Join us for a discussion of the New York Times Bestseller novel Red, White & Royal Blue, by Casey McQuiston. We do readings for Leo season, V teaches Karen what Leo season is all about, we discuss the Strength card, do a mini deck review of the Llewellyn Tarot deck, and relate cards to book characters and themes. V also shares a spread inspired by themes from the book and we give it a try. Also, Karen did some research after realizing she was unaware of how to refer to Native Canadians, and some possibilities include Native Canadians, First Peoples, Indigenous Peoples of Canada, and Aboriginal Canadians. She apologizes. Please consider this a correction. Find images from this episode on Instagram @fabulousfoolstarot, where you can comment in our post with your thoughts on the book. If you try V's spread, tag us on Instagram and we'll check it out. The layout is up on the post for this episode. Thank you so much for your support.

In this episode we discuss books we have read lately: Emma by Jane Austen, and Aurora Blazing and Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik in her Consortium Rebellion trilogy. We do a fun card pull for what books you should read next, and pull cards based on themes in the books. We do touch on sex scenes and discuss consent, how it is done well by Mihalik and not well by others. If you wish to avoid these parts, they are at approximately 59:50-1:04:20 & 1:17:00-1:19:30. Find images from this episode on our Instagram @fabulousfoolstarot and share in the post comments your thoughts on these books. We also need to correct the language we used. It would have been more inclusive to use LGBTQIA+ rather than LGBTQ, and we apologize. Thank you for being our audience. If you enjoy the episode, please like, share, and subscribe.

Please find us on Instagram @fabulousfoolstarot for images from this episode and more. Thank you, and please enjoy our new original theme music by Russell Beard!
