Book fans, this one is for you! This is our second (and more structured) "That's Worth Re-reading" episode and today we are discussing Scythe by Neal Shusterman.  

In the world of Scythe, humans have achieved immortality and can reset their age to relive their youth. Only Scythes have the authority to end lives, following a strict code. They practice "gleaning" (the term for killing) a specific number of lives annually to maintain population control.

Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythe's apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn every method of ending life and come to understand the necessity of what they do. Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe's apprentice.

Listen along as we do a pretty good job of discussing the book spoiler free! If you think this genre isn't for you, maybe you should listen and then decide again. You might be surprised!
