Firing up with some craft talk, we quickly dive into the final installment in Philip Pullman's Golden Compass universe, which is, well, sad. For lots of reasons. But also incredibly powerful and full of love. Oh, and we've got a couple less weighty things, too, including a comic book and time travel novel with some "funny torture." Oh, and some "Heated Rivalry" chit-chat. This fortnight, we read:

1. "A Long Game: Notes on Writing Fiction," by Elizabeth McCracken
2. "The Book of Dust: The Rose Field," by Philip Pullman
3. "George Falls Through Time," by Ryan Collett
4. "Physics for Cats," by Tom Gauld

What sound effects did we give each of these books? You'll just have to listen and find out!
