Sam is so back and portrayed in living color on the silver screen. We're kicking back in our month off the books and watching a year in Samantha's life play out in front of our very eyes. What changed? What stayed the same? And why on earth is Grandmary so c*nty?

Happy New Year, Dolls! We're back for one last yap (this year) and to look back at all the books we've read this year. What did we learn from reading 48 children's books in one year? Did they affirm our love of history? (yes), did they radicalize us politically? (also yes). In this bonus episode, we talk about why we love the girls, what we wish was different, and of course, whose dad was the hottest of them all.

Have you ever been bleu balled by a children's book? Because Changes for Kaya was NOT what we expected! We're okay, and we still love our girl, but...we were promised more. As we wrap up the original American Girl, we are forced to rant in equal measure about Kaya's inability to NOT be Magpie, and our hatred of how the US Government treated native people. It's an episode that contains multitudes!
