[BACK TO SCHOOL THEME] Episode 9: For Furry Thou Art, and Unto Furries Shalt Thou Return - The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman

Revolver Reads: Book Club Russian Roulette

We hope you said your goodbyes to summer because September is here and we've recorded our biggest #tbt yet. This month we are happy to announce our very first themed episode in honour of the start of Fall, Back To School.
The Wheel of Doom's pick might have been too on the nose when we said we wanted something for "The Fall". It chose from a list of YA/children's literature with our Back to School theme and selected a modern retelling of John Milton's Paradise lost, The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman's (yet another series, sorry not sorry). Quite a fall indeed.
We were sent on a brave yet controversial journey to the North with this critically acclaimed and religiously hated novel. Don't forget your lunch as we join Lyra on her quest to rescue her friends and the world from the greedy hands of the Gobblers.
