    Ep. 31 - Reviews of Classics from Contemporary Readers

    Hello hello! Back by popular (ish) demand, we bring you another compilation of hilarious and/or creative reviews from the vast abyss that is the internet. This time, we chose a list of reviews from modern readers on some of our favorite classics! The concept of casually reviewing "serious" literature is wildly amusing to us, and we hope you enjoy it too! Leave us a review if you enjoyed hanging out with us!

    Ep. 30 - A Spooky Special Interest: Anthropodermic Bibliopegy with Megan Rosenbloom

    Happy Halloween ghosts and ghouls! In preparation for spooky season, we had the absolute pleasure of recording their first author interview with the lovely Megan Rosenbloom! Her book Dark Archives: A Librarian's Investigation into the Science and History of Books Bound in Human Skin has became a quick obsession of Jess'. Listen in as we discuss the motives behind the making of books bound in human skin, the misconceptions of their true origin, and her experiences while writing Dark Archives! You can find Megan Rosenbloom on Instagram @libraryatnight.  Leave us a review if you enjoyed hanging out with us!

    Ep. 29 - Guess the Book from Comically Simplified Descriptions (Happy Anniversary BARS)

    Greetings fair listeners! This episode we bring you something of a challenge; a game, if you will. The rules are simple: take a book we've read and discussed, give a hilariously bare-bones description of the plot, and see if the other person can guess which book. Come join us, and feel free to play along! Leave us a review if you enjoyed hanging out with us!

    Ep. 27 - Anno-Trending: A Court of Books & Babes

    Well dear listeners, we've finally done it. We read A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. As much as we tried to resist it, the Maasverse has dragged us in... and we may have dragged a friend in for a buddy read with us. This episode goes over the characters, the whimsy, the romance, and the thematic depth (or lack thereof) of the one, the only, ACOTAR. Join us!  Leave us a review if you enjoyed hanging out with us!
