Fairytales are amazing on their own, but when you put a special twist in, the results are nothing less than perfect. Today, we're diving into our favourite fairytale reimaginings and retellings and discussing what makes them great, which fairytale we'd love to be retold into, genie-mermaids, and more!

The Holy Trinity. These tropes have been out for decades and continue to please us to this day. We're here to shine a light on these stories- new or old, fallen angels or gothic vampires and hope you enjoy the ride! We also talk Twilight, tropes we love, our favourite movie snacks, and more.

*Long sigh*. It's a tragedy, how many amazing books there are in the world that don't have thriving fandoms. We understand this horrible occurrence well, and we're here today to rope you into reading these books so that we don't have to fangirl alone! It's a whole, wide range of genres spanning Thriller to Realism and hope that you will jump on the bandwagon of loving these books too!

You've heard of one-star reviews, but the ones that we've collected for you today are some sort of whole new level. There's roasting, there's hating, there's... poetry? Prepare yourselves for a crazy ride as we laugh our way through these cracking reviews. We also discuss what our current obsessions are (Hey-no judging!) while outing ourselves to strangers online. This is fine.

Here it is! The second part to our Harry Potter talk. This episode is all about the wonderful, thriving Harry Potter fandom of crackships and fanfiction. We're coming to you with some sorting of characters from other books (Charlie- Wandering Wild, Niyx- Akarnae, Bryce- Crescent City, and Rhiannon- Fourth Wing) and a fun fanfiction guessing game! We also discuss our favourite ships, fan theories, headcanons and more!

Welcome to our discussion all about Harry Potter! The love, hate, and no politics (you're welcome). We were devastated when we didn't receive our Hogwarts letters, and we now have a probably unhealthy love that we will now be expressing onto you all! We talk favourite magical creatures, moments, controversial opinions, what we want to see in the HBO show, and more! (Which may include losing our credibility- yikes!)

Hi everybody! This is a quick announcement just to say we won't be posting an episode this week. Sorry! We will be back in two weeks, though so look out for that.

See you soon!

Oof.

Yep. These were baaaaaad. The books that had us clenching our fists and questioning what are we really doing with our lives. We formally apologise to anyone who likes these books. Join us as we ask ourselves: What makes a book cringey? What are tropes or lines you hate? Are there any books where you liked the cringe? We also have a mystery opener, so prepare yourselves for a treat.

Unfortunately we will not be posting an episode in two weeks time due to family arrangements. We'll be back two weeks after that though!
