BSG #75: Homewritten / The Weight of Blood

This holiday season, the Book Squad is heading to prom! Join us and special guests Scott and Amber as we discuss Tiffany D. Jackson's "The Weight of Blood." Yes, this is a retelling of Stephen King's "Carrie," and yes, we discuss the stories' similarities and differences. We also chat about what it was like going to high school in Georgia. And of course, we talk about racism, sexism, witchiness, creepy dads, and what it means when a Goodreads review seems "homewritten." Did you read "The Weight of Blood"? What are your thoughts? Be sure to send us some feedback at [email protected] and we'll read it on our next bookpisode. Stay tuned for our next episode: the highly anticipated hatepisode on Colleen Hoover's "It Ends With Us," featuring the return of Susan! And after that, read along for our next bookpisode, which will be on "Cult Classic" by Sloane Crosley.
