Ring Shout by  P. Djèlí Clark

Andy and Dani talk about a very very light topic. How messed up can people be? Extremely messed up. How realistic can a horror fantasy about the KKK be? Um... pretty realistic. How manipulative are white men? I think we all know the answer to that.

Andy and Dani get scared. Ever read a ghost story and then you realize the monster is actually just human kind and you begin to spiral because you have to think about how we live amongst these monsters and interact with them on a daily basis... forever and ever? Ya... Same...

Andy and Dani talk about Sleepy Hollow some more... Dani watches Sleepy Hollow for the first time. This is obviously Christopher Walkens best role. Someone needs to get rid of that gross tree. And is Christina Ricci hot?

Andy and Dani continue their descent into spooky season! Nothing could possibly be better than a romantasy book based in Sleepy Hollow right?! Nothing could possibly be like too weird or too out there right? Just a regular spooky romantasy. Also what did Andy do on the plane?!?!

Andy tests Dani on important dates in history... and she does super well. Like she knows every date in history ever. But really don't make fun of her, please.

Nonesuch by Francis Spufford

Andy and Dani time travel? So how petty do you have to be to sic an evil ancient boogeyman on a woman just because you kinda liked the guy flirting with her... and then, for an encore, rewrite history and ruin all of time for everyone? Apparently? Not that petty.

Andy and Dani finally read at their reading level. How many children's books can we remember? Actually, quite a few! How important is children's book artwork? Um.... VERY important! Also if your name is Todd get out.

Andy and Dani go undercover! How can this super hot movie star fall in love with this super plain, short, ugly bodyguard woman? It's just toooooo crazy to even fathom, right? RIGHT?!? This poor woman...

Dani finally fesses up to a lie she's been living with... Andy is obviously appalled and almost leaves the podcast immediately.

The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden

Andy and Dani finish their very cold summer series! Did Andy cheat in his predictions...? There is no other explanation. Was the third book the best of the series?? Maybe.... And do little mushroom men really save lives? Yes, yes they do!
