BOOKIN' IT

"The world is whispering–listen child!– The world is telling a tale... ...Child, keep watch for the passing form Of the one who made it all." The epicsode you have all been waiting for. The conclusion to The Wingfeather Saga. The episode where everyone cries. Here. It. Is. In. All. Its. Glory. *DISCLAIMER* No one on the show cries. We all did when reading though.

We walk you through the 2nd part through the beginning of the 3rd part. This is probably the more critical of the three episodes we're doing. Don't worry; we still had good things to say about this book. But what exactly do we criticize? Listen to find out. SUPPORT US HERE: https://patreon.com/bookinit TEXT US HERE!

 Starting at the first part and working their way to the beginning of the second part, they ask and answer questions like: Why is this the best book? Do you like the allegory in this book? And discuss things like: the formatting of the story, the Bonifer storyline, and the return of the footnotes! SUPPORT US HERE: https://patreon.com/bookinit TEXT US HERE!

BOOKIN' IT continues and finishes their discussion on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. SUPPORT US HERE: https://patreon.com/bookinit TEXT US HERE!

"Saturday morning was come, and all the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life." Do we covet what is difficult for us to attain? When does a talent become showing off? Did Tanner read and abridged version that "Appeared on his bookshelf" and didn't know it was abridged????? All of these are questions  BOOKIN' IT asks and answers--besides the last on...

BOOKIN' IT wraps up their discussion on Monster in the Hollows. SUPPORT US HERE: https://patreon.com/bookinit TEXT US HERE!

Is Monster in the Hollows better than North! Or Be Eaten? Is Rudric pronounced Roo-Drick or Rudd-Rick? (Vote at the website bellow) Is the Reckoning of the Bunge the best chapter/moment in the Wingfeather Saga?!?! All this and more in this episode.

This time, on the Cooper&Matthew Show... just kidding! All members were present and accounted for this time. Tanner hopped on this time and gave his baggage and thoughts on the WFS. As they talk through the rest of the book, they have a fun, friendly talk and discussion, discussing things like Podo, The Scale Raker, and The Fork Factory. Woe! (Editors note: that 'Woe' was describing...

This time on "The Cooper and Matthew Show", the boys talk through the first third or so of North! Or be Eaten - asking questions like, “Who’s your favorite character?” “Is Peet the Sock Man the same as Artham Wingfeather?” And of course, “Did you like  that there were less footnotes??(!!!)” Also, the author, Andrew Peterson, begins reading  aloud the third and fourth books on YouTube and...

Um, wow. What a... dark and depressing short story. Why in the (apparently dark and depressing) world did Poe want to write about an insane man in intense physical and psychological pain? Cooper and Matthew wrestle with this question throughout the course of the episode. Did they answer this dark and depressing question? You'll really have to listen to find out.

BOOKIN' IT, minus two, wraps up their discussion of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. After an embarrassing performance of plot guessing last week, Matthew at last had things revealed to him he did not previously know. Both Cooper and Matthew realize that they've never followed their younger siblings into something dangerous, and thus cement themselves as bad older brothers. Did t...

We finally started our mini-series on the Wingfeather Saga ! In this episode, Cooper, Isaiah, and Matthew bring what baggage they carry to the Wingfeather Saga. Afterwards, Cooper gives some background on Andrew Peterson and asks many questions concerning On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness (gasps for breath). A fun time is had by all, so make sure to listen and subscribe! SUPPORT US HERE: htt...

In a towering masterpiece episode, BOOKIN’ IT discusses The Scarlett Letter.  *WARNING* while nothing in this episode is inappropriate, the book of discussion focuses on a mature subject. Just a caution for younger kids. SUPPORT US HERE: https://patreon.com/bookinit TEXT US HERE!

Should Johnny have sought refuge at the Lyte's? Does the death penalty for stealing seem harsh? Were the Sons of Liberty really noble men? Funny t-shirt ideas? All this and much more! P.S. Matthew forgot to plug in his mic; sorry about the audio. SUPPORT US HERE: https://patreon.com/bookinit   TEXT US HERE!

Yep. We did it. The book everyone reads as a kid and (most of the time) doesn’t like. Well we liked it. Listen to find out why. SUPPORT US HERE: https://patreon.com/bookinit   TEXT US HERE!

Ya’ll know what makes a Texan? If not, you’re gonna know after listening. You’re also gonna know about leadership qualities, and the definition of a killer. Oooh! Exciting! SUPPORT US HERE: https://patreon.com/bookinit TEXT US HERE!

After giving his most ferocious wolf howl (not very ferocious), Cooper gives an update on College Football and asks Matthew, Isaiah, and Tanner their baggage on the book of discussion. After each giving their respective baggage, the boys (or young men, rather,) engage in a discussion on the question, “Is having a moral nature a handicap in the Wild?” After maybe losing their credibility, they are...

They talk about what weapon of choice they would use to kill a bear and funny Glacier Montana T-shirts. They relate SOTB to Star Wars, talk about Indian bear meat parties, squaw work, and much more! SUPPORT US HERE: https://patreon.com/bookinit TEXT US HERE!

 For hopefully the last time, Cooper gets the name of the book wrong in the intro. Once he's corrected, they're off. First, they apologize again for last week, then they say to scrap almost everything else and give the real updates. Then they're into the book, discussing about how scared they'd have been if they had been in Matt's (the character) place. They talk about the...

In this episode Cooper, Tanner, Matthew, and Isaiah talk about how they first heard about Number the stars. They talk about whether Annmarie and her family should have lied to hide Ellen from the Nazi Soldiers. They also talk about whether Lois Lowery described  World II well considering it’s a kids book.

In their second (and much longer) episode Cooper, Isaiah, Tanner, and Matthew talk about when and where they first experienced the Hobbit. They compare the movies to the book quite a bit (sorry 'bout that), and talk about what Tolkien would have said about the movies; namely the Elf-Dwarf love story.  Then Cooper claims that the last 25% of the book is the weakest part and the others jump to...

In which Cooper Cobbs, Tanner Lewis, Isaiah Raetchi, and Matthew Killingsworth discuss and debate The Hobbit. In their first episode, they discuss Tolkien's unmatched style of writing. Later, Cooper endeavors (although he shouldn't have had to) to convince the others that (a) Tolkien is the best fantasy writer ever, and (b) that Gandalf is the OG wizard and Dumbledore is a rip-off.
