February 13, 2024Iron Flame: "a filler book?"
One of the most anticipated books of the year... and it may have been a bit disappointing.
Rebecca Yarros' Iron Flame was the talk of the internet, so obviously we are sticking our two pence in. What you can expect:
How to Train Your Dragon

January 23, 2024 Divine Rivals & A Study in Drowning: "I think I hate ya books"
Another new section? How exciting for you!
This is The Lit List - where I read the Goodreads 2023 Award Winners and decide if they are worth the hype.
I can safely say the YA Fantasy section will not be ranking highly after reading both "Divine Rivals" and "A Study of Drowning".

April 24, 2023 Anastasia: "out of a reading slump"
Ok so the reading slump to end all reading slumps hit us. And my word friends did it hit us good. But we came back strong, so strong that we read a 600+ page book. Can’t say we don’t try and deliver…

Ever wanted to fall in love? Ever wanted to fall in love with your podcast hosts? Well now is your chance, in (less than) 28 questions you can fall head over heels. To be honest we aren’t that sure how interesting this is to you, but it was fun to do and it was a nice best friend moment so enjoy… or question everything.

February 22, 2023 Modern Times & Send Nudes: "double trouble"
We read two different books involving short stories and had a wee chat about girlhood, absurdism and just the idea of a short story in general. To stick to the theme we've kept the episode quite short too!
Now realising that short stories (or at least some of them) are bangers, we would love if you have any recommendations of ones you have read. You can DM us on Instagram (@livelaughlitfiction) to let us know, or simply leave a comment here!

February 14, 2023 Book Lovers: "a chat around the fireplace"
Happy month of looovvveeee. And what book is better to read than one all about a little bit of smoochy smooching, family relationships and saving a small business. It is of course the Goodreads win in Romance for 2022 as well, and it is Emily Henry so really can they do any wrong?
We are so excited to talk about potential dates... and introductions to a potential episode coming (Hinge fans stay tuned).

February 13, 2023 was House in the Cerulean Sea, now it's Bambi on Ice
We were going to talk about T J Klune's "The House in the Cerulean Sea", however after reading some of the inspiration of this work came to light and we didn't want to give too much airtime to this book. For more in-depth explanations on the Canada's Sixties Scoop (please follow the previous link to read more). For more links and one of the Goodread's reviews that go into more detail please read Kas's review through this link. And for more information on just one charity that you can look into, please have a look at The Indian Residential School Survivors Society.

I can only apologise from the ramblings of a disastrous love life, eating Bambi and a look forward into February - the month of birthdays, potential breakdowns, and a trip to Bari.

January 30, 2023 The Ocean at the End of the Lane: "not a pond, but"
Where to begin. Well actually, hi yes it is us again. We want to preface this episode with a link for you to go see the wonder that is The Ocean at the End of the Lane on tour, so go people book book book away: FIND TICKETS HERE.
Listen to us rave about the stage adaptation and question can you love a book more, or less, once you have seen it come alive in front of your eyes (or through your tears in our case). With some extraordinary music, some fabulous bookish chats, and for the first time no wine, welcome to the second book of the month: Neil Gaiman's "The Ocean at the End of the Lane".
