Books is Teen Titans Go! Season 1, Episode 14a, and the 27th overall episode of the series.
Summary
The Titans discover the wonders of reading, but after opening a book that brings their thoughts to life, they must fight against their own imaginations!
Plot
Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy are sitting around the couch bored. All four of them express their boredom. This interrupts Raven, who is entertaining herself by reading. She suggests the other Titans try out reading too, because it invokes imagination. They apparently don't know what reading is so she explains it to them. After a long, awkward silence, the other Titans eventually decide to try it out.
The Titans are immediately entranced by reading and the imagination it invokes in them. They admit that Raven was right about reading and want more. Raven suggests starting a book club and the Titans are enthusiastic about it. Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy just share their feelings about the books, but Raven suggests they go deeper than that, which she does. This makes the other Titans freak out, saying that Raven is making reading boring. They want more books and Raven goes to get more.
The other four Titans decide to go find more books themselves. They go all around the Tower, looking in the fridge, looking under the couch, and looking behind picture frames (one of which houses Batman). Starfire eventually discovers a book. However, it's a comic book and the Titans don't want to read it because it has pictures and pictures don't invoke imagination.
Eventually, they head just outside the Tower and dig. They discover a chest that has what appears to be a very special book. They show it to Raven but she warns them not to read it because it invokes imagination too much. They ignore her warning and read it anyways. Their imaginations bring out dangerous versions of characters they were reading about previously. Raven says that the only way to get rid of the characters are to turn off their imaginations.
The Titans are unable to do this so they resort back to doing the book club again to make reading boring. They analyze their books and the characters go back into the special book. Raven hopes that this experience won't turn them away from reading and the four Titans just stare at them until the episode just randomly ends.
