I have Matlab for all my math needs.

So she's essentially like Kirby.

I would figure out something to save my friends from a troll.

Spencer hates Snape, Dumbledore is still up in the air.

This week continue with Station Eleven. We thoroughly enjoyed talking through the last of the characters in this episode and a bit about the world in general. Next up: Hungry Daughters of Starving Mothers by Alyssa Wong On deck: The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins In the future: Cuisine des Memoires by NK Jemisin Suggestions welcome.   We […]

The next time through I did get Hufflepuff so all is right in the world.

He's just the main character that essentially dies before the beginning of the story.

I don't understand the intervening month.

Oh I get it now, it's diagonally.

Well the twist, it wasn't really a twist, and that's ok.

Expostulate, apparently not a new word but a good one either way.

We don't like the engagement. It's weird and it doesn't fit.

We take on our first detective/mystery novel with Tana French’s The Likeness as suggested by an avid ‘listener’. In our second episode we discuss the Whitethorn ‘manor’ and the group of friends (and Det. Maddox) that inhabit it. We talk a bit about their relationships and what we think about deteriorating relationships. Also a bit […]

I'm really looking forward to more snappy detective dialogue.

We take our first dive into an all inclusive audiobook/podcast experience with an episode of Levar Burton Reads episode 25 – Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience™ by Rebecca Roanhorse. As all the short stories in Levar’s podcast, this is a short <1hr story with twilight zone-esque themes. We take a closer look at what authentic […]

Also we go over parts of Alabaster’s story, and anything we may have missed or want to rehash from previous episodes.
