Recs if you like The Angel Experiment...

Allow me to set the scene:

It’s 2 AM on a school night but you only have 100 pages left. You will power through. Forget the math test you have first period. This is your priority. And you must know how the book ends.

I don’t know what sort of millennial catnip these 2000s YA authors put in these books, but let me tell you, my “baby millennial” self was addicted.

Pagebound Millennials: what YA were you reading?

When the pursuit of knowledge crosses the line into moral depravity.

Books of the millennial reader's childhood (not just scholastic book fair). Sticking with chapter books, and not picture books :) All books pre-2005 Taking recs!

Based on my favorite podcast Rereading the Revolution. The hosts reread and recap popular 2000s-2010s novels from Divergent to Looking for Alaska.

The list is in order of oldest episodes to most recent. I will try and update when new episodes drop.

So take a walk down memory lane with these nostalgic picks, or find something new that sparks your inner teenager! Please give the podcast a listen, I think they’re a great bookish podcast to support

The first book in a series.

syllabus for the eager scholars of rereading the revolution aka the books that shaped teenagers from 2005 to 2015 (based on the books read & discussed on the podcast by Kellie & Daphne – regular episodes, without bonus )

best sellers and other peak books from middle school era for those of us that aren't quite millennials but are also definitely not core gen z

^^ a walk down memory lane for anyone who might’ve been making collages from images found on photobucket and weheartit in the 2000s ^^

Joining my younger self on a reread of all the books I was exceptionally obsessed with in elementary, middle, and high school to reread this year between heavier books (some of the series are very long so I’m only including first in a series)

Books that blew my mind in the 2010s that are still famous to me.

Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch!!! I was there when it was written, so trust me on these deep cuts (shout out to Ash and Wildthorn for introducing me to lesbianism in 2009)

Idk how they (birds) found me, but everywhere I've gone since i found Mail Order Wings in an elementary school classroom library I've been followed by human-avian hybrid body horror themes in books ¯_(ツ)_/¯

These books have unethical scientists and shady projects and no institutional review board in sight

The OG reads from 2010s, iykyk.

So many childhood books, so little time, feel free to comment suggestions

Brings tears to my eyes whenever I remember these books

Growing up queer in the 2000s starter pack and some stuff I shouldn’t have been reading
