To keep our spirits up on this bittersweet day Dan gets us warmed up with an update on his dance moves (9:20 to skip). Messing with time is super overpowered, but reading Fate is maybe underpowered? Multiple Drosses is awesome and also a little suspicious. Finally, we wrap up with our thoughts on the end of this epic series.

Next week we’re starting Iron Gold by Pierce Brown (Book 4 of the Red Rising series)

Dan takes a stand (2:55). Sol is simultaneously way better and way worse somehow. Dan wants to know your eternal replay highlight and Luke invents the stranger protocol. Today is the day you should start farming, but beware the Tomb Spark bovine.

The post Bastion: Part Two first appeared on Don't call it a book club..

Dan’s laboratory skills are failing him in his quest for the perfect biscuit (9:10 to skip). We’ve got some critiques for the academy’s methods, but in the interest of fairness there are some things they’re doing right. Gruel fountains? Yes please! And if the pod doesn’t work out we’re gonna take up farming these black star plants.

We’re so excited to start our progression fantasy tour that we have no warmup today. Hugh breaks a record for worst start to a book and is missing out on cool demon powers. Dan is in rare form today with both a big theory and a new business idea.

Next week we continue our tour with Bastion by Phil Tucker, and check out our most recent Patreon episode released today!

The post Into the Labyrinth first appeared on Don't call it a book club..

Time to reinvent the blood pact (10:33 to skip). Luke and Dan reveal just how dystopian this future is and remind you to always backup your data. Frequently. Unless you are trying to dunk.

The post Rogue Protocol first appeared on Don't call it a book club..

Warmup today is about ideal social outings and our new business idea (13:15 to skip). Dino nuggies make a surprise appearance and smart appliances are getting out of control. Also why are the comfortUnits so strong??

The post Artificial Condition first appeared on Don't call it a book club..

Who is Leck, really? How could Po be this dumb? Who has the best plan and why does it include a net? Which captain would you rather serve under? Luke and Dan are out here asking the real questions.

The post Graceling: Part Two first appeared on Don't call it a book club..

Learn a little bit about how surprisingly organized junkyards are in today’s warmup (12:55 to skip). Come to our pod to focus on the important questions like how good can a Graced juggler really be? Stick around for our theories on evil councils and how the dogs are actually all OK.

We have a double warm up here starting with urban planning talk and speed running sunroofs (11:44 to skip). Big oof on this ending. Luke and Dan start by begging these rich people to stop procreating. Get yourself a hive mind barber. Also, ghosts or naw?

Also we totally misspelled the last episode on purpose as like, a cool literary thing.

The post Leech: Part Two first appeared on Don't call it a book club..

As promised Dan gives a report on the wedding and has been working on his baking skills (6:00 to skip). Your favorite leech has a problem and we’re solving it by designing the perfect doctor’s exam. We’ve also got some notes on how you survive the winter at this Chateau, and we’re not giving the doctor any more dynamite!
