It’s finally time for a new series back at Throwback Paperback, and we’re diving into the cult-classic Inkheart trilogy by Cornelia Funke. We return to fantasy, and let’s just say both hosts have plenty of feedback. While neither of us have read the books before, they come highly recommended, so we enter with high expectations. Does the book live up to them? It is worth noting that for a change Asia does a lot of the predicting this week instead of Charles. How do you think her predictions worked out?

​Next week we will be reading chapters 31-59 of book 1 in the series, Inkheart.

Matthew Broderick became a household name thanks to John Hughes’ fantasy tale of a high school boy who can’t lose no matter what brash choices he makes. Acting as a love letter to the city of Chicago, does the film still resonate?

Expect for Charles and Asia to reaffirm their friendship to each other as they break down the heavy material in this book.

​Next week we will be reading chapters 1-30 of Inkheart, book 1 in our new series, Inkheart.

The Many Timelines of Trek. Time travel can be confusing. Okay, very confusing. And it's not just the "mirror" universes, parallel timelines, alternate futures - it's also the "regular" timeline that Star Trek series revisit on occasion which then changes and ... look, we need a corkboard and lots of yarn to keep track of it all. The trio looks at the recent episode of "Star Trek: Picard," its implications, and how other Trek series which seem to tangle up the so-called "Prime" timeline. We are not responsible for any headaches this discussion may cause. (if you haven't made cover art, might I suggest a screenshot from Agent Daniels taking Archer into the "time room" with all the dizzying events surrounding him)
