February 18, 2017 RTFB: Episode 06 - The Arcana Chronicles
Episode 6 is our first total Failure in the RTFB Project. Rachel rec'd a book and Elena HATED it. Fangirl conversion rating: zero. Rachel might make up for Elena's lack of enthusiasm though. Listen to to our convo after reading The Arcana Chronicles by Kresley Cole. These books have it all - post apocalyptic love stories, Tarot-based battles, visions, zombies, 80s style teenage fantasy montages...

February 11, 2017 RTFB: Episode 05.5 - Ancillary Sword / Ancillary Mercy
No surprise to anyone, we loved the Imperial Radch books by Ann Leckie so much that we gave in to our inner fangirls and recorded a supplementary episode covering Ancillary Sword and Ancillary Mercy. Listen as we celebrate the incredible badassery of Breq, discuss the best qualities of our favorite, Seivarden, and still struggle with pronunciation and telling those darn Anaanders apart.
