This week we’re reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes – The Hunger Games prequel – by Suzanne Collins.

We’re talking the things that don’t quite land, how hard it is to write a prequel and getting trapped by the magic of a hit series.

We’re also talking about the difference between characters you love and people you like, some of the easter eggs we were hoping to find in the novel and whether or not the musical element will land in the film adaption.

Harley is once again plotting the novel she wishes she’d read and Holly is trying to figure out who’s manipulating who in this story.

This Week we're reading Ink Blood Sister Scribe, A Good Morning America Book Club Pick by Emma Torzs

We're talking the power of young adult fiction, the pitfalls of publishing too fast and plots that don't quite land.

We're also talking the power of editing, why sometimes the solution is to steal better and all the things we wish we could do better.

Holly is wondering about whether or not the author has ever met an actual Australian and Harley is ranting about dogs on planes (it's related. We swear!).

This week we’re taking a stab at the questions we hear a lot.

Questions like how the hell do you read so much? Why on earth do you call yourself bimbos? And when are you guys going to branch out into movies?

We’re answering it all and going into detail about our natural reading habits, how we make consuming stories work for us and why we don’t have an editor as well as the pros and cons of being in the beginner stage of podcasting.

We also open the floor to more questions so if you want to know more about the mechanics of podcasting, our podcast and future plans or just about us in general get in touch and let us know for future episodes.

This week we're keeping it fun with a game of Would You Rather. 

Find out who's getting an army of snakes and come with us while we debate the merits of putting a book through a woodchipper.

Harley is traumatised by a lack of endings and Holly is crying in the bath with a Kindle and a Candle.

Hello Bimbos, Himbos and all the Limbos in between.

We're bad at coordinating our trips so we're taking a season break.

Join us for a super short episode while we discuss plans going in to Season Two, the STEEP learning curve from podcasting thus far and what we have planned for 'holiday' episodes.

See you next week for some mid season fun.

This week we're finishing our review of Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng.

We're talking books that make you question yourself, the casting call for the Amazon Prime miniseries and using favours to get power over people.

We're also talking the subtle brilliance of Celeste Ng's storytelling, the weight of impossible decisions and the dangers of prescriptive community planning.

Harley's giving Marvel credit both on and offscreen and Holly is binge watching the streaming adaption. Neither will be relocating to Shaker Heights.
