Ep 19 - The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
Welcome back for another episode my lovelies! This week we return to my first love, a book discussion! We’re talking about The 7 (½) Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton, a murder mystery type book that took the internet by storm.
In this novel, our protagonist wakes up in a body and situation he can’t remember, but all he knows is Evelyn Hardcastle is to be murdered tonight unless he can solve who’s behind it. But the thing is, every time our protagonist wakes up, he’s a different guest in attendance at this Blackheath Manor. Can our guy figure out this mystery and break out of this murder loop? Tune in to find out!

Ep 18 - State of the Cosmere
Hello my lovelies, it’s time to buckle up and get ready for the release of Brandon Sanderson’s new book, The Lost Metal, which releases November 15! In this episode, we’re gonna revisit the previous novel, The Bands of Mourning, as well as travel through the Cosmere for a refresher of all the relevant events going on. If you couldn’t tell, there’s a LOT going on and I'm passionate about it! Loads of spoilers, so beware.
As always, thank you for the love and support, and enjoy!

Ep 17 - Attack on Titan Season 4 does TLOU2 Better than TLOU2
Girl, what is you talking about?? Yes guys, this episode is the definition of "when world's collide"! In this episode, we are diving deep into why I think Attack on Titan does the story that The Last of Us Part 2 attempted to tell a thousand times better, and why it is the superior story. Didn't think these two things were related? Well, think again! And sorry guys, if you haven't finished both of these games/anime, you'll have to sit this one out.

Ep 15 - Beyonce said, WE OUTSIDE
Welcome back my lovelies! This week on the podcast, we're getting weird and we're talking about Beyonce's latest album, Renaissance! But this isn't your average album review, we're gonna do a deep dive into this surprise house music album - the history of house music, the samples used throughout the album, and the importance Renaissance has for both the house music industry as well as music as a whole. Get your notebooks out, this one is full of note-worthy info!

Ep 14 - Wheel of Time Show FUMBLED the Bag
Guys, we've got a lot to talk about when it comes to Wheel of Time... both the book and the show. This episode, Gabriele dives deep into the Eye of the World novel by Robert Jordan, and compares how the Amazon original show stacks up against the source material. Long story short, we've got a lot of feelings about this!

Customer Reviews
A Refreshingly Approachable Podcast
I love this podcast because it provides a down-to-earth perspective on book reviews. Podcasts often feel rigid and unapproachable, but I found myself laughing along with Gabriele and feeling her sincere enthusiasm through the speakers. I also admire that she breaks down books in a single take, no easy feat. If you want to learn more about a book in a way that feels like you’re sitting down with your best friend, this podcast is for you.
