Age Inappropriate: A Podcast for Book Nerds

In the first of the ZKS doubleheader, Kristin and Karen talk The Egypt Game, the timeline of 1960s porn, offer college reading tips, and finally answer the question "Is April Hall the most tragic of children's lit heroes?"

Suggested pairing:

The Great Secret

2/3 Dry Gin, 1/3 Lillet, 1 ds Angostura. Shake and strain

Content notes:

Child murder and abuse

Kristin and Karen talk about how haunted dolls are (very), mothers, aunts, head cannon, and why it's weird to fetishize twins. And also some about Betty Ren Wright's The Dollhouse Murders.

Content Note:

Mental health, developmental delay, families.

In our second episode, we talk Anne McCaffrey's Dragonflight, the first book in the (in)famous Dragonriders of Pern series. A pairing for this could be klah but you might be better off with some good red (Benden) wine.

We argue time travel paradoxes vs secret religious themes, speculate on McCaffrey's relationship with her mother, and tell our first kiss stories! One from a closet and one from a Con!

Our next episode will be Betty Ren Wright's The Dollhouse Murders

This episode also comes with a soundtrack--aren't you lucky!

Content Note:

Rape, Suicide

For our inaugural episode, we talk about Avi's The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. A suggested beverage pairing is a Dark & Stormy.

The Twilight blog we couldn't remember is: Reasoning with Vampires

Friends, this book reads differently at 36 than it did at 8.

The next episode will be Anne McCaffrey's Dragonflight.

Content Note:

Rape, Slavery

Kristin and Karen are pleased to introduce Age Inappropriate, coming to a podcasting platform near you! Posting a new episode every other Wednesday.

We will discuss the books of our childhood, the ones we should have been reading and the ones that maybe weren't age appropriate. Young Adult fiction, pulp mystery novels, haunted dollhouses, dragons, and pirates! We will also veer wildly off topic.

For Episode 1--We'll be talking about Avi's The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle!
