    Ep 30 - Persepolis

    Ep 29 - The Bell Jar

    Ep 29 - The Bell Jar

    TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of suicide.
    What do UN interpreters, tuberculosis, and turkey necks have to do with dating? Ask Esther. Our main character in the novel The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath navigates her world while struggling with depression and it is sometimes funny, sometimes suffocating, sometimes nothing - all, real. This semi-autobiographical novel is a classic for a reason. Sylvia Plath writes with nuance.

    Ep 28 - Kindred

    Happy Black History Month! And we got Octavia Butler. That's right, in this time-traveling quinkydink, we jump from 2021 back to 1976...and 1815! The novel Kindred connects two ancestors across generations, plus or minus an arm.
    Continuing our year of women and writers who are POC, enjoy! You might just learn a thing or two about a redhead.

    Ep 27 - Fifty Shades of Grey

    Episode 27. Year 2021. What could go wrong? Well, 50 Shades. Tricia picked a title that sent us „starting the year off with shit“ as Sarah puts it. Fitting? E.L. James wrote Fifty Shades of Grey and we sift through all 50 red flags of this relationship.

    Ep 25 - World War Z

    Ep 25 - World War Z

    A pandemic, an election and a shooting. It was not easy to find a book that was even darker than the real world these days. So we decided to throw some zombies into the mix. In this month's episode we talk about World War Z. Here's to hoping that this stays a dystopian fiction.
