My Podcast Knows What You Read in the Dark

Not every book you read has to change your life or be the worst book you've ever read. Sometimes books are just "alright" and there's nothing wrong with that! In this episode, we chat about these "just fine" books. If you stick around, you'll hear us talk about the most interesting woman in the world, our lack of self control in thrift stores, and our crystal meth r...

We've talked about some pretty whacky smutty books, but what if we told you that in this episode, we go into the details of pirate sex magic? It's about as cool as you're imagining.

Books Discussed: Slayer of the Pirate Lord...

It's right there in the title, folks. Kristen is careening off the deep end, because she's discussing her favorite book of all time!

This week, the two books we discuss are on the far ends of the spectrum - and by that, we mean "really good" and "really, really bad".

We had a good run. We really did. But this has to be our final episode. We've passed the point of no return.

You have to deal with us every two weeks... unfortunately for you.) Books Discussed: The Office of Garden and Ponds by Didier Decoin Stalked by the Boogie M...

Kristen breaks the first cardinal rule of the podcast - she brings a vector cover book to discuss. Kaitlyn, on the other hand, talks about dragons. We still have a lot of fun!

Wait... aren't all of them nerdy? We never claimed to be cool here after all. ANYWAY! We continue our anonymous reads saga, expose ourselves by talking about books that describe us, and play a fun game where we convince you whether you should or should not read a book. But then again... we are always doing that on this show. Books Discussed: The Bees by Laline Paull Laertes by Carly Stevens Bo...

Do you like reading books? Talking about books? Listening to a bunch of unhinged girls talk about books they loved, hated, and more? Then look no further!

We are living in a post-Stolen Heir world and all of us feel the need to talk about it. Everyone here is a big fan of all things Holly Black, especially The Folk of the Air, so we discuss her latest entry into that world. We also expose ourselves as Madoc apologists... and we aren't sorry about that. Paradox by | e s c p |  https://escp-music.bandcamp.com/ Music promoted by  https://www.free-s...

Sometimes characters have chemistry, and other times... well... they don't. Sometimes reading them interact is like watching paint dry or eating a plain piece of bread. Yuck.

None of us are a “Forbes 30 Under 30”. We don’t have a meeting with Universal Studios. We also didn’t write a book with a cringy self-insert character, horrible naming conventions, and the worst example of enemies to lovers we’ve ever seen, though, so… we are okay with it. Even if we are a bunch of losers, please stick around. We also discuss Irish-isms, book to movie adaptations, and more! ...

Do you like weird little freaks? Casual cannibalism? What about back alley surgery? What about DRAGONS? Or GRUMPY MEN? You can find all that and more during this week’s episode.
