  <description>&lt;p&gt;We are back again (so soon!) to discuss the film adaptation of one of our favorite books we've ever covered, Casey McQuiston's RED, WHITE &amp;amp; ROYAL BLUE, written and directed by Matthew Lopez for Amazon Studios! We talk casting, changes, adaptation choices, and so much more! Honestly, it was hard not to just sit here and gush, but we did our best to throw some critical analysis in there too. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stick around til the end where we may or may not drop hints about what might be coming next, and don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes!&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;In a slight change this week, we do a deep dive into a New Adult book - Casey McQuiston's queer romance RED, WHITE, AND ROYAL BLUE. We talk bisexual representation, political parallels, and so much more! This is one of our favorite books of all time, y'all, so buckle in. And stay tuned for the end, where we talk about potential movie casting, our 2020 year-end book wrap-up, and announce the BIG project we're taking on next year!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We mention friend of the pod Martha's Etsy shop, which sells beautiful "History, Huh?" stickers in this episode. You can find those stickers and more &lt;a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MediaMavenMartha?ref=shop_sugg" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
