Out of Mesopotamia by Salar Abdoh

Andy and Dani talk about very serious stuff... and we're HAMMERED. Whoops. Anyway... we talked about this really, really heavy book. Did we once again read all of the best book of the year in the first 3 months? Maybe? Were we too drunk to talk about the devastation of war? Absolutely.

Andy and Dani finally learn about birds. Can we answer very basic questions about birds? Absolutely not! Does that stop us from trying to answer extremely complex questions about birds? Hell no! Nothing will stop us!

H for is Hawk by Helen Macdonald

Andy and Dani tame some birds! Uh oh are we reading all the best books at the beginning of the year again? Is Dani the best book picker we have? Is this Andy's favorite book of all time? Do either of us want to go buy a hawk?

Andy and Dani head on down to Verona and some other places as we reminisce about our relationships with the works of Shakespear. Is Shakespear taught to soon in school? How difficult is it to read? Will iambic pentameter always be in style?

Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

Andy and Dani meet Shakespeare's son. Have we once again read the best book of the year in the first 3 months? Maybe... Did Andy and Dani both cry in this episode? Yes. Yes, we did. Should you read this book? Ya... honestly, you should...

Andy and Dani take a trip down reading lane. What were some of the absolute book bangers from our childhood? How much money would Dani give Andy if she won the lottery? Has everyone finally finished Heated Rivalry?

Andy and Dani travel to Narnia!

Does this story still hold up?!? Hell yes it does!

Are there secret police that tattle on the whereabouts of at risk characters?!? Um.. well yes thats also true...

Is this whole story actually about the idea of believing in God and that everything you do you should do in his name?!? Oh well... uhh ya... I guess that's true...

Andy and Dani are VERY VERY excited! We finished Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and boy oh boy do we have thoughts... are they good? Are they bad? We WILL spoil everything from this season BUT we don't spoil anything for future seasons. How smart can we sound? Find out...

The Supernaturalists by Eoin Colfer

Andy and Dani go back to 6th grade. Everyone knows the best YA books murder a 14 year old within the first 30 pages. How emo was Dani when she was 12? Pretty damn emo... Does 12 year old Dani's taste it books stand up to time? Maybe? Will marketing actually be the downfall of humankind? Probably....
