Adult Book Club

We deep dive Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo with spoilers between 1:04 and 1:46. We spend a lot of time on the backstory and setting on this book. We talk about the confusion we felt when trying to remember the different houses and timelines as well as which twists we saw coming and which ones we did not. We have things we missed from previous episodes, random recommendation and the first tears of the podcast are shed as we share ghost stories. Enjoy!

We feature People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry. Spoilers are between the 54 and 1:50 minute marks. We discuss love, friendship, putting yourself out there and the importance of communication as well as travel and some of our experiences. First ever book club within a book club happens during current selection and then Russ gets heated talking about his latest read! Enjoy!

We feature The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson. Spoilers are between 1:04-1:54. We have a quick host catch up before we jump into the book. Then we discuss the book and different meanings we found within it about spaces between worlds as well as different choices/chances that could have led our lives on very different paths. We finish with our DnD based score for the book, current selection and random recommendation. Enjoy!

We feature The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune and are almost brought to tears! We discuss how Klune uses the events and story of this fantasy world in order to shine a light on issues in ours. We also discuss the ideas of found family and home. Spoilers are between the 1:12 and 1:51 marks. We also have a triumphant first on the podcast in relation to this book so be sure to listen!

We cap it off with current selection, random recommendation, our DnD scores for the book and a preview of which book will be featured next!

In episode 8 we highlight WIN, the latest book by Harlan Coben. Because it is a mystery/thriller and Coben is a man of many twists and turns, spoilers run long in this episode from the 43:00 to the 96:00 minute marks. Apart from the book we also discuss our minimal experiences in high class living, get more in depth with our grading system, talk about what other books we've been reading and get some input from the third podcast member Bryce (the dog). Enjoy!

We have host catchup, the importance of names, a deeper dive into the books we've been reading and even take the time to improvise a potion similarly to how Harry would in the book! This one's a bit longer than normal, but we hope you enjoy it!

We cover Gork, The Teenage Dragon by Gabe Hudson on the show. It's a bit chaotic and all over the place, but stick with us; even through spoilers! We have a first in our grading system this week that you surely don't want to miss and stay to the end to find out which book we will cover next!

We discuss Kristin Lambert's debut YA novel The Boy in the Red Dress with spoilers between the 55th and 88th minute.
