It's PB&Js with Izzy and Izzy today, and that's okay (Sam's here in spirit)! We're wrapping up our thoughts on The Bilingual Brain, and moving on to our next book...Eliza Sunshine!

For Native American Heritage Month, we'll be reading Eliza Sunshine by Michelle Good. We're very excited about this one, so listen in as Izzy reflects on her education (however minimal) about Indigenous peoples and history, and the need for all of us to educate ourselves by listening to and supporting Indigenous voices year-round! For those readers who have an easier time engaging in non-fiction, we've also included a link to some memoirs and non-fiction books by Indigenous authors. So get in there, and let's get reading!

Before anyone says anything, yes we are uploading this a day late - Izzy just got back from traveling, and let's just say the editing this episode needed was...scary. But enough about that!

For this episode of Heebie and Jeebies (hehe), Sam and Izzy decided to play a 90s game from the short-lived Dreamworks Interactive, called "Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland"! And it is...an experience. Also, just to set the record straight, Steven Spielberg did not direct the game, he was just "primarily responsible for negotiations with Microsoft to establish DreamWorks Interactive," according to Wikipedia, and he was probably one of the reasons they were able to get actors like Jeff Goldblum and Isabella Rossellini to join the project. Soooo...we may have directed a few too many of our complaints towards Mr. Spielberg...oops! But hey, if he wants to call us directly and yell about it, at least we can say we spoke to him!

Anyway, enjoy the chaos that is this entire episode, and let us know if you plan on playing some "Escape from Horrorland" yourself - but we totally understand if you want to pass on that one! See you soooooooon (imagine we're saying that in a ghosty voice).......
