      • Shadow and Bone Book-Club Read-Along: Chapters 19 & 20

        We are SO CLOSE to the end of Shadow and Bone, we can smell it! Even though we had some technical issues with this one, we had a great conversation about chapters 19 and 20.

        • Most of our listeners seem to agree they should have let Morozova’s stag go, and one of them might just be Julianna’s new best friend
        • We noticed a slight issue with the pacing in these two chapters
        • Mal and Alina are making up, but is it enough?
        • There might have been a more humane alternative when it comes to amplifiers
        • Julianna LOVES how petty the Darkling is being right now
        • People we feel bad for: Ivan, David, Genya, but especially Baghra
        • Nobody knows Alina has been gone this whole time. Where did they think she was?
        • Disciples of the Darkling: who makes the cut, and who is thinking of switching sides?
        • Fun segment: Return of the Mad Lib!
        • Question of the week: If you were in Genya’s shoes, what would you do?

            *SPOILER ALERT*  - This bonus episode contains spoilers for the entire Grishaverse (that means ALL the books).

            Leigh Bardugo recently did an interview as part of the PEN/Faulkner Literary Conversations series, and Geoff and Julianna were in the virtual audience. We decided to record our thoughts and share them with our listeners. Enjoy!

              • Is Mal shutting Alina out, or is he just learning how to communicate?
              • Butter Week sounds like a good time and Geoff stans the name!
              • Every time we encounter strange men in public in this book, they try to do something bad.

              • Can you turn an amplifier on and off once you have one?

                  We’re getting close to the end of Shadow and Bone! This week, it’s chapters 15 and 16.

                  • Geoff’s voice is worn out and Julianna’s hat is a squid holding a piece of toast (yes, you read that right)
                  • Keep an eye out for our first bonus episode covering Leigh Bardugo’s recent interview with PEN/Faulkner

                  • Mel (not Mal) gives us a possible explanation of how diamonds could have been used to heal Alina
                  • Mal isn’t perfect, but at least he isn’t manipulating Alina into being a human shield so he can take over the world
                  • We need to talk about the Volcra, even though it’s sad
                  • If Baghra is the one who is worried about you, then you know something is wrong
                  • Praying for you is one thing, but praying TO you while you’re still alive? Wild stuff!
                  • There’s a reason they won’t promote Mal
                  • Julianna has an issue with the level of technology. Can’t they think of a faster vehicle than a horse and cart?
                  • Enjoy the lack of communication between Alina and Mal because it’s going to last a while (but maybe that’s just good writing)
                  • Fun segment: Geoff’s Got Jokes!
                  • Question of the week: When Mal returns from getting supplies from Petrozoi, what is he wearing?

                      • Get your gowns ready because it’s time for the Winter Fete!
                      • Fedyor: Can he get it? Yes, he can!
                      • Julianna would have been okay with Adam Driver playing the Darkling

                          • Enter Zoya Nazyalensky: big mean girl energy that gets shut down surprisingly fast
                          • The Apparat is incapable of just walking into a room and having a conversation

                          • Alina’s path to sainthood and getting over Mal: how’s it going so far?
                          • We can’t help but wonder if amplifiers are just not a good idea
                          • The Darkling and Baghra have something going on, and we want to know what it is
                          • Achievement unlocked: Alina FINALLY gets some answers and unleashes her power!
                          • “Geoff and Julianna’s Friendship Corner” - because Julianna made Geoff watch “Camp Rock” and now everyone is going to hear about it
                          • Question of the week: Without looking it up, what do you think “sobachka” means?

                              • The Darkling just keeps messing with Alina’s head, and he might be doing the same with Mal
                              • Alina is a-lonely, but how much of that is really her fault?
