This week, it's all about Greek tragedy and whimsical adventures about dreamers and the adventures they go on inside those dreams. Pretty rad, right?

Stick around while we discuss book characters we want to throw hands with, graphic novels, and for fans of The Cruel Prince, Stalking Jack the Ripper and Gideon the Ninth... we bring you "Vibe Check"! You'll have to listen until the very end to figure out what all that means.

It's officially spooky month and what's scarier than dealing with the healthcare system in the good ole' US of A? NOTHING! Except maybe the books Kristen and Laety are bringing this week.

Keeping with the theme, we also discuss the finer points of the Thriller genre, the most unhinged book protagonist of all time, and play a game where we try to guess the fake Kindle Unlimited title. The scares are endless.

We don't promote bullying here. Except when one of us hasn't listened to Hozier's new album. Then, it gets personal. (Stream Unreal Unearth on Spotify you heathens!)

We promise, though, there is book talk happening as well. We discuss very good (and very bad) mental health representation in books, another sad and pathetic man to add to our collection, and our wildly impractical novel protagonist jobs!

There is definitely some questionable fanfiction out there, but now the ladies of "My Podcast Knows What You Read in the Dark" are bringing you the worst of the worst: fanfiction for Disney Adults!!!! It really is almost spooky month.

Please stick around, though. We also chat about dog antics, a super chill Beauty and the Beast retelling, and we even teach you how to enjoy reading! But if you listen to us every two weeks, we reckon you already know how to do that.

Not every book you read has to change your life or be the worst book you've ever read. Sometimes books are just "alright" and there's nothing wrong with that! In this episode, we chat about these "just fine" books. If you stick around, you'll hear us talk about the most interesting woman in the world, our lack of self control in thrift stores, and our crystal meth reads.

Don't have BGE and skip this episode because you're too busy pouting that your crush doesn't like you back... have BPE (Big Peeta Energy) and show up for us no matter what!!

Books Discussed:

The Hour of the Rose by Christina Skye

We've talked about some pretty whacky smutty books, but what if we told you that in this episode, we go into the details of pirate sex magic? It's about as cool as you're imagining. Stick around, we also do a deep dive into Latin studies and more! Oh and also... we have a secret regarding Kaitlyn's identity. You don't want to miss it.

This week, the two books we discuss are on the far ends of the spectrum - and by that, we mean "really good" and "really, really bad". We also chat about time limits before calling it quits, books that fail to meet expectations, and play a game of "Guess the Fake Name" with Ice Planet Barbarians!
