You've got to go and dig those holesssssssssIf you are 90s babies like us you may remember picking up Holes by Louis Sachar at the Scholastic Book Fair. If you are anything at all like Chelsea, you still own the original hardcover from said Book Fair. You may also remember a cutie little show called Even Stevens with an up and coming actor named Shia LaBeouf. Despite being nothing like the physical description of Stanley Yelnats, Shia was cast in the adaptation of Holes. Both the book and film are surprisingly dark...Let's talk about it while not getting bit by a Yellow Spotted Lizard.Just a heads-up - if any similarities exist between our podcast and others seem a little too close for comfort, we promise it’s purely coincidental!

They say "What Makes You Different, Makes You Dangerous". Well we say PISH POSH to that and invite you to embrace your differences in yet another post-apocalyptic series. Chelsea just CANNOT get enough. Divergent is the story of a small but mighty girl who will somehow be the catalyst to save the world. Today we invite you to take a leap of faith with us as we discuss where the movie did really well and where it took some missteps. Maybe Chelsea will even have a hot take and actually like the movie??? One thing we can all agree on, Theo James with two first names is our favorite. Homework: PersuasionInsta: thebookwatchersclubJust a heads-up - if any similarities exist between our podcast and others seem a little too close for comfort, we promise it’s purely coincidental!

The Book Watchers Club is a podcast where two besties watch books. By that we mean we dive into the differences between novels and their screen adaptations.In our FIRST EVER EPISODE we had to cover a classic: Jane Austen's beloved Pride & Prejudice. While there have been an abundance of adaptations, none stand quite as tall as the 1995 mini-series or the 2005 film. Because Ariel has read the book many many times she is our defacto expert for today's episode. Ariel will take Chelsea on a deep dive of all the changes, big and small and discuss whether they worked or not. She will paint the picture of the world of Austen and we will look on in awe and wonder. Chelsea will remain hyper-focused on the hand flex.
