Aliza and Marissa are two Creative Writing Grads from Pratt Institute who LOVE books! Pratt gave us years of experience discussing books and being able to really identify the things we like or don't like. Our goal each week is not to find super amazing books we absolutely love, although that would be a nice treat. Our goal is to present new books to our listeners (and oftentimes ourselves) that they may not have had the opportunity to know about. Of course, we will throw in popular titles sometimes and keep up with the trends, because at the end of the day, we really just want to talk about Books! So join us weekly to discuss two new titles, maybe you'll discover something new, or maybe we will open your mind about an old favorite, either way we would love to have you!

Episode Ninety-Six: My Favorite Thing is Monsters
We've had some technical difficulties this week, but that is okay because this episode is one that Marissa has been waiting for for YEARS. The LSMR Ladies embrace this graphic novel and are so excited to just talk about it together. Plus you all get back to back episodes.

Episode Ninety-Five: The Gay Apocalypse
Happy Pride!!!! A bit of a short episode today but we're reading them gay books so you know it'll be a good one. Honestly, we both read really fun books this week too so it is a pretty great episode to get them recommendations.
Also I included a long rant at the end about 1) Liza's computer dying and 2) my Dead Hedgehog, because I thought it would be fun. -
Episode Ninety-Four: Weird Stuff
We picked some freaky weird very original books for today. You know we like that weird sh*t.

Episode Ninety-Three: Short Story Collections
A Short episode for some short stories! Riss and Liza were apart for this episode, but that doesn't mean the PARTY STOPS!
Also I have no idea how we are at episode 93, that is insanity. -
Episode Ninety-Two: YA Books We Missed
Dystopian YA books dominated our young teenage years and while Liza and Riss absorbed as many of them as possible, there are a few we just missed. For Liza it was "The Maze Runner" and for Riss it was "Divergent." Also please excuse our technical difficulties during this episode...we both have old sleepy computers.

Episode Ninety-One: AAPI Month!
Better late than never, right?! Sorry this is posted a little later than usual. Riss doesn't know her days this week. Here we are celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander Month! Oh May, how good you are to us.
