Content Warning: Abusive relationships

In this episode, Tori and Michelle are discussing Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones! The second fanpick! They get into some heavy discussion of abusive relationships as well as some of the positive lessons in the book that make it great for children. Since it's still quarantine time, they're both still a bit loopy and generally enthused to get to talk to each other.

Content Warnings: Racism, nonconsensual drug use, abusive relationship, ableism

In this episode, Tori and Michelle cover all of A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. They go on slightly more rants than normal, get pretty tipsy and did I mention the rants?

There was a lot less fun witch talk than Tori had been hoping for when she chose this book.

(I tried so hard to pick a book we'd like, listeners!)

Content warning: Consent issues

In the second half of Bunny and the Bear, Tori and Michelle discuss rabbit cryptids, medical care consent and world building. It's a bit of a mess, folks. Us and the book.

This is also another distance episode, so I apologize for any sound issues. It's at least all audible, if a bit different.
