We love a good romance! Seeking Persephone gained a lot of attention over the past months and catapulted into the spotlight and onto today's show! With names like Persephone, Athena, Artemis, and Daphne what could go awry? A brooding, wealthy duke who takes a wife he's never met, how could there possibly be DRAMA? Oh, and don't forget, there are wolves. Happy Listening. K&K

Welll...this was Kate's favorite so far because stuff actually happened...the thing's that happened were weird and at times infuriating, but hey, at least STUFF HAPPENED. The other Kate...well, the stuff that happened may not have been enough to endear her to this one. How many times did she put it down before finishing it? Listen to find out. Happy Listening, K&K

With the new TV series (Released in the US May 6th), we had to get into the book before we binged this Austen-adjacent tale of self-love. Mary Bennet, the "other" Bennet sister, is the sole remaining daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. With tragedy around the corner and a longing to be her own woman (with no idea where to begin) we join Mary in her pursuit of freedom. Happy Listening, K&amp...

The fourth novel in the OG Sherlock Holmes collection! We have enjoyed the road and we end in a valley *ba dum tss*. Baskervilles is the highest rated of the original novels, but will we agree? Happy Listening, K&K

We love comedies. At least one Kate loved the OG Anaconda. Will we love this reimagining? With Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Thandie Newton and Steve Zahn....what could go wrong? Happy Laughing, K&K

After watching Murder by Death Amazon recommended this 2023 movie staring Mischa Barton and everyone's favorite Irish detective from Castle, Seamus Dever. Murder by Death made us laugh so much and landed the satirical theme of the movie, so we decided to chance it with this unknown whodunit. It was....wow...a real experience. Happy Listening, K&K

We are diving into the world of Caraval following heroine Scarlett (aka Crimson) as she navigates a game where nothing is as it seems. After her sister Tella is kidnapped, she relucantly aceepts the aid of Julian, a man she doesn't trust but finds herself needing. This is a teen book but some of the elements felt VERY adult. The concept is fantastic, but was it well executed? Find out in today...

The Sign of Four...so ominous. Why not three? Or two? Why four? In this second Sherlock Holmes novel we meet a damsel in distress who catches the eye of dear Watson, a twin brother dies grinning, and a man with a wooden leg is difficult to find...

The final installment in the original Mistborn triolgy ends with HERO OF AGES...but who IS the Hero of Ages? Well of Ascension wasn't as great as our introduction to Sanderson's misty world but we have high hopes the conclusion will satisfy. Happy Listening, K&K

The beginning of an epic hero and his equally heroic sidekick. We are tacking the OG works of world renowned author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his most famous characters: Sherlock Homes and Dr. John Watson. Are we as impressed as the masses in the late 19th century? Or does living 138 years into the future mar the experience? Happy Listening! K&K

*jazz hands* "Amaze amaze!" "Fist my bump!" We read the book and now we're watching the film. These two Kates WENT TO THE THEATER and saw a RECENT film. What?! Who are we? Oh, I know...we're two Kates who loved Andy Weir's book and couldn't wait for the movie to come out. How does it compare? Is this a better book to film adaptation than The Martian?
