It is the Year of Hattie in Sarah MacLean’s Brazen and the Beast!
Hattie wanted to begin her nine and twentieth year with her ruination, however Savior Whittington (aka Beast) had to be disposed of from her carriage first.
From his first kiss with Hattie, Beast was ruined and, after little tuck-and-roll, he interrupted the plans of the too perfect a lady for him. Hattie’s ruination had to take a rain check, but it would be rectified with someone too perfect (of preference) for her.
In the meantime, Hattie was working towards inheriting her father’s shipping business, while Beast did what he had to do to keep her safe from his brother’s vengeance. Beast and Hattie may have betrayed or blackmailed each other, yet it was clear that they would fight to keep each other safe no matter what. Join us as we discuss a brazen boss lady and a bespectacled beast.
On this week’s episode we’re talking about Loki, A Touch of Jen by Beth Morgan, The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas, Drew Monson’s return to the internet, the never ending saga between Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein, and more!

As far as transformational books written for young readers go, Lois Lowry’s Number the Stars certainly tops the list. On Episode 159, Alli and her guest explore the many reasons why this 1990 Newbery Medal winner has made such major impact on so many lives, as well as the reasons its been dubbed a key part of Holocaust education for kids.
