thanks to Jody [REDACTED] for recommending it, and to Alex [REDACTED] for her recommendation as well! We really appreciate you getting in touch with your suggestions. Also in this episode, Carrie decides against moving to Narnia, Jake analysis morality via Dungeons & Dragons, and we embrace ambiguity -- or do we? (Yes.) Spoilers abound, so we recommend reading the book before listening! Jake mentions an episode of the Please Don't Send Me Into Outer Space podcast. It's episode 128, 'Battle for the Stars'. Also mentioned: Lifemark and They See Me Rollin. Check 'em out! In the next episode, we'll be discussing Ship It by Britta Lundin.

For this episode, Carrie and Jake discuss Rebecca Stead's 2009 young adult novel, 'When You Reach Me'. They also experience some major high school flashbacks and talk about Carrie's new cat. We both really liked the book, and we recommend you read it before listening to the podcast, which contains our usual mix of spoilers and swearing! At one point in the discussion, Jake references a Mitchell and Webb comedy sketch, which you can see online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn1VxaMEjRU .
