How many books have you read in the last year? Go ahead—pick a number and hold onto it. Now, press play on this episode of the Borah Pridecast and meet a group of students who are driven readers and rabid competitors. For the past four years, Borah High School’s Idaho Battle of the Books team—affectionately known as the Big Friendly Slugs—has taken on the challenge of reading a dozen carefully selected books each year in preparation for fierce literary competition. But this isn’t just about numbers or titles. It’s about curiosity, camaraderie, and the kind of dedication that turns reading into a shared adventure. Kristen, Ella, Abby, Conlin, and Camden are more than competitors—they’re a reminder of what it looks like to be fully engaged, joyfully intellectual, and unapologetically themselves. They’re sharp, quick-witted, occasionally goofy, and deeply committed to their reading and each other. Listening to them, you’ll hear not just their insights on books, but their perspectives on teamwork, growth, and what it means to care deeply about something in a distracted world. There’s something quietly inspiring about this team. Maybe it’s their enthusiasm, or maybe it’s the hope they represent—a glimpse into a future shaped by thoughtful, driven young people who still believe in the power of language, of ideas, of stories. This is a feel-good conversation and these are Borah voices.
