    Her - Harriet Lane

Nothing to do with the Spike Jonze film this is, in fact, a story about obsession and a dangerous game of cat and mouse between Nina and Emma.  To defend this book we have    In our show we take a look at the books that everyone seems to hate.

    Barry Trotter and the Unauthorised Parody - Michael Gerber

    Michael Gerber's take on the wizarding world, a self-proclaimed "all for a quick buck" parody of the multi-billion-dollar earning franchise. As a note here: there will be mentions of that writer and that work but this was also recorded in early 2018, just before her dive off into very public transphobia and litigious bigotry so the panel would not have been aware of that. Ah, hindsight. That being said, at the time of recording Barry Trotter had a healthy 2.85 stars on goodreads. Defending this work of parody is the wonderful Lisa!
