Spring has sprung and we've re-entered a world filled with magical swords, enchanted fruit, and dastardly dragons this April. Welcome to the final half of our review for The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. There were many questions left unanswered last month, like did we manage to prophesize plot points accurately or were we way off the map? Did Ead and Sabran reunite? Does The Big Bad dragon have a name or were we left in the dark? Time will only tell, so please join us 'round the fire as we finish off this tale. This podcast includes topics may not be suitable for everyone ..read more

Thirty, flirty, and... nosediving into a sea of red flags. It's February so it's time to dye your hair, change your personality, and wear things you totally never wear because they don't even belong to you, they belong to your roommate. You know how it is. Love is in the air and we're just going to change ourselves completely for a love interest. You can't see the red flags when you're wearing rose coloured glasses, okay? We're joking, please never do this for anyone in your life. But welcome back reality where we are continuing with our beloved tradition of rigging our wheel to choose fro ..read more

Episode 28: Fiction Is The Lie That Helps Us Understand The Truth - On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

On this side of the Northern Hemisphere January is one of the darkest and coldest periods in the year. In honour of that, the wheel and Rebecca's taste in literature decided against any chance of uplifting anyone out of this gloomy time and drove us further into the dark with this month's pick. On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, is an intensely sombre novel about the failures of communication and learning to survive among monsters. Yet, there is a candle lit to guide us and it is the love the main character, Little Dog, is able to accept and receive despite everything. I'm not ..read more

In the dead of winter and at the shores of this tourist town you may find yourself cold, isolated, and contemplating how you ended up here in the first place. With nothing but time and the sound of the waves lapping over the din of restaurants along the coastline we thought it would be an amazing time to celebrate winter here. You should join us as we reminisce about the horror of our mid-twenties akin to the narrator of this month's bonus pick Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin. So please, grab your blankets and try to keep warm as the temperatures drop and the darkness creeps in. Thi ..read more

Are you ready to listen to a book club podcast about a book titled after a fictional true crime podcast? Because I'm not certain that we were ready to get this meta this month. With our fate in the hands of the wheel, it thought a thriller filled with arson, new identities, and a chilling Canadian murderer would be a fitting pick. But, were we chilled to the bone by the Ice Queen? Or did Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier barely make us quiver in our boots? Time will only tell.  So please grab your big detective magnifying glass and tune in to see who was the villain of this C ..read more

Welcome to the 10th annual Hunger Games! This month, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins was selected as tribute. As the prequel to the acclaimed Young Adult series, The Hunger Games, we and our inner teenagers had high hopes for this novel. As a radical change from the original trilogy, we are taken front-row seat to the inception of the Hunger Games as we know today from the perspective of none other than a young Coriolanus Snow (A.K.A. President Snow). We took the liberty and chose this bonus novel in honour of the release of the movie premier of The Ballad of Songbirds ..read more

We want to bring you back to a time when Cheers was on television, when MTV still played music videos, Reaganomics was in full swing, and pictures of scantily clad women were still legal in the workplace. Welcome to the late 1980's and welcome to our Halloween episode (for real this time). The author of this month's pick thought it would be an amazing idea to throw a vampire into the mix and honestly, we really can't argue with that. What would be more fitting than a bloodsucking monster terrorizing a small town in the Deep South by aiding the husbands of said town with gaslighting their wiv ..read more
