  • Bonus Ep: Narratives in the News - February 2023

    It's a special segment of Narratives & Nightcaps! Don't miss Narratives in the News where we discuss narrative or novel-related things making headlines. This month's roundup includes:

    1. You've probably heard about the movie adaptation in-the-works for It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. Here's the headline we're discussing, plus an additional link because there was a lot of talk surrounding this topic.

        • 9: Layla - Part Three

          You made it! It's the final episode discussing Layla by Colleen Hoover. Wow...what is there to say? This was certainly not what we expected when we chose this book, but hey, that's not a bad thing!

          ALSO, we have a special guest this episode. Our book club is growing, and we love having a new voice included in the podcast discussion!

        • 8: Layla - Part Two

          Welcome back to second discussion about Layla by Colleen Hoover. This episode covers Chapter 10 through Chapter 16, and Brie tells a ghost story! Spooky spooky. 

          Honestly friends, we're not really sure what we got ourselves into with this one. Join us to work through those confusing feels and frustration! It's a wild ride.

        • 7: Layla - Part One

          New narrative! As a book club podcast, we felt we needed to dive into a CoHo novel given her popularity. So we're talking about Layla by Colleen Hoover. Part One will cover the beginning of the novel through Chapter 9 and The Interview, stopping before Chapter 10.  

          What's our nightcap? Well, 'tis typically more of a breakfast or brunch beverage, but don't let that stop you from enjoying a MIMOSA!
