So fun going back to old books! Please cover Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian’s Burn for Burn series! Used to love that one!!

Letting me relive my childhood/teenage years through mostly cringey books (but occasional good ones!) without actually having to go back and read them- I love it! You guys are hilarious and thank you for making this podcast keep it up!!

I am so happy to be alive at the same time as this podcast. An absolute inspiration to the people who lived through the times of YA’s popularity in the 2000’s. Highly recommend starting off with their Twilight saga.

Gosh darn it if this isn’t the best thing you’ve ever heard

Unbe-tweenably outstanding. Joined for their Karen McManus One of Us is Lying coverage and have loved the author interview one-off’s mixed with the season long reviews. Sometimes I’m laughing right alongside with them and have to take a minute to recollect myself! Would love to bring these girls to Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville sometime if they’re ever in New York.

Growing up queer we didn’t have a lot of stories just for us. I enjoy the hosts looking at the Young Adult genre as fully formed adults and talking about the harmful media we grew up with and formed attachments with can still hold a soft spot in our hearts despite everything. I also really love their anecdotes!,,

My daughter and I are long time listeners of YWRI and I’ve finally gotten around to giving them a review. Meggie and Laura have really been such a staple to my life these past few years and are such a joy to put on while I paint. I get to connect with my daughter over books she loves and feel like I’ve gained two new friends in the process. They really make you feel as if you’re in the room having a conversation with you! I 100% recommend for not only the seasons, but occasional one off’s and author interviews. If you’re a YA fan, this IS the podcast!!!

I’m just wrapping up the Uglies season and starting on Gossip Girl and I really love the energy the hosts bring to discussing not only fun bits, but also relevant topics to society. Especially in the Uglies, they really dove deep dissecting parallels between current technology, Instagram face, and Scott Westerfields world that essentially predicted the future. I don’t have time to read old YA books I used to love and this is a great way of revisiting my past. If you’re a 2000’s book worm, I highly recommend

How can you not love this podcast? The riffs on Nate’s Viagra addiction had me howling. They deserve all their flowers and more.

Love the podcast! You mentioned there being 12 gossip girl books but there are 13. It has to be you is the 12th book/prequel, I will always love you is the 13th/covers college!

I found YWRI through Reddit and am extremely impressed by the nuanced conversations that take place on the show. The hosts cover every base of the plot in an incredibly organized fashion while interweaving jokes and personal anecdotes in a way that doesn’t feel clunky. The dunking on Nate Archibald in the Gossip Girl series and the inclusion of his dialogue made me so nostalgic for the books. Thank you for the journey 🌟🌟

Listen, they are incredible. The absolute Roman Empire of podcasts. I just absolutely love them and can’t get over Maggie and Laura dissecting books I grew up with to get at the problems I grew up with. They make me feel less alone. Pee on me

Why wouldn’t you listen to these two incredible people? Seriously, no excuse works.

Meggie and Laura are incredible hosts. They will never die.

Can’t get enough! Started this podcast on a road trip a while ago and I love it! Subscribed!

Kids showed me this over the weekend. Love it,

I didn’t know what to expect with YWRI but it exceeded expectations. The hosts are warm and so loving. They make the material so fun and really give books I used to love a whole new meaning. As an avid ya reader, I can’t imagine a better podcast

I’ve (30F) been a longtime fan of the Clique books since I was 11 so I was really excited to find a podcast discussing them since they’re obviously not popular anymore. I really wanted to like this podcast but I can’t when the hosts only want to pick out everything wrong with the books. It’s also weird how they want everyone in the books to be lesbian or gay - one or two times I get, but every episode they mention it and it just loses its significance after awhile. I understand that these books were written over a decade ago so some storylines will be very outdated, but I guess I was hoping to listen to a podcast that discussed the books in a more positive light. I am glad to see other people are enjoying the podcast though so maybe it’s just me! :)

I really love it. I love it a lot. The fans? Should be in numbers.

