Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps — the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and occasionally commit to the bit a little too hard). This week, we’re finally stepping into Prythian with A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Joining us for this romantasy adventure is a very special guest: Gabe’s wife, Laura, who helps guide us through our first real foray into fae courts, curses, and...

Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps — the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and somehow remember every book except the ones we rated highly). This week’s episode is our big year-end roundup of everything we read in 2025 — the best of the best, the absolute stinkers, and all the beautifully mediocre books that lived quietly in the middle. Expect chaotic rankings, plenty of “Wait, did we ac...

Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps — the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and still manage to mispronounce at least one character name per chapter). This week, we’re tackling The Strength of the Few by James Islington—an ambitious sequel that literally splits our protagonist into three. Three Vis. Three worlds. Three times the identity crisis. It doesn’t always hit the mark, but it’s bo...

Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps — the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and sometimes forget to talk about what we said we would). This week, we meant to dive into Matt Fraction’s new Batman run — but, true to form, we spiraled into something deeper. We’re talking about Batman as a mirror for change, the psychology of his never-ending crusade, and how comics can capture politics and t...

Hell is a campus . Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps — the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and sometimes  Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps — the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and sometimes question why we bothered opening a second bottle). This week, we’re descending into Katabasis by R.F. Kuang — a book that promises a journey to hell but somehow forgets to make it ho...

Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps — the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and, this time, rate the unrateable). In this episode, we tackle the messy world of book ratings — the difference between subjective vibes, objective metrics, and whether ratings even mean anything at all. Should books be graded like essays or judged like cocktails: purely by taste? Tune in as we argue, overanalyz...

Stronger together. Welcome to another episode of Novels and Nightcaps —the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and constantly mispronounce at least half the character names). This time, we’re diving into The Will of the Many by James Islington, a sweeping tale of power, privilege, and rebellion in a ruthless republic. We’re talking dark academies, deadly hierarchies, secret identities, and t...

Lights, camera, ramble! Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps —the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and occasionally pretend we’re Hollywood execs). This week, we’re tackling the subtle, slippery art of adapting books for the big screen. What makes a good adaptation? What ruins one? We each bring our own “recipe” for how to pull it off, and along the way we agree, disagree, and—as always—r...

“Human beings have a remarkable ability to accept the abnormal and make it normal.” Welcome back to Novels and Nightcaps— the podcast where we read, drink, and ramble (and constantly change our ratings halfway through the episode). This week, we’re closing out Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary with a full deep dive. Our good friend Hugo joins us as we spend the first fifteen minutes spoiler-free befor...
