Our long awaited episode is finally here! You asked, Kristen suffered. Join us as we deep dive into Skyshade, the third novel in the Lightlark series. We laugh, we cry, we wish it was over. Books Discussed: Skyshade by Alex Aster Books Mentioned: Nothing. We are broken. Join our book club, WORNPAGELIBRARY!

On today's episode, we bring you myths. Lots and lots of myths. We've also got graphic novels, the wonder of storytelling, and a little sneak peak of our next episode, which we know will have everyone excited. It may have to do with the third installment of a certain series that rhymes with SnightSnark. Books Discussed: The Sea-Ringed World: Sacred stories of the Americas by Maria Garcia Esperon,...

If there is one thing you need to know about us, self indulgence is our middle name. Join us as Kristen tries to scare everyone with the passage of time. Kaitlyn holds us all prisoner to promote her whimsical agenda, and Laety gives a non-spoilery review of a horror novel with a happy ending. Stick around at the end for an AITA segment that makes all four hosts angrier than they've ever been befor...

Everyone knows that we like to be a bit shady, but the vague posting in this episode will have you taking off your sunglasses. You won't need them. Be sure to stick around for the entire episode, where we discuss our favorite Halloween costumes, a queer horror anthology, and a new novella from a beloved author. We even dabble in a discussion about what book tropes we are. You're gonna love it! Boo...

We recorded this one way past our bedtime so join us for our sleepiest episode to date. Come along as we discuss Kaitlyn's bathroom debacle, an older favorite of B's that doesn't quite hold up, and a poetic pick about grief, lies and sisterhood. Books Discussed: The Dark Queen Saga by Susan Carroll Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo Books Mentioned: The Bridgerton Series by Julia Quinn Coldes...

Did you miss us?! We know we've been... uhh.... missing in action. But we've come back in style, baby. Because Kristen brought a bad romance, and Laety brought something really weird but somehow meaningful. Typical. Other talking points include: the intimacy of girlhood friendships, the worst shapeshifter ever, and a return to AITA (hint: they both suck!) Books Discussed: Organ Meats by K-...

Welcome to My Podcast Knows What You Read In The Dark, after dark. No really, we recorded this one late at night and we're four sleepy hosts. Join us as we discuss our annual torture of Kristen, another wonderful entry by Keri Maniscalco, Kaitlyn tries to make the incomprehensible, comprehensible, and a new guess the star rating game. You'll want to stick around for this one! Books Discuss...

We are just going to scroll right on past this episode title... In this week's episode, join us as we explore identity with a graphic novel, a criminal entry to the beauty & the beast trope, why cornflakes exist (if you didn't already know, you're in for a wild adventure), and another AITA segment. You do not wanna miss it! Books Discussed: The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang...

Not only is our schedule all over the place, but we got some bad audio in this one. Sorry guys! We'll be fixing it for the next ones. Hopefully you'll forgive us, because this episode is pretty funny, if we do say so ourselves. We discuss the solar eclipse of April 8 2024, cool magic systems, aging lovers, masked men kink and the biggest loser love interest ever (derogatory). <p>Book...

Kristen and B are innocent bystanders as Laety and Kaitlyn ambush the podcast! Oh no! Join us all as we dive into the series that has completely altered their brain chemistry. Other talking points include: what we're all like at work and the key to being an insufferable teenager. Book Discussed: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor Books Mentioned: Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor Met...

We are very aware the name of this episode is confusing, but we promise it'll all make sense in time. You may just not like it once we get there, because we create the anti-book boyfriend to dry you up quick. While you're here, we also discuss Laety's newest thriller read, Kristen stepping outside her comfort zone, and in-depth look at a segment we are calling "How Soon Is Too Soon? A Guide to...

We are back to our roots... hating on popular BookTok books! We bet you missed it. We also discuss our favorite sounds and our sensitivity to them, the trope "Villain Gets the Girl" and how no one can do it right, and how if you want to fuck Batman, you should just write fanfiction and leave us alone. We end the episode by answering the question... am I the asshole? Books Discussed: Soun...

