Bookalicious Pod

In this episode, the ladies talk so much about memes that they become one. They emulate the half-drawn-horse meme by going into intense detail on the first two chapters and warp-speeding through the last two so they can finish Elantris before the end of time. Sarene is still sporting her Carmelita Spatz wig but now she's becoming our favorite character as everyone else keeps getting worse. We have...

The girlies show off their procrastination skills by doing their darndest to not discuss the very depressing chapters that chronicle Elizabeth Zott's life. They start off by welcoming their new listeners from around the US - thanks for listening (please leave us a 5 star review). Bookalicious hits a pivotal moment in this this episode by hosting their first non-familial guest! The girlies make...

The girls are back at it with another action-packed episode on Elantris. As always, the sisters need to waste time in the beginning. The listeners get to see behind the curtain of Bookalicious operations as they officially dub their analytics segment Bookalytics which they coined on the spot. It turns out all of our listeners skipped Episode 2 of Elantris. The girlies recommend all of their listen...

After spending more than one (1!!) hour on Chapter 8, the ladies warp speed through Ch 9-11. Chrissy is triggered by the Catholic boys home and both Candice and Chrissy are depressed by the end of Ch 11. BUT their spirits are lifted when they remember their first and most beautifully written review! The book keeps getting sad, so cheer us up by leaving a 5-star review on Spotify or writing us all...

In this episode we have our very first guest, our brother Jordan! This is his first introduction to both Bookalicious and Elantris so he has some fresh takes on all the goings-ons in Arelon. We identify our favorite listener as our UK listener who made our pod officially international. Little do we realize this listener never returns to the pod. The siblings make a bet on how many chapters they wi...

ATTENTION: SPOILER for Chapter 11! Candice is recovering from a cold so the sisters no longer sound like one person podding alone. The girlies learn that there is no better coattail to ride than Taylor Swifts. In Bookalytics, we find that Bookalicious is WORLD WIDE with up to 1 listener across 7 countries. Chrissy correctly identifies our target audience - Slow Readers of TikTok, and Candice commi...

Chrissy and Candice discuss their thin hair and needs for argon oil and Chrissy's lack of amino acids from her years of being a macroni & cheese only vegetarian. The girlies decide to start a new segment called Book-alytics where they waste time looking at their audience stats and find out they have been wasting marketing dollars sending ads to Mercury. A new tenant of Bookalicious is esta...

We begin Lessons in Chemistry but first spend too much time trying to learn all the American history we missed in school. Candice goes rogue and calls out all the groups of people who are obsessed with their hobby - crossfit, keto, vegans, and Swifties. Candice is now in witness protection hiding from Taylor Swifts army We round the episode out with Calvin giving Pikachu Face on sex discrimination...

In this episode, Candice and Chrissy discover listening analytics on Spotify and get a little obsessed on who's listening to our episodes (besides us, of course). We discuss the end of Ioden, how we feel about Sarene marrying her grandpa, and what Hrathen has missed on his 5 day retreat to Elantris. Thanks for joining our club!

After a deep dive into all things Barbie, Candice and Chrissy get back to Elantris. We debate whether Roial is Sugar Daddy Ken, who gets the ick stamp, and all of the drama that unfolds during the Arelon eclipse party. (Elantris conversation starts at 21:10) Cupcake/ice-cream emoji 🍨🍨 Quality content from the Barbie banter: Pregnant Midge with a baby where her organs should be Pregnant Midge, Wa...

In this episode, Candice and Chrissy discuss at least three reasons why they’re taking so long to finish this book, the succotash recipe that will save Elantris, and how they would handle the murder pool that turns you to sugar dust. Also, Ioden is "nothing more than an insecure, trivial, incapable invalid." Xoxo - Sarene "The Academy" Phineas and Ferb compilation https://www.y...

Welcome back to Elantris! Hear our hot takes on John Green, why Dilaf is either Nathan Shelley or a member of the lollipop guild, and whether Sarene was meant to be so ick.

Join our book club on Elantris as we discuss all things Omin and Dilaf, discover the mastermind behind Shaor's gang, and pitch our idea for Real Housewives of Elantris. Also: Candice's five minutes of fame in Tennessee.

Special Episode: Live from Florida! Join our book club as we discuss all things Elantris, including: What is Raoden's purpose? What happens when you unite people in hate and can you control it? What is the purpose of pain? And, has Dilaf gone too far? (Spoiler: Definitely.)

On this episode, Candi and Chrissy discuss cruise ships, truth, and of course, Dilaf.

In our third discussion on Elantris, we realize we will not finish the book in three parts as we previously planned. We also become the presidents of Dilaf's Fan Club, talk about logic and emotion in religion, and ask whether we would be friends with Sarene, among many other topics. Oh- and there's treason.

We fall very short of our goal of discussing 100 pages in Elantris, and instead review maybe 40. Brought to you by the letter K and an uncomfortable moment of silence.

Candice is Chrissy's "Galladon" as she leads Chrissy through Elantris. Chrissy learns how to read fantasy novels, Candice has insightful comments, and we both make predictions on what happens next.
