Rereading the Revolution follow along
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 theyโre a great bookish podcast to support
