160. In praise of Divergent and a temporary goodbye... "choo choo."

Readers, We never want books to feel like a chore or for our episodes to be an endless nitpicking critique, but we've found ourselves drifting closer to that reality. We want to return to why we started Not Another Heroine in the first place: love of reading and the desire to share that excitement with another reader. Our first episodes on Sherwood Smith's "Crown Duel," while entirely too long, were exactly that.On that note, we're taking a hiatus. All of our episodes will still be available on all platforms (except Patreon), and we'll start posting some of our back catalog that wasn't originally available on all the sites. We'll still be reading in the meantime, and when the book feels rights, we'll turn the mics back on for a new Monday episode. Thank you for sticking with us through four seasons of readings. The book recs, the encouragement, and every like, subscribe, or follow gave us so much joy. To know that we're not alone in the library, that our shelf may look like your shelf, and that our silly episode titles made you giggle too, well, that's why we're still going.Goodbye for now Readers, but we'll see you on the next page.Katie & Jordan.Books Mentioned In This EpisodeWicked, Ugly, Bad by Cassandra Gannonhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/201821045-wicked-ugly-bad?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_15Divergent by Veronica Rothegoodreads.com/search?q=divergent&ref=nav_sb_noss_l_9The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarroshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61431922-fourth-wing?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=8xcgHt8JZT&rank=1Weavingshaw by Heba al-Wasityhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/234943536-weavingshaw?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=6bShtRni2g&rank=1
