The Book Watchers Club - Holes

You've got to go and dig those holesssssssss If you are 90s babies like us you may remember picking up Holes by Louis Sachar at the Scholastic Book Fair. If you are anything at all like Chelsea, you still own the original hardcover from said Book Fair. You may also remember a cutie little show called Even Stevens with an up and coming actor named Shia LaBeouf. Despite being nothing like the physical description of Stanley Yelnats, Shia was cast in the adaptation of Holes. Both the book and film are surprisingly dark...Let's talk about it while not getting bit by a Yellow Spotted Lizard.

The Book Watchers Club - Divergent

They say "What Makes You Different, Makes You Dangerous". Well we say PISH POSH to that and invite you to embrace your differences in yet another post-apocalyptic series. Chelsea just CANNOT get enough.  Divergent is the story of a small but mighty girl who will somehow be the catalyst to save the world. Today we invite you to take a leap of faith with us as we discuss where the movie did really well and where it took some missteps. Maybe Chelsea will even have a hot take and actually like the movie??? One thing we can all agree on, Theo James with two first names is our favorite.  Homework: Persuasion Insta: thebookwatchersclub Just a heads-up - if any similarities exist between our podcast and others seem a little too close for comfort, we promise it’s purely coincidental!

The Book Watchers Club - Rebecca

Last night we dreamt we went to Manderly again. When we woke up we realized that we had to bring you today’s episode!  Rebecca, given the Anthony Award for Best Novel of the Century, is a gothic thriller from 1938. The first film adaptation (1940) won the Oscar but today we discuss the 2020 film on Netflix. While the movie was originally a DNF for Ariel, she wants to give it another chance. Chelsea goes in totally blind expecting this to be a turn of the century romance. Meet us at Manderly in your finest yellow suits and we will give you a discussion for the ages!
