November 25, 2022 Ep 19 - The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
Welcome back for another episode my lovelies! This week we return to my first love, a book discussion! We’re talking about The 7 (½) Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton, a murder mystery type book that took the internet by storm.
In this novel, our protagonist wakes up in a body and situation he can’t remember, but all he knows is Evelyn Hardcastle is to be murdered tonight unless he can solve who’s behind it. But the thing is, every time our protagonist wakes up, he’s a different guest in attendance at this Blackheath Manor. Can our guy figure out this mystery and break out of this murder loop? Tune in to find out!

November 11, 2022 Ep 18 - State of the Cosmere
Hello my lovelies, it’s time to buckle up and get ready for the release of Brandon Sanderson’s new book, The Lost Metal, which releases November 15! In this episode, we’re gonna revisit the previous novel, The Bands of Mourning, as well as travel through the Cosmere for a refresher of all the relevant events going on. If you couldn’t tell, there’s a LOT going on and I'm passionate about it! Loads of spoilers, so beware.

As always, thank you for the love and support, and enjoy!

October 28, 2022 Ep 17 - Attack on Titan Season 4 does TLOU2 Better than TLOU2
Girl, what is you talking about?? Yes guys, this episode is the definition of "when world's collide"! In this episode, we are diving deep into why I think Attack on Titan does the story that The Last of Us Part 2 attempted to tell a thousand times better, and why it is the superior story. Didn't think these two things were related? Well, think again! And sorry guys, if you haven't finished both of these games/anime, you'll have to sit this one out.

February 25, 2020 Ep 10 - Lullaby
Buckle your seat belts and put on your reading glasses, because this week Gabriele is talking about the bizarre story of Lullaby, by Chuck Palahniuk. Listener discretion is advised!

Reporter Carl Streator is investigating SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) for a piece at his newspaper, when report after report floods in of mysteriously dead infants, a little too convenient to all be SIDS cases. The only linking information is a book present in each nursery: Poems and Rhymes from around the world, all open to page 27. Does this lullaby have something to do with it? And what happens when Carl memorizes the poem on accident? Tune in to find out!
