In lieu of a new content episode this week we have a few announcements to share with you all. Be back in a couple of weeks with a brand new Book of Life discussion!

We're back from Cardiff! And we brought a new episode! Please join us for a special audio recording of our Time's Convert panel discussion from All Souls Con 2019. 

This week, we're discussing Chapters 18-20 of the Book of Life. Jack raises difficult issues for us and for our story -- mental illness, the fallibility of our protagonists, the trauma inflicted by Benjamin, the FIVE HUNDRED YEARS he spent waiting for Matthew and Diana to be ready for him. It's deep, it's tough, and we do our best to make it through unscathed. You can e-mail us at chamomileandclov...

In this episode, we start Sol in Virgo in New Haven with science and new characters and plot development, oh my! This episode has a little bit of everything -- a discussion about romantic tropes, Diana's identity, and the nature of blood rage as well as a fanfic-worthy Baldwin BDSM subplot (you're welcome) and some terrible (TERRIBLE) Cait puns. Oh, and we stick lots of pins in our feelings. If yo...

C...
