- DeMyth Turns the Page With Saara El-Arifi
Lauren had a Sapphic Summer reading the book... and a Sapphic September talking to Saara but Sapphic is for every season! What better way to celebrate Black History Month too than "The Final Strife" which is an epic fantasy that takes inspiration from Saara's heritage, Arabian myths and Ghanain folklore.

1 hr 37 min - DeMyth Turns the Page With Anita Jari Kharbanda
Lioness of Punjab is historical YA fiction with a main character that is EVERYTHING Lauren wanted. Learning about Mai Bhago with Anita Jari Kharbanda was an absolute privilage and Lauren reccomends the book to everyone. Anita clearly did her research and tells us a story that blends her own fictionalisation with real historical details about the real Mai Bhago and it was an absolute joy. Plus she teaches Lauren about Sikh culture and tradition.

1 hr 25 min - DeMyth Turns the Page With Natalie Haynes
Just over a year ago Charlotte and Lauren created a podcast and dreamed that one day Natalie Haynes would come on and talk to them. Somehow by miracle of the Olympians she agreed and they timed the episode to celebrate and discuss her newest novel StoneBlind. Obviously the girls couldn't miss out the opportunity for a quick tour where they touch on Children of Jocasta, A Thousand Ships and Pandora's Jar too. They also play "Swan, Marry, Kill" with Natalie because they needed to lower the tone atleast a little bit at the end (it's what Zeus would have wanted).
