This week we read Landline by Rainbow Rowell, and our new cohost is quite vocal about it (we swear, he's fine). Join us as we debate the merits of this hallmark-movie-ish romcom of a Christmas story and discuss how NOT to deal with a sewage leak in a hotel.

This week we finish up Fredrik Backman's The Winners, and at least some of us have some regrets. We're wondering about the status of 1-900 numbers, discussing the importance of caffeine, and hey, we read half a book, so we'll also chat about what happens in Beartown.

This week we're starting on Fredrik Backman's The Winners, and it really seems like all Anna's are cool, right? This is a long one, so we're talking about Chapters 1-51 and really getting to know the two towns. Listen to us make guesses about what the second half will bring and discuss whose turn it is with the brain cell for this story that seems like it's all about hockey without actually being about hockey.

Don't forget your cigarettes, because we're off to read the teenage classic The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton. This book has been read for literal generations and really makes us wonder about just how much running around one can do after multiple concussions. Grab a slice of breakfast cake and listen in as we talk about the enduring battle between Greasers and Socs.

For our last installment of our spooky season, we read Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic. The vibes are good and spooky, even if our first attempt at reviewing this is a bit belated. Join us as we discuss creepy old men, creepy less old men, and creepy old women, and a shocking (for us) lack of fungi puns.

We're at the penultimate spooky season episode, and we have jump scares! We're tackling The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, a modern classic that has us questioning reality. Most importantly, we have a special guest host. He doesn't say much, but he really adds some pizzazz to our talk.

Get in, witches, we're gathering moonbeams! This week we read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna. This cozy spooky season read has us questioning the economy (and authenticity) of selling dirty laundry online, discussing all things pumpkin, and uncovering some interest in forearms. So brew some lucky tea and join us for a lighthearted cutesy read!

We're in our second week of spooky season, and this episode is all about Freida McFadden's The Housemaid. This thriller/suspense kept us engaged and interested throughout, and we're excited to talk to you about it. So cozy up on your attic cot, enjoy your three bottles of water, and we promise it'll be a good time.

This week we read Tender Is The Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica, and if you don't like tasteless puns, this might not be the one for you. If you're ready to sink your teeth into something dark for the kickoff to spooky season, this might be the dystopian horror you're looking for. So listen in as we chew the fat about our first October pick!

This YA novel by Angie Thomas is full of really difficult themes and situations, but we hope you'll join us on this journey through main character Starr's horrific ordeal and the aftermath. We're trying to find some fun where we can, and we get on a few soapboxes, but we're glad we read this and hope you are too!
