    Segment 1: Readers Take Denver - This convention took place earlier this year and it left a bad taste in everyone's mouths. So much so that it has already been canceled for next year. See why.

    Segment 2: A Little Life Book Review. I've been sitting on this review for a minute because it's such a controversial subject matter, but I am finally ready to talk about it.
