ah, yes, ✨the fault in our stars✨... quite literally one of the best books in existence. the book and the movie have won some (and by some, I mean many) awards. I love, love, love this book endlessly and have read it as many times as I've read moon rising (for those of my listeners who have been here a long while, you know ive read moon rising a LOT- and a lot is putting it lightly...), so I decided to review it on the podcast because it's a book that NEEDS to be shared. however, this book also focuses on some topics including death, cancer, loss of a loved one, and (in the book) frequent cussing (though this episode is not explicit). if those are uncomfortable for you to hear, I suggest holding off listening to this episode until you feel ready or listening with someone who understands why you feel uncomfortable listening to these kind of topics for moral support. also, there are some scenes in the book that aren't exactly easy to read- so for my younger listeners, you may want to wait until reading this or have someone who's older than you read it first just to make sure it's "safe."

by the way, some of the segments in this episode took me many, many, many tries to record, so I would greatly appreciate if you listened to it. no pressure, though, if you don't want to listen to me rambling about hazel grace and her splendiferousness (that's not a word, I know, I made it up), then that's completely fine.

oh, and of course, we can't let this be an episode without a question of the day! what is a book you have always wanted to read? for me, this would have to be the divergent trilogy, because I heard that they're great dystopian books! hopefully I can pick it up sometime soon and review it. :)

I don't normally do this, but since I've been loving this song lately, here's a song recommendation of the day- all my love by noah kahan has been stuck in my head for the past couple days... and I love it! if you could take a couple minutes out of your day and tell me what you think of it, that'd be awesome.

have a great day!

those of you that missed my little brother moonpaw, he's back (as duck or ducky) now! duck makes some guest apperances in this episode from time to time, singing blink-182... and gives me the biggest side-eyes you've ever seen, except you can't see them. by the way, there maaay be an episode with duck coming soon! 🙃

I am very well aware that I'm late to listening to gracie's new album, the secret of us... but after seeing it at target at hearing that she did a song with my beloved second mother t-swizzle (otherwise known as taylor swift... but calling her "my beloved second mother t-swizzle" is just better). so i thought, why not react to it on the podcast? the only time I've heard a gracie abrams song was when she appeared on everywhere, everything with noah kahan, so why not listen to her new album and see if I actually enjoy her music? this will be similar to my 1989 tv episode, and if you liked that you'll probably like this? :)

my gracie fans, where you at? if you like her music, tell me in the comments, and if you're a fan, what's your favorite song from her? mine is probably risk or us. (partially because taylor is in it...) after listening to the secret of us. I don't know, but I might have to consider diving into more of her music after listening to this! her voice is so beautiful and she creates the most bone-chilling harmonies. I still have goosebumps from us. 😭🫶

question of the day for you guys: what's your favorite podcast? and I won't be offended if you don't say my podcast... there are so many podcasts out there with so many hosts that have A BUCKETLOAD more experience than I do. for me, it's probably cal's corner since cal is so funny and really relatable, and I love her guests. :) it is a podcast I totally recommend, so if you enjoy book content and q & a's, then it's a podcast for you!

also, this isn't necessarily a question of the day, but would you guys want more episodes like this? I'm planning to do one once onerepublic's new album comes out on the 12th of this month. would you like it if I did more content like this along with book content?

hope y'all have a great day! :)

So, I've been gone for a while, and that's because I've been undergoing the process of reinventing my podcast. My new podcast (yes, I'll stay on this account and all my old episodes will still be available) will be called Juniper's Jams, and I'll focus on books, book reviews/recommendations (so if you guys have any books or series you want me to check out that would be wonderful!), music, music artists, and some more random things. I may touch the topic of Wings of Fire and Warriors every now and again, but it won't be a frequent episode topic. I hope you'll support me through this change and if you don't want to, I understand. You do you. Scales and Tails: A Wings of Fire and Warriors Podcast has been such a fun chapter this past year and a half, but I think I need to close it and start a new one. You guys have been the BEST fans I could ask for. You've been so supportive, loving, and hilarious. I've loved all of your guys' fan art, stories, and all the other little things you sent me. Love you (platonically, of course)! <3

Have a great day, and signing off for the final time, this is your host, Juniperheart (soon to be Juniper)! :)
