Em was out of town on a work trip and Niamh had some very big life events happen so we decided not to read this week but instead yap about what’s been going on. Em did spend 5 hours on a plane reading, however, so she has a lot of book to catch up on.

Things Discussed: Em in Texas, Nia’s big announcement, Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth-Century America, fancy meals, cocktail thoughts, Umamusume

See the show schedule here! This’ll tell you which versions of books and which sections of those books we’re reading each week.

Niamh podcasts on Export Audio with Ghost Divers and Ornate Stairwells. Fae posts on bluesky at foxmomnia.exportaud.io and on twitter @foxmomnia

Em hosts Abnormal Mapping and Repertory Screenings on abnormalmapping.com and also is the Pokemon Master of Ceremonies on The Great Gundam Project. She posts on bluesky at shirokumahi.me and on twitter @em_being

Next episode: The Iliad, book 10, from The Iliad, Homer, trans. Emily Wilson (W. W. Norton & Company)
