EP138 Our Manifesto Is More Character Development [The Sticky Note Manifesto of Aisha Agarwal by Ambika Vohra]

Today we discussed a coming-of-age novel called The Sticky Note Manifesto of Aisha Agarwal by Ambika Vohra. This novel, was something that reminded us of our teenage years and also the awkward times that came with being a teenager. We really hope you enjoy this episode!About The Novel:
Aisha who is having  a hard time figuring out how to answer the Standford essay question, “how have you gotten out of your comfort zone?”
The thing is Aisha hasn’t, she hasn’t gone to any parties or even had her first kiss. But when her long-time crush, Brian asks her to dance. She thinks that her fate is changing. That is until Brian stands her up. As if on cue, a banged-up car pulls up to the dance, and a guy her age apologizes for being late to pick her up. Aisha doesn’t know what he is talking about but is sick of not taking chances so she gets into this stranger's car. To Aisha’s relief, seventeen-year-old Quentin isn’t a kidnapper but failing math. So they strike a deal if Aisha helps Quentin pass math, he will help push her out of her comfort zone. Except what happens when Aisha’s sticky note manifesto is taken off, but she falls for the wrong guy, hurts her best friend, and still can’t finish her essay. Victory feels far from reach. Is winning worth it if you loose yourself in the processCheck Out The Rest Of Our Socials Here!

About The Novel:
In the country called One, dollmakers are vital members of the community. An artisan’s doll is the height of society’s accomplishments, while a guard’s doll is the only thing standing between the people of One and the vicious, cobbled monstrosities that will tear apart any structure—living or dead, inanimate or otherwise—to add to their horde.Apprentice Shean of Pearl is a brilliant dollmaker. With her clever dolls, she intends to outsmart and destroy the Shod, once and for all—a destiny she’s worked her whole life toward accomplishing. But when the time comes for her dolls to be licensed, she’s told her work is too beautiful and delicate to fight. A statement that wounds and infuriates her; the Shod killed everyone she loved. How could her fate be anything but fighting them?In an attempt to help her see a new path for herself, Shean’s mentor sends her on a journey to the remote village called Web, urging her to glean some wisdom from Ikiisa, a reclusive and well-respected guard dollmaker. But Shean has another if she can convince the village of Web of her talents, the Licensor Guild will have to reconsider and grant her a guard’s license. And what better way to convince them than challenging Ikiisa and instating herself as the official dollmaker of Web?

EP135 Pick A Storyline! [Death at Morning House by Maureen Johnson]

If that sounds interesting, then you are going to love the novel that we are going to be talking about today, which is called Death At Morning House by Maureen Johnson!About The Novel:The fire wasn’t Marlowe Wexler’s fault. Dates should be hot, but not hot enough to warrant literal firefighters. Akilah, the girl Marlowe has been in love with for years, will never go out with her again. No one dates an accidental arsonist.With her house-sitting career up in flames, it seems the universe owes Marlowe a new summer job, and that’s how she ends up at Morning House, a mansion built on an island in the 1920s and abandoned shortly thereafter. It’s easy enough, giving tours. Low risk of fire. High chance of getting bored talking about stained glass and nut cutlets and Prohibition.Oh, and the deaths. Did anyone mention the deaths?

Summary:
The New York Times bestselling author of All the Stars and Teeth brings to life a highly romantic, Gothic-infused world of wealth, desire, and betrayal. ​Orphaned as a baby, nineteen-year-old Signa has been raised by a string of guardians, each one more interested in her wealth than her well-being—and each has met an untimely end. Her remaining relatives are the elusive Hawthornes, an eccentric family living at Thorn Grove, an estate both glittering and gloomy. Its patriarch mourns his late wife through wild parties, while his son grapples for control of the family’s waning reputation, and his daughter suffers from a mysterious illness. But when their mother’s restless spirit appears claiming she was poisoned, Signa realizes that the family she depends on could be in grave danger and enlists the help of a surly stable boy to hunt down the killer. However, Signa’s best chance of uncovering the murderer is an alliance with Death himself, a fascinating, dangerous shadow who has never been far from her side. Though he’s made her life a living hell, Death shows Signa that their growing connection may be more powerful—and more irresistible—than she ever dared imagine.
