A Pod of Sass and Sarcasm

The espionage was fun while it lasted, but unfortunately for Ian, this book is not actually about espionage. It's about suffering, and doing so secretly with no praise. But we learned that Sara is still illiterate, that Isabelle is still an idiot, and that Ian is usually right, unless he's wrong, in which case, he's a sourpuss.

Hey book girlies and gamer guys! Thank you so much for your patience with us through our impromptu sabbatical. We're glad to be back and jumping right back in where we left off. This episode, continue reading The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, and we focus on the separate stories of the sisters Vianne and Isabelle. Vianne is getting uncomfortably close to Captain Beck, and he is getting creepi...

Hey book girlies and gamer guys. Your favorite nerds are back after a short mental health break, and we're diving right back into The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. Of course, we've discovered a new drinking game for you while editing this week's episode: take a drink any time Sara Americanizes a French or German word. Bonus points if it's someone's name. EXTRA bonus points if...

This was never light and fluffy, but The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah continues to get darker and heavier. Hindsight makes this even scarier, and we don't know who we can trust or what people even know. All we know is that Beck and Vianne need to chill out with their little dalliance flirtation, Isabelle needs to watch her back if she wants to make any sort of progress with the rebellion, and we...

As we continue to get into The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, we of course have to take deep, steadying breaths because this book is already hitting us hard. Difficult situations, unavoidable circumstances, impossible choices, and the fear of the consequences influence our protagonists in their choices. Is rebelling an act of justice or simply reckless abandon? And again, we find ourselves asking...

We continue our exploration of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale , getting Ian all caught up on what he missed (we told you he wasn't in the murder hole!) and dealing with the harsh realities of World War 2. What does survival look like? What does resistance mean? How can one be loyal to a cause without drawing attention to oneself? And are pirates and thieves the same thing? Guess you'...

Hey book girlies and ... birders? Don't worry, gamer guys, Ian will be back next time, but to start off season 2, we have a special guest, our favorite Disco Court patron, Bri, joining Sara to discuss The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. This story promises to be heavy and possibly hard to get through, but a highly important read. Find us on Facebook as A Pod of Sass and Sarcasm Follow us on Instagr...

A few things we learned this week: you don't threaten an attempted murderer, you don't mess with the woods, and you definitely, definitely, definitely don't want to lose your breakfast over a dead porcupine. In this week's episode, we explore the question of who is the racoon, who is the porcupine, and who is the rabbit, because we already know who the monster is (hint: it's Skye!) Follow us on In...

Let's just say that Amelinda Berube's Here There Are Monsters is giving us all of the spoopy feels! From strange encounters in the woods, to eerie sibling interactions, to creepy crows being creepy, we are reeling on the edges of our seats! We don't know much, but we definitely know that Deidre is weirder than weird, and we certainly know that Skye scares us. Follow us on Instagram @a_pod_of_sass...

Your favorite book girlie and gamer guy dig in even deeper into the story of Here There Are Monsters by Amelinda Berube. Things get spooky and kind of weird. It seems like Skye never wants to be home, we're left wondering why. Is there something better somewhere else? Or is something much worse at home and we just don't know about it? In general, we're really starting to not trust Skye as a narrat...

We're continuing the story of Here There Are Monsters by Amelinda Berube, and discovering that all is not exactly what it at first seemed. Who are the real monsters? And what are they capable of? Why is Skye so angry? Are there dark, magical forces at play, or just humans being deranged? And most importantly, will Sara ever learn how to read? We explore these questions and more in this week's epis...

Hey book girlies and gamer guys! We are starting this journey with what was supposed to be a light and fluffy book to take our minds off of the stresses of life and the "unfavorable" writing of our previous book experiences; but when we tell you that we utterly missed the mark on light and fluffy, we mean it! We delve into the first few chapters of Amelinda Berube's Here There Are Monsters , a sto...
