Hell is an Owl Swear
Today’s Reading: The Journey, chapters 1 - 12
The book’s title is The Journey, so this is just a travelogue, right? On our way we’ll encounter Twilight’s incredible musical stylings, frightening uncertainty about the sentience of other birds, and the good word of Glaux. And PB won’t fail a character-name quiz.

The Band adapts to their new lives at the Great Ga’Hoole Tree, PB takes a vocabulary test, CJ talks Ezylryb and ableism, and everyone agrees – not very much happens in this book.

Customer Reviews
utterly owl-inspiring
what a fun nostalgia trip! I love a good read-along podcast and PB and CJ clearly love the subject matter.
10/10 just for the pun title
This is something special. This was childhood book series and I’m here for the tongue in cheek humor of this show.
