  • All Souls Trilogy: The Book of Life

    In this weeks episode Maddie and Beth finally talk about the third and final instalment of the All Souls Trilogy: The Book of Life. If they're honest they really have no idea what happens or why anything happens in this book, they say 'I don't get it' A LOT, and once again struggle to keep up with the amount of characters. The layout is slightly different for this episode and the girls had to record not in person. If there are any audio problems we are so sorry, we hope everything will be sorted by next week *fingers crossed*.

  • All Souls Trilogy: A Discovery of Witches
    Happy spooky szn guys! We kick start October with the first book in the ‘All Souls’ trilogy, ‘A Discovery of Witches’. The girls talk about Diana’s awful attempt at avoiding magic, whether or not Matthew ran all the way to Scotland and how Maddie’s notes are a shambles (what’s new?). They haven’t seen the TV show; so their only reference of that is ‘a discovery of witches (crack #1-3), and of course they take a break from the podcast to watch them. There are some added spooky szn tv/film recommendations at the end for good measure and they discuss this months upcoming books.
