This week Meg and I talk about The School of Fear by Gitty Daneshvari. I was convinced that Meg was pronouncing that wrong, but that just goes to show what I know.

This week Meg and I discuss a book that is NOT by Rick Riordan. Instead we dive into the mysterious world of Lemony Snicket’s new series All the Wrong Questions. The first book in the series, Who Could that be At this Hour?, is good fun. The illustrations are pretty great, too.

In this episode we discuss what seems like our one millionth Rick Riordan novel. The Throne of Fire is the second book in the Kane Chronicles series – but who can keep up. We may have run out of things to discuss about Rick Riordan books as this is our silliest episode by far.

Meg and I are talking about Louis Sachar’s Holes. The book won the Newberry Award and the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. Those are the fancy book awards that I can’t remember in the podcast. We also watched the movie last night, which was fairly true to the novel with a screenplay written by Sachar. Holes has also been selected as this year’s read for the On the Same Page community reading program for Atlanta kids. Sachar will be coming to town to give a special reading and signing for kids on December 7th.

On this week’s episode, Meg and I discuss Amulet:The Stonekeeper by Kazu Kibuishi. We remembered it finding out about the book from this list on Wired, but apparently we were mistaken. It was definitely on a list though. Somewhere. We have also read Kibuishi’s Copper, which we also really liked.

We took a week off to celebrate the end of the school year, and now we’re back with the biggest episode of Book Time with Meg yet. This is our 10th episode, which we’re very excited about. We have brand new intro theme music via Meg and Garage Band. There is a military jet flyover in the middle of our podcast. (Listen for it. It’s not easy to miss.) And…AND we are proud to announce that we have set up a separate web site to house all of the podcasts. It’s called Book Time with Meg and you can find it here. It’s a work in progress. We’ll still post here, too, but now Meg’s friends can listen in on her own site without having to read about Fifty Shades of Grey, etc.
Oh, and the book…this week it’s Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling
