    RTFB: Episode 28 - The Lies of Locke Lamora

    Long promised and not forgotten, Elena and Rachel are back to talk about the gentleman bastards of The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. It's a bit of a heist, a bit of a mystery, with a lot of swashbuckling flair and enormously engrossing world-building.  As always, beware spoilers!   Also, check out our other podcast covering Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings, Buckkeep Radio!  Follow us on twitter @RTFBPodcast Rec your favorites to us or join in the discussion!   NEXT BOOK: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells   Theme from "Books" by Jahzzar

    RTFB: Episode 26 - Gideon the Ninth

    Rachel rec'd her favorite book of the year for this spooky-season episode of RTFBPodcast and Elena loved it. We're reading Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. The story of a smart-ass sword fighter and the necromancer she loves/hates (and there's MURDER). Come for the skeletons! Stay for the emotions! Gideon the Ninth is like nothing you've read before. Rejoice, the sequel (Harrow the Ninth) is out June 2020. #GriddleForever   Also, check out our new podcast covering Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings, Buckkeep Radio!    Follow us on twitter @RTFBPodcast Rec your favorites to us or join in the discussion!

    RTFB: Episode 25 - Warbreaker

    We are back after our summer off! We're reading Brandon Sanderson's Warbreaker. This is Elena's first dip into the Cosmere and Rachel's favorite of Sanderson's works. We talk about why fantasy is a great space to write about religion, why Nightblood is our favorite and debate the husbandly merits of Vasher vs Lightsong. #OhHiHoid   Also, check out our new podcast covering Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings, Buckkeep Radio!      Follow us on twitter @RTFBPodcast Rec your favorites to us or join in the discussion!

    RTFB: Episode 24 - The Raven Tower

    We can't stay away from Ann Leckie! We read her full-length Fantasy debut, The Raven Tower. This one is a vengeance gig with gods (rocks, swarms, forests, talking snakes and more!), murder mysteries and subtly complicated twists and turns. Take a listen for a spoiler-filled discussion.   #ReckonThis Follow us on twitter @RTFBPodcast Rec your favorites to us or join in the discussion! NEXT BOOK: Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson

    RTFB: Episode 23.5 - Heir to the Shadows/Queen of the Darkness

    As promised, a supplementary episode discussing the rest of Anne Bishop's Black Jewels trilogy. The Content Warning is still in effect while we decide what works, what we wish was different and, ultimately, why this trilogy is so compelling and influential.    #SaetanNeedsSelfCare   Follow us on twitter @RTFBPodcast Rec your favorites to us or join in the discussion!

    RTFB: Episode 23 - Daughter of the Blood

    Elena and Rachel read Anne Bishop's Daughter of the Blood in this episode of RTFBPodcast. Lots of similarities to some of our other favorites with a few caveats that made us give our first Content Warning (rape, incest, sexual violence, pedophilia).  Talking through what we liked and what made us uncomfortable brought a greater enjoyment of the story and for levity... there ARE magical c**k rings. Oh and uh, NSFW. Use those headphones!   #LucivarSeemsNice   Follow us on twitter @RTFBPodcast Rec your favorites to us or join in the discussion!
