A Podcast of Convenience

Over two years ago, we recorded an in-person episode on almost no sleep with a terrible microphone sitting around a creaky table...with TWO GUEST STARS! And then Julie never edited the episode. The audio quality is terrible, the book was bad, and we were in the weirdest mood, but at long last, here's some "Bonus Content." This might be the precursor to a new season! No promises, but maybe!

Shruti does all the work and Julie sits back and relaxes as they discuss cozy paranormal romance "The Widow of Rose House" by Diana Biller. Yes, this is still a podcast about reading books, despite the fact that one of them just didn't this month.

Shruti and Julie read "Lightlark" by Alex Aster and then learn about the drama surrounding its release, because they are filthy deets monsters who have to know everybody's business at all times. Find us on: Tiktok @podofconvenience Instagram @podofconvenience Email at podofconvenience@gmail.com

"The Misconception" by Darlene Gardner, a book from 2002, comes back from the dead. Grab a shovel, folks. Sometimes dead is better. CW: This book depicts sexual assault by fraud/deception. Find us on: Tiktok @podofconvenience Instagram @podofconvenience Email at podofconvenience@gmail.com

This is not a podcast episode. This is a therapy session that someone illegally recorded through the wall. The patient just happens to talk a lot about Dating Dr. Dil by Nisha Sharma. Find us on: Tiktok @podofconvenience Instagram @podofconvenience Email at podofconvenience@gmail.com

Shruti makes a joke about a character in "Get a Life, Chloe Brown" by Talia Hibbert coming to life. Little did she know, a character from the book DID manifest; not the hot protagonist, but the stray animal side character.

This week Shruti and Julie review "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas. They also have a pretty long talk about the Helm's Deep sequence in Peter Jackson's the Lord of the Rings for some reason.
