    44 - Harry Potter and The Two Sisters Who Drink

    COUPLE DISCLAIMERS: In our first Harry Potter episode (episode 31) we go into deep detail about how much we dislike JKR and her sentiments towards transgender women. We make this episode in good fun, without supporting the author. No. 2: This is a drunk episode which is much different from our usual content, so be warned and enjoy.   Let's get to it, drunkasode number two! We bring you fun drinking games, and our takes on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. We love this book, but of course can only take it so seriously. Play along and let us know what you think!

    43 - The White Girl Hunger Games

    Welcome to the Regency Hunger Games! Where this week we try to get everyone in England married, but only to the suitor within one's station of course. We're so excited to share this funny and romantic episode of one of our fav Austen novels. There's drama and silliness and too many Twilight references: may the odds be ever in your favor.  Let's be friends! Instagram Twitter

    We're back with Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper! A dark and twisted short story about a woman's descent into madness. Our protagonist has everything going against her as her husband forces the rest cure onto her: isolation and zero mental stimulation. She becomes obsessed with the wallpaper in her bedroom and it slowly drives her insane.  Let's be Friends! Instagram Twitter

    40 - Circe: The Original Baddie

    This week Kailin is doing a solocast with Madeline Miller's Circe. Wow this book is amazing, go read it. The end.  No, but really it's amazing, we see Circe's entire life as she grows into her power as this incredible witch. Miller's second installment is just as fanatical and beautiful as the first, I enjoyed this book so much. The feminism and the power that comes from Circe's story is stunning, you won't want to miss it.  Let's be friends! Instagram Twitter

    39 - Sisters Rule and Boys Drool

    We're reading To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han. This ooey gooey teen romance is like biting into a warm cookie; it's like sitting in the sunshine while the birds chirp. You will not regret this really sweet book about Lara Jean and her adventures into high school boys. Not to mention, this book portrays the nuances of sisterhood like none other. If you have sisters you will 10/10 relate to this book.  Let's be friends! Instagram Twitter

    38 - Justice for Medusa and Persephone Our Queen of the Dead

    This week we're talking about most classic stories: myths. We're talking Medusa, Persephone and Hades, and Orpheus and Eurydice. We love bringing some 21st century nuance to these ancient myths, and it brings us to realize Papa Poseidon and f*ck boy Zeus really suck. At the end we play a fun game and try to cast the new Percy Jackson series that's coming to Disney+.  Let's be friends! Instagram Twitter

    37 - We Both Cry at the End

    They're aaaaaalive!! After an unintentional hiatus the TYS sisters are back with Adam Silvera's They Both Die at the End. This YA contemporary fiction gives away the ending, but is anything but predictable. Mateo and Rufus bond over their mutual doom, and find some meaning in their short lives along the way. We're so happy we're back and better than ever! Let's be friends!! Instagram  Twitter
