Blog Recommendation - Piling on the Books
Enjoying your podcast. Just a comment about your thoughts on "The Giver.". If you really must know what happens to Jonas, read "The Messenger," the third, but not as popular book in The Giver distopia books. But I like what Lois Lowery said in an interview once about the ending of The Giver. She says, if you are an optimist, Jonas makes it. Pessimists, then think Jonas was hallucinating. I like to think I'm an optimist.
