You know when you're reading the synopsis of a book, or skimming reviews and things just start clicking? We know that feeling well. Join us as we pull from the Jar of Random topics! This week, the Raven Sisters talk about "green flags" before starting a book. They also can't help themselves and throw in some "red flags" too. As always, the opinions we express are just that, opinions and welcome all different ideas and opinions.

If you got through the title of this episode, Congratulations! The Raven Sisters talk about Brandon Sanderson's new book The Frugal Wizards Handbook for Surviving Medieval England. One sister enjoyed it, the other two have...thoughts. Many thoughts. Join us for a full on discussion, not only about the book, but about Brandon Sanderson in general. Be ye warned! Spoilers ahead!

Tis the Season of giving...BOOKS! It's no secret that the Raven Sisters love books and bookish merchandise, but what was the best gift given? Were there any "bad" gifts given? Join us as we discuss book gift giving, and so much more.

On this special Thanksgiving episode, we express our personal relationships with books and reading, and discuss the benefits that come with taking time to read. Thank you to all of you who have listened and have joined in the conversation. We love all of you! <3

Side note: All three of us were sick during recording, so please excuse coughing, sniffling's, and sneezing's. Thank you!

We are all busy with life. School, work, families, church and other responsibilities. How are we able to fit reading time in-between everything else that needs to be done? Well, the Raven Sister discuss some interesting and fun ways to fit in that precious reading time.

Have you been recommended a book to read, and then you turn around and recommend it to someone else? Well, that is what we call a recommendation chain. Copy Write, Raven Bookery, 2023. Join us as we talk about books that were suggested to us, that we suggest to others.

We've read so many books and fairy tales have always been a go-to for all of us. But what has been our favorite retelling? Will Lissi share a Cinderella retelling? Will Samantha finally find a Beauty and the Beast retelling she likes? Will we ever get to Ann's book? Listen in to find out!

With all of our busy lives, when do we actually find the time to read? Join us as we talk about the random times we choose to read and can squeeze in a chapter or two. The conversation morphs into a somewhat competition of who has stayed up the longest reading. What can we say. We're sisters. Everything is a competition.

It's book club time! I hope you all read and enjoyed My Plain Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows because we sure did! Join us as we share our favorite parts of the story. Be aware, we are talking about the WHOLE book so take this as your spoiler warning. :)

You know when you're chatting with your book besties about books, your conversations just go off in random directions? That's pretty much what this episode is all about. Thanks to the jar of topics (now officially the name) we talk about two different topics, but it really turns into 3. I hope you have as much fun listening as we did recording!
