    Friends! Apologies for the delay in posting, Karen's spent WAY too much time on Zoom recently. But school's almost out for summer!!

    If we can't leave our houses, let's take a mind vacation to through The Gate to Women's Country by the fabulous Sheri S. Tepper.

    We love you, stay safe and stay home.

  • S3 Ep 6 Katherine Palmer Peterson's Jacob Have I Loved

    What a blessed little time capsule of "before"! Karen was excited about time off! And so mad about not getting Elizabeth Warren for president. Kristin was so patient, and no one was worried about toilet paper.

    It's Katherine Palmer Peterson's Jacob Have I Loved and opinions abound!

    Next up: The Gate to Women's Country by Sheri S. Tepper!

  • S3 Ep 5 Anne McCaffrey's The Rowan

    Hello socially distant friends. We recorded this episode on March 6, and like, how many years ago was that?

    Nevertheless we persist in reading some Anne McCaffrey, enjoying (or not) the first book in her so-called Tower and Hive series, The Rowan.

    Next up: Jacob Have I Loved by Katherine Palmer Peterson

  • S3 Ep 4 ‎Gertrude Chandler Warner's The Boxcar Children

    Friends! We still love you! From a distance!

    Apologies for the delay in posting, moving took more out of Karen than she realized--but fear not we're back with a plucky story about terrifying children who smile all the time. It's the Boxcar Children, y'all and they are pleased to see you!

    Next up will be Anne McCaffery's The Rowan.

  • S3 Ep 3 Mary Norton's The Borrowers

    First, we do want to say that we'll miss Mary Higgens Clark--an era of storytelling has ended. MHC!

    But to perk things up, we offer you this delightful morsel, Mary Norton's The Borrowers. All the miniaturized home decor and fashion you could want!

  • S3 Ep 2 Mary Higgens Clark's I've Got You Under My Skin

    MHC!!! It's season three and we're breaking ALL the rules--we're reading a recent book by our ol' Mary Higgens Clark, I've Got You Under My Skin. And it is really something. Words were definitely printed on a page.

    Next up, back to the classics with The Borrowers by Mary Norton. AND YOU ARE WELCOME.

    Content Note: not *quite* as much racism, but ook the flippant approach to childhood sexual abuse...

  • S3 Ep 1 Danielle Steel's Message from Nam

    Happy Season Three!!!

    And wow do we have a doozy for you. Somehow Kristin suckered Karen into reading Danielle Steel's Message from Nam. As in Danielle Steel does the Civil Rights Movement AND the Vietnam War. It's ... a lot.

    CN:

    SO MUCH RACISM.

    Next Up: Mary Higgens Clark's I've Got You Under My Skin

  • S2 Ep 23 Ellen Raskin's The Westing Game

    We lied about Nancy Drew! We recorded out of sequence!

    This book is so delightful, friends. We're reading The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin and it is EVERYTHING. Also Kristin gives us hot stock tips and Karen completely loses it over the ending.

    Up next: Carolyn Keene's Secrets Can Kill (Nancy Drew Files #1)
