It's almost certainly an age thing. One of the younger sisters of the teenager with whom I work loves Miranda Sings enough to have traded her 12th birthday party for tickets and a ride to another city to see her perform live. There's a whole mini-mythology of Easter eggs and callbacks and such, apparently.

I had guessed the queens, over the seasons, have learned to start prepping reads for the Library Challenge, as soon as they arrive in the workroom. It seems like there are fewer and fewer total duds.
