Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to challenge yourself and read a book that gets you out of your comfort zone. Flip the script on yourself and purchase a book from a debut author, read a Science Fiction, a romance, poetry.

In this episode, myself and a special guest breakdown the complexity of youth incarceration, support systems and understanding how certain factors play a huge role in keeping youth out of the prison systems. 

This conversation stems from the impactful and powerful sequel novel, Dear Justyce by Nic Stone. 

Episode 3, one of my all time favorite stories, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is being discussed and analyzed. This story is so powerful in a variety of ways, it is one of those books that will truly stand the test of time. Written over 4 years ago, it is still a timely novel that I believe should be in every school's required reading. 

My guest and I get into it on this episode, listen now! 

In this episode, I am discussing Rebecca Serle's latest novel, In Five Years. Myself and a guest discuss why its important to let go and allow opportunities to come to you instead of trying to control every aspect of your life.

In this episode, get to know me, my reading journey and where my love of books all started. I also share a big accomplishment I experienced in 2020. 

Welcome! I am Ashley Mouzzon, your fellow English graduate and bookworm. I created this podcast to go beyond the book; we are going to get in the trenches of themes, characters and more to see what types of conversations emerge from books of various genres. Occasionally, Literature Amplified will feature various guests for debate style banter that will showcase either similar or different viewpoints.