What can we say? We love our gay blorbos. If you do too, stick around as we discuss bargains with spirits, Irish lore, beloved character's lockscreens, and one star reviews on books we've read in our book club! Books Discussed: The Midnight Bargain by C. L. Polk Realm of Lore and Lies by Claire Wright Books Mentioned: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor Stormsong by C. L. Polk Perfe...

An entire host of technological difficulties tried to keep this episode from you. It may be a week late, but it's finally here for you to listen to and enjoy. Join us as we discuss our ideas for character lock screen pics, if you give a robot autism, a popular author writing a little out of her comfort zone, authors were almost definitely biased against, and so much more! Books Discussed: The...

Episode 29 broke our spirits, so we're using this episode to complain about it. Join us as we discuss our recording hiccups, an oldie but a goodie by a perpetual podcast fave (Holly Black), a dark romance series that even our resident die hard couldn't stomach, and so much more! Books Discussed: The Curseworker Series by Holly Black The Clearwater University series by Eva Ashwood Books Mentioned:...

We hope you appreciate this one, because it was a nightmare to record, edit, and get up for you guys. Just shows how much we love you! (One day we'll learn from the McElroys and delete Audacity forever... but today is not that day). Make our suffering worthwhile by sticking around for the entire episode as we discuss our insane stress about a new release, a super sexy vampire polycule, the hor...

2 Light 2 Lark: The Starstick Strikes Back… or something like that. That’s right baby, we’re back to cyberbullying Alex Aster except this time, we’ve dedicated an entire episode to it. Join us as we dissect Nightbane, the sequel to Lightlark. Be aware: silences may be longer than they appear. Join our book club, WORNPAGELIBRARY!

We know it's already been our birthday, but we continue this week with another birthday adjacent episode! Doesn't that sound fun? We talk about Clare Sager and how wickedly cool her writing is, female rage, how much head trauma we see in books, and the only guy on the planet who deserves to receive head. Books Discussed: A Kiss of Iron by Clare Sager The Alien Assassin's Convenient Wife by...

Happy 1st birthday to My Podcast Knows What You Read in the Dark! We are ready to smash cake into our little faces with grubby, sticky hands. Just kidding. Instead, we are going to discuss the simple pleasures of good smut, toxic beauty culture, and play a fun birthday game where we try to guess the name of some... interesting series. While we like to have fun and be silly here, be warned that thi...

This week, it's all about Greek tragedy and whimsical adventures about dreamers and the adventures they go on inside those dreams. Pretty rad, right? Stick around while we discuss book characters we want to throw hands with, graphic novels, and for fans of The Cruel Prince, Stalking Jack the Ripper and Gideon the Ninth... we bring you "Vibe Check"! You'll have to listen until the...

This is it, our longest episode title ever. But it’s relevant to the conversation, we promise.

It's officially spooky month and what's scarier than dealing with the healthcare system in the good ole' US of A? NOTHING! Except maybe the books Kristen and Laety are bringing this week. Keeping with the theme, we also discuss the finer points of the Thriller genre, the most unhinged book protagonist of all time, and play a game where we try to guess the fake Kindle Unlimited title. T...

We don't promote bullying here. Except when one of us hasn't listened to Hozier's new album. Then, it gets personal. (Stream Unreal Unearth on Spotify you heathens!) We promise, though, there is book talk happening as well. We discuss very good (and very bad) mental health representation in books, another sad and pathetic man to add to our collection, and our wildly impractical novel p...

There is definitely some questionable fanfiction out there, but now the ladies of "My Podcast Knows What You Read in the Dark" are bringing you the worst of the worst: fanfiction for Disney Adults!!!! It really is almost spooky month. Please stick around, though. We also chat about dog antics, a super chill Beauty and the Beast retelling, and we even teach you how to enjoy reading! But i...
