Shelf Defence

This week we get cosy by the cerulean sea and discuss the found family trope, which gets especially interesting when the family you’ve found happens to include the Antichrist.

We've made a lot of deals with elf kings at this point, but we just can't help ourselves - join us this week as we talk about the brooding king, the guaranteed monster dog pet and how women always save the day!

Today we discuss a much-beloved favourite from our childhoods, featuring leather-clad demon hunters, evil societies and a love triangle between a man who may be your brother and a rat.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that we all want to live in an Austen novel...Join us and Jane Hayes in an immersive experience that answers the important question: how much would you pay to meet Mr Darcy?

We're covering The Selection this week, a book about a girl who enters a competition for a prince's heart and is definitely not just a contestant on The Bachelor.

We get deep into the logistics of mail-order marriage to an alien species, but ultimately fail to understand "cocktails".

Join us for our podcast debut as we refuse to use the title "Wingleader" and debate if dragons really are a girl's best friend!