I cannot sing the praises of Meggie and Laura enough. Ya, We Read It! is easily my favorite podcast, hands down. Their banter is funny, insightful, and concise, something not many podcasts can do- especially for books over 300 pages!!! Can’t wait to say I was a day one fan when these two blow up!!!

Such good

Best podcast out there!!

So much fun listening to this podcast - and diving into backstory, characters and plot. Recommend!

Having listened to this podcast, I found it perfectly satisfactory. Everyone can be confident that it is vastly superior to listening to your own thoughts. Listen, I’m not joking here. Please give it a try.

Comedy is good to end bc this exists

Sorry but this is the best podcast period

I’m shocked people haven’t locked on to this podcast yet. the chemistry between the hosts is so good, the conversation is insightful, and the books they pick are incredible. I’ve got all my friends hooked on this. Perfect for the fall

When I was a young teenage boy, I didn’t really think critically enough about the media I was consuming. That means I didn’t critically think about the way men and women were portrayed in media. It wasn’t until a friend of mine pointed out that the Transformers and the Twilight franchise’s came out at the same time that media tends to criticize what young women were into as opposed to what young men were into. This podcast is a great eye-opener to those young men who don’t understand that…and I’m sad to say it took me this long to realize it, that maybe we should re-examine some of the media that came out during our informative teenage years. If you have to listen to any particular series of this podcast, I think the Hunger Games episodes are the best place to start because Meggie and Lauren really break down Katniss’ journey in a way that I (who only read the first book and saw the movies afterwards ), didn’t think about until after listening to their podcast. In other words, if you were a dumb teenage boy like me, you should listen to this podcast because it will, hopefully make you less of a dumb teenage boy…if that makes any sense 😅

5-stars. Would do six but the devil lives inside of me already.

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique - thank you Meggie and Laura.

This is such a good podcast I cannot get over it. I’ve tried other Young Adult ones and could never get into it but their vibes. Incredible.

This podcast mannn. It’s so funny! I cannot sing Meggie and Laura’s praises enough and highly recommend. Every season has me laughing my butt off.

Please do the Privilege series the private spinoff. Ariana's favorite line is "I'm not like other girls"

This podcast has released plenty of episodes on YA book series like The Clique, The Hunger Games, and The Vampire Diaries. The hosts, Meggie and Laura, do a great job at recapping them in an entertaining manner and poking fun at them for the many ways in which these books can be YA-ey. If that’s what you’re looking for, then I recommend tuning in.

How can I possibly read every book that is suggested to me? Now, this show helps me keep up with all the reading I don’t have the time to do on my own. This is the definitive book lover’s podcast. Meg is a deity. Why isn’t there a 6/5 stars option?!

Finally, a podcast covering books I loved growing up!!!! Meg and Laura do a great job covering YA novels in a hilarious, concise voice. I binged the entire Uglies series in a DAY

I’m obsessed with Meggie. They make my life complete.

Found this phone at a bar and gave the podcast five stars

insightful commentary! great banter! meggie and laura offer a great podcast here. solid brand. 10/10

What can I say besides I’m obsessed! Subscribed immediately !!!

I absolutely love this one!!!! A great podcast for people who love early 2000's young adult novels. Meggie and Laura notice me senpai

What else can I say except that this covers all the bases! Witty summaries, great banter, concise points. I’m obsessed!

I’ve read so many early Y2K novels and have been looking for something like this for a while. Laura And Meggie go above and beyond in their coverage of a variety of series! Heavily recommend

I love it

As an avid listener to YA book reviews and book reviews in general - I can honestly say this is the best one out there.

Laura and Meggie are hilarious! That, and the cover art makes me smile every time I look at it :D

Great

This pod rocks! Hit subscribe if you know what’s up!

Obsessed with Meggie and Laura. If you like podcasts, this one is a podcast.

With a great podcast! Honestly a great nostalgia/literary dive into the past. Fun hosts and excellent content.
