This week the lovely Evelyn could not join us so we replaced her gladly with Dominic.

In This Episode:

  • Announcements of the winners of the American Library Association awards.
  • A review from Lizzi of Looking For Alaska by John Green.
  • Eragon mania! We discuss the newly announced release date and title for the next book in the Inheritance Cycle (formerly known as the Inheritance Trilogy) by Christopher Paolini and we discuss theories and hopes for the new book and the (hopefully) upcoming second movie.
  • How both Chalkzone and the Disney version of Hercules are both in Eragon (or so Dominic and Caitlyn say).
