September 23, 2024 Pride and Prejudice Mini Series: Episode Four
We've got some new-ish episodes heading your way. We've been taking a little break for a while now, and have had these ones sitting around waiting to be posted. As we head into reading our next book - Persuasion - we'll be posting some of these old records while you wait!

In this episode T is said that there is less gayness, likes Judy Dench better, and compares this episode to Twilight. Kate is still a super fan who is there for all the wet t-shirts and pinky rings. Come join us and have some fun!

September 11, 2023 Northanger Abbey - Chapters 30-31
This episode we finish off Northanger Abbey. We discuss a little bit more about the Morland household and how Mrs. Morland is as a parent. We discuss how much we love Henry and the way romance plays out at the end of this book. We discuss how much we LOOOOOOOVE Jane Austen and how she's really smart about her romance writing and letting her audience fill in the blanks with their own imaginings. AND we compare to Pride and Prejudice, discuss future books, and celebrate that we've successfully made Theresa read another Jane Austen novel! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

August 30, 2023 Northanger Abbey - Chapters 27-29
In this episode we discuss our final thoughts on Isabella - is she a victim, a villain, or something in between? We discuss Catherine's anxiety - both how it's relatable and ridiculous. We discuss our love for the Tilney's, their secure attachment, and their love for Catherine. Once Catherine makes it home after her shocking booting from Northanger Abbey, we discuss the Morland household and Catherine's growth. And of course - as always - we discuss why Henry Tilney is the best! BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!

July 23, 2023 Northanger Abbey - Chapters 24-26
These three chapters are Kate's three chapters - and we talk about WHY! Catherine has convinced herself that General Tilney is a murderer - and she has to find her way back to Mrs Tilney's bedroom to finish her investigation. But in classic Scooby-Doo mystery fashion - Catherine realizes that she's been making up her own ghost story. We discuss Catherine's fall back to reality - and how being caught by Henry is the one who unmasks the villain! (The villain is Catherine's imagination)

And HENRY! Omg - he is amazing. Not only is he a perfect example of secure attachment - he supports her through the end of her friendship with Isabella and the emotional fall out. We love him soooooo much!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

June 13, 2023 Northanger Abbey - Chapters 21-23
We're sorry we've been away! But here we are and we're finally getting to know Northanger Abbey. We both agree that Catherine seems to tell herself stories because not much happens for her day to day. The idea of hiding under the sheets to hide from the scary things your brain has conjured up, doesn't seem that far fetched to either of us. What's in the chest! What's in the cabinet! It just seems like a way an anxious brain sometimes works. T is still trying to figure out General Tilney, but at this point we can conclude they do not like him. "Red Flag! Red Flag! Red Flag!" Catherine is trying to distract Henry with flowers, and his flirting is going straight over her head. MURDER! Someone could have possibly maybe been murdered, and T isn't down for the logical leaps. Catherine Morland - cute goth - She'd really fit into a Scooby Doo Mystery.

April 17, 2023 Northanger Abbey - Chapters 18-20
We're finally making our way to Northanger Abbey... but first we have to endure a little bit more of Isabella Thorpe. Catherine is greatly confused by Isabella flirting with Captain Tilney, but much like Henry neither of us is surprised. We get some decent flirting in these chapters between Henry and Catherine. Henry Tilney continues to be the embodiment of sweet caring secure attachment. Who wouldn't want a boyfriend who drives well and tells you horror stories to get you excited to see his family home. T does try to compare John Thorpe and Mr Darcy, but we will forgive them that because they were trying to make a point. Come on down and have some fun while we make our way through the dark caverns of Northanger Abbey.

April 03, 2023 Northanger Abbey - Chapters 15-17
Things are heating up! This episode we've got some dialectics, some grey rocking, some amazing flirting, and some sparkle goths. Join us while we complain about Isabella being Isabella, while we gush about how Catherine handles interpersonal conflict so well, and while we (mostly Kate) sing Tilney's praises!

Do you think Catherine would be the most optimistic goth you've ever met? Did your parents arrange your play dates? Are you excited to be getting out of Bath and away from the horrible Thorpes?

February 14, 2023 Northanger Abbey - Chapters 12-14
We're back! Whoo! Theresa is happier - cause we got more Tilney and less John Thorpe! We love Catherine standing up for herself and setting those boundaries and taking action. <3 We love Tilney! TILNEY! We talk about healthy communication and cute flirting. :) We hate the Thorpes. Seriously... they are the worst! We meet General Tilney.... The Allens step up. We finally get our walk! They talk about BOOKS! Eleanor and Henry are cute and kind and silly siblings. Catherine is sweet and thoughtful.

Theresa has predictions... Is Catherine a murdered? Will Generally Tilney be covering up a murder? They don't know but a murder must happen! Kate is biting their tongue and not giving anything away. Come join us and have fun. Whether you've read Northanger Abbey before or it's your first time, come enjoy some silly sibling mental health chat.
