Here it is! Our too-late episode about our weekend at BookCon 2019! We'll tell you all about the awesome panels we saw, all the new books we added to our TBR lists, and drop some hints about upcoming plans for the podcast. See the post on our blog for a complete list of the authors and books we mentioned in this episode:

Join us for the second half of our discussion of Shirley Jackson's horror classic 'The Haunting of Hill House," In which Mk can't remember the book that this book reminds her of*, and we all go down a rabbit hole discussing the many screen adaptations of the novel.

Edit: Mk is now fairly certain she was thinking of "The Veiled Picture" by Anne Radcliffe

If August was our drunkest episode yet, October was our most distracted. Join Jared, Erin, Mk, and Tony as we talk about horror classic The Haunting of Hill House in between bunny trails about ghosts, other podcasts, and cancelled television.

Join us for part 2 of our discussion of Robert Cormier's 'The Chocolate War,' where we discuss the reasons why it remains one of the American Library Association's most frequently banned and challenged books. We also go down a rabbit hole of Catholic Church hierarchy, and are all very unnerved by the word "raffle."

In honor of Banned Books Week 2018, we discuss one of the American Library Association's most frequently banned and challenged books, Robert Cormier's 'The Chocolate War.' Join us as Jared mistakes Jesus Christ for a high school senior, Tony disappoints his family, and we are all very subtle about our feelings regarding certain characters.

In this second half of our discussion of An Unsuitable Job for a Woman, Erin recalls a tale from high school English class, Mk magically reappears, and Adam talks about Agatha Christie a lot.

In our drunkest episode to date, we gather to discuss 'An Unsuitable Job for a Woman' by P.D. James. In his final appearance as one of the Usual Bitches, Adam alienates all of our listeners, then Tony has an interesting story about blood, and Mk vanishes between segments.

The second half of our Ramona Blue episode has us playing lesbian bingo and doing a lot of shipping and pitching some fanfics. We also solve the Bi Problem in under 20 minutes.

In this episode, Usual Bitches Erin and Adam are joined by Special Bisexual Consultant Mk to discuss 'Ramona Blue' by Julie Murphy. In part one, Erin decides she's dating one of the characters in her head, Mk can't remember which characters are in or out of the closet, and Adam had a very strong opinion about our protagonist's sister.

Part 2 of our discussion of The Home for Unwanted Girls by Joanna Goodman, where we continue to revel in the horrors of this period of Canadian history, speculate on/wish for events after the ending, and discuss ways this story connects to small parts of our own experiences.
