​Thanks for joining us for our discussion of the film adaptation of Nicola Yoon's The Sun Is Also a Star! We are big fans of Nicola Yoon's work (check out episode 3, when we discussed her book Everything, Everything), so we eagerly anticipated this movie . . . and it's no surprise that we have A LOT of feelings.

Take a listen, and then let us know what you thought about this book and film on social media, where you can find us @unabridgedpod.

​In this #unabridgedshort episode, we confess our bookworm problems (with a side of literary sins). These bookworm problems aren't unique to us. Are they? (Please say no!)

In this Unabridged Bonus episode, we share our experience with the Gus Bus, a mobile literacy program that also offers this after-school component. We met with two groups, K-2 and 3-5, to talk a little bit about podcasting, share some favorite children's books, and get some great recommendations from the Gus Bus students. 

We loved hearing the students' excitement as they learned about Unabridged, quizzed us about our level of fame, and expressed great enthusiasm about books and reading. To learn more about the Gus Bus program, check out their website.

​In this Unabridged Podcast episode, the Unabridged team had an amazing opportunity to interview author and podcaster of The Brit Lit Podcast Claire Handscombe about her book Unscripted. Claire describes her debut novel as a "smart beach read."

​Sara, Jen, and Ashley all read Unscripted and were delighted to have an opportunity to discuss the work, her love of The West Wing, and writing in general, with Claire. 

​In this #unabridgedshort episode, we recommend books that made us cry--we're talking ugly tears!--but are worth the sorrow that accompanies them. These are favorite books that made us feel all the things. Want a cathartic experience? Pick up one of these brilliantly evocative novels.

We also invite you to share some of your favorite tear jerkers. What books have made you cry but been worth it? Let us know @unabridgedpod!

​Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project is our Unabridged Book Club pick this month. In The Rosie Project, professor Don Tillman has embarked on a mission -- his plan is to find a suitable life partner. He decides to create an extensive questionnaire for female candidates to complete and dubs the quest “The Wife Project.” Along comes Rosie Jarman, who is far from suitable according to the questionnaire. However, she and Don get swept up in another joint project, the quest to find her biological father. Drama ensues.
