    Witches, Dark Wizards, and Dishonorable Knights in Shining Armor - Between Part 1: 10-17

    Witches’ Meeting, Shadow Mirror Lorn, and Blondie’s Debut  Between by L.L. Starling Read-Along (Spoiler-Free) Book Dragon Banter (Zinzi Bree, Katherine, and Sage) continues a spoiler-free buddy read of Between by L.L. Starling, discussing a chapter section packed with revelations and humor. They unpack the witches’ coven meeting, Sasha and Lyla “potioning” the witches, and new information about dreamers, portals, and why Sasha’s sleep opens multiple gateways. The hosts debate the High King’s authority, Lorn’s power and marks, and the suspicious “Mirror Lorn,” nicknamed “Shadow Daddy Lorn,” after Sasha makes a magically binding promise. They highlight Lyla’s research, Between as a sentient land with an agenda, the three types of marriage (joining, promising, bonding), and the escalating threats from knights and dark wizards. Favorite moments include the sketchbook/abs jokes and Blondie/Ash’s comedic kidnapping attempt, plus predictions about Halloween and hidden betrayals. Homework is Part 1: Chapters 18 through the Epilogue.

    Welcome to Old Middleton - Between Buddy Read Part 1: Prologue thru Chapter 9

    Between by L.L. Starling Read-Along (Prologue & Ch. 1–9) | Old Middleton Witches, Dream Magic & First Theories Book Dragon Banter introduces a spoiler-free buddy read of L.L. Starling’s Between, with Zinzi rereading and Sage and Katherine reading blind. They explain the read-along format, discuss formats (ebook vs dual-narration audiobook with Emily Ellett and Steve West), and note alternate October “tandem read” options. Covering chapters 1–9, they share first impressions of Sasha and her best friend Lyla, the quirky, suspicious town of Old Middleton, and early guesses about which residents are witches based on shared wrist tattoos. They unpack the prologue’s purpose, Sasha’s truth-potion oversharing, and the dream-world encounters with Hillman, debating his role, motives, and “shadow daddy” potential. The episode ends with homework: chapters 10–17, plus where to find the podcast and related writing resources.

    All About Ilona Andrews' Books!

    Finished This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me? What Ilona Andrews Series Should You Read Next (Spoiler-Free) Book Dragon Banter hosts Zinzi Bree, Katherine, and Sage discuss what to read next after Ilona Andrews’ This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me, staying mostly spoiler-free while comparing series across the authors’ backlog. They highlight Ilona Andrews’ new app for tracking reading, taking a series quiz, and accessing snippets and bonus fiction. Sage shares reading Magic Bites (Kate Daniels) and liking the writing and worldbuilding but hesitating over the werewolf romance and unsettling vampires. The hosts pitch Kate Daniels for action and sword-fight energy, Hidden Legacy for house politics and bloodline magic, Innkeeper Chronicles for a fantasy/sci-fi inn with cozier problem-solving and a later vampire-focused installment, and the Kinsmen Universe novellas as quick, fun, spicy-leaning reads. They also discuss cover redesigns, suggest graphic audio editions, recommend The Inheritance, and advise skipping the darker one-off Alpha: Origins, then plan Sage’s reading order: Kinsmen now and Innkeeper starting in November.

    Cozy vs. Creepy Fall TBR: Witches, Vampires, Haunted Houses & Spicy Orc Romance  Book Dragon Banter hosts Zinzi Bree, Sage, and Katherine share fall TBR picks and discuss whether they read seasonally (cozy vs. creepy) based on mood or climate, plus announce HearthCon panels on Oct. 3–4.

The group also highlights creepier or atmospheric reads like Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House series, Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, The Historian, The Golem and the Jinni, The Night Circus, Fangs Divide Us, Don’t Let the Forest In, Mexican Gothic, Practical Magic, Garden Spells, One Dark Window, The Scorpio Races, Starling House, and The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy, and notes Banned Book Week in October.

They start with a “who said it” quote quiz featuring lines from characters, then play “most likely to” about Kair Toren characters in real-world scenarios (zombie apocalypse survival, worst texter, who cries at sad movies, best advice, late to their wedding, skinny-dipping, free birthday cake, Netflix bingeing, bathroom habits, losing phones, tripping, bringing home strays, and apologizing after fights). They also discuss what jobs characters might have on Earth and end with fan-casting ideas.

    Not A Read Along Episode?

    Podcast Updates + What We’re Reading Next? | Book Dragon Banter The hosts of Book Dragon Banter (Zinzi, Sage, and Katherine) share podcast updates including a new Thursday release day, a meet-up opportunity at From Milwaukee With Love/Meet Me on North on September 12, and an endorsement of Ilona Andrews’ new app with name spellings, maps, and extras. They then debate what book to cover next after noticing another podcast is already doing their planned read-along, discussing comparison, audience time limits, staying unique, and whether to pivot or adjust their format to cover a duology faster and possibly align with a sequel release. They weigh covering trending new releases versus elevating backlist favorites, mention several possible options, and ultimately reveal the planned pick, asking listeners for recommendations and input.
