Spoil Me

Thanks to Abbey for commissioning another episode of Lirael! This has been a lot of fun to read now that we're in more than one POV, and I feel like the author is really getting better at setting up who these characters are before we get into the main adventure. Lirael isn't having the best time. Spoiler alert, neither is Sameth. He's supposed to be studying the Book Of The Dead, and yet just touc...

Thank you very much to Jill for commissioning this next episode of Dark! I'm very very excited about this show and hopeful that I will be covering it more steadily in coming months. This episode is all about revelations, secrets, and shame. Not everyone is found out, however; we've still got Peter being a creep and very suspicious for reasons we still aren't aware of. But Hannah, your time has com...

Thanks to Denise for commissioning this episode! I'm really starting to get....almost overwhelmed is the word I think...at how deep this story is and its layers of symbolism. Like, this is some real shit here. Oof. These chapters deal with poor Nassun mostly, and the fact that she's starting to tap into something that most Orogenes never seem to find, which means that her abilities are branching o...

Thank you again to Patricia for commissioning this entire book! This was such a fun one, and I think this is my favorite finale of all the Diana Wynne Jones books so far. This series of chapters, Christopher has to retrieve the Chrestomanci's lives from where they've been called into series Eleven, and it takes all of Tacroy's training to get him in and out of there in one piece. He winds up havin...

Thank you very much to Martin for commissioning this episode! I'm glad to be getting back into this world, as I feel in some ways it has the most potential for surprises of many things I'm covering at the moment. These chapters are when Nona starts to meet other classmates and starts on her studies of both academics and combat. She makes friends easily enough, but she's so aware that being too goo...

Thank you to Patricia for commissioning this episode! It's almost time to say goodbye to these characters, and I really don't want to do it. This book has been so much fun and I kind of want there to be an ongoing series with these characters and their hijinks. Because, boy, do they get up to hijinks. These chapters are mostly about Tacroy being captured and the revelation (FINALLY) that Christoph...

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode, and for her patience when I messed up and had to delay the episode.

Thank you so much to Melanie for commissioning this episode! So I had had some trouble with following the story in previous chapters, but this one was a lot easier for me. The whole chapter jumps back and forth between Dandelion past and present, as he tracks down the Witcher and tells him about all that has been going on in the land since he was injured. What it boils down to is that there's a to...

Hey! I'm so excited to post another episode of High Wizardry, so huge thank-you to Devin for commissioning this episode! I'm totally freaked out about what is going on with Dairine, I'm not gonna lie. This girl is way too adventurous and she needs to chill out or she's going to give me a heart attack. Dairine decides that she's just going to fly around from planet to planet and try to do her best...

Hey there, folks! Sorry it's taken me so long to get these upcoming episodes posted, but I fell so damn far behind last week and I'm just scrambling to catch up. Thank you so much to Melanie for commissioning these episodes! The two episodes I'm covering here are Fight Fighters and Little Dipper, and both deal with Dipper trying to get some leverage and respect from people he thinks don't see him...

Thank you to Abbey for commissioning this episode! I'm so glad that there's more of this book already commissioned because I'm dying to figure out what's going on. I kind of squeezed in everything that happened to Lirael into the end of the episode because I spend so much time on Sameth and his friend Nick who winds up getting nailed with the creepy metal shard gadget that was intended for Sameth....

Thank you so much to Jocke for commissioning not only an episode of coverage but also a voyeur episode so that everyone could hang out with me on Facebook Live and watch me watching the show. Because we've reached peak meta. :D This episode was a helluva first, and I'm really impressed at how much they were able to pull me in with just one episode full of completely new characters. I'm really inte...

Thank you so much to Patricia for commissioning this next episode of this wonderful book. This section, it turns out that the Chrestomanci's people have found out that Tacroy (aka Mordecai) was one of the Wraiths, and they are questioning him very closely but he manages to really cover for Christopher and nobody suspects his involvement at all. This is curious since Chrestomanci knows that Christo...

Thank you to Melanie for this commission! This episode, I spend a little time talking about changing my approach to reading these books. Based on a conversation I had with Melanie after the previous episode, I've decided to sort of step back and stop worrying too much about the details in favor of just letting the overall story wash over me. I think that worked well this time around! The bulk of t...

Thank you to Abbey for commissioning this episode of Lirael! I'm really excited because there's a new character being introduced to the story and I'm here for it! First off, though, there's something that Lirael needs to deal with. And it's got hooks for hands. Oh, and also there's a mysterious dog here who is just not being honest about what's going on and I am major suspicious about what the hel...

Thank you so much to Melanie for commissioning the next 2 episodes of Gravity Falls! These episodes we get two great stories, which both are even more high-adventure than usual because both our lovely twins are involved in each one. Previously, they've been a little bit split up and doing their own things or overcoming their own obstacles separately. But this time, our dynamic duo the Mystery Twin...

Thank you to Patricia for commissioning this episode, and getting me into a nice rhythm with this show again! This episode, we've got several things going on, and they're all a bit of a bummer. Veronica is busy trying to find out who is blackmailing all the gay students at her school, and it seems like they're being bullied as well. Then there's Keith's case with Terrence, and it seems like things...

Thank you to Rachel for commissioning "Dipper VS Manliness" and "Double Dipper" this week! I'm super excited that I get to watch two of these per episode (at least for now) and these are maybe my favorites so far. The first one concerns Dipper and his masculinity, and it's low-key adorable while also super frustrating because masculinity is the most fickle thing. It's wonderful how the episode jux...

Thank you to Patricia for continuing to commission this book! I'm stoked that this series of chapters is all focused on Christopher's magical education, because I'm very eager for him to finally prove himself. Christopher is not happy living at Chrestomanci castle. He's the only young person there, nobody really cares about talking to him or entertaining him, the magic built into the place is oppr...

Thank you to Abbey for commissioning this episode! This section of Lirael is super interesting because she gets approval to work at the Library, which turns out to be just as dangerous as the Clayr have warned her. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Lirael was prepared to take that as seriously as she should have, and now something has gotten out. I'm loving the usage of magic in this book, and t...

Huge thank-you to Patricia for commissioning this episode! I'm so loving this book! We're really cooking with gas in these chapters, which focus on Christopher finally getting to the root of his issue with magic not working and managing to pull off some serious spellwork on his first try. He's so unprepared for how strongly his magic will respond that when he's asked to levitate a book, he manages...

Thank you so much to Shaun for purchasing another episode of Rome! I'm really looking forward to watching more, as I'm super interested in the politics of everything. This episode, I get what I thought I wanted with Lucius's reunion with his wife Niobe. However, there's been quite a bit going on since he went off to war, and although Niobe manages to convince him that the baby she's toting around...

Thank you to Michael for commissioning this episode! I'm so glad I'm getting to watch more of this wild show! This episode we get to see the team take on the mission that they were apparently send to this past for, and it brings up all kinds of questions. Now that our crew is done with the mission (or so they think anyway), can they ever go back? If they did, what happens? Does the body they're in...

This episode was commissioned by someone who is no longer with us. Jason Brough, who purchased this episode and several others, passed away unexpectedly last week due to an ongoing health issue. It was actually the same day as this recording, which he attended in the morning. I'm so sorry to say goodbye to someone who had become such a huge part of the UNspoiled! community in such a short space of...

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! I'm glad to be getting into this book a little deeper, because I am very curious about where it's going and have no real idea. These chapters, we get more of a look at Tessia and her training, which proves her to be really powerful and in better control than Jayan was within the same amount of time. So he's a little salty, and I'm over here wai...
