Reading Renegade

In this last bonus episode, Lindsey talks about the Children of the Red King series by Jenny Nimmo, more commonly known as the Charlie Bone Series. Meanwhile Molly does a deep dive into her childhood when she reminisces about the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer.

Stay all the way to the end of the episode for a very special announcement!

This is a tumblr post that explains a little bit why Molly freaked out.

In our second Pride Month special episode, Molly talks about the ups and downs of being Queer in the military during World War II when she covers Coming Out Under Fire by Allan Berube. Meanwhile, Lindsey gives a broad overlook at the asexual experience with Ace by Angela Chen.

In our first Pride Month special episode, Lindsey learns just how much she loves Bengali food through Hani & Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar, a YA Queer Fake Dating novel. Molly rhapsodizes about the lack of love angles in Iron Widow and the hysterical tiktoks of the author Xiran Jay Zhao.

Here's the link to Xiran's tiktok where they describe their book that Molly mentions.

With this spin of the wheel, Molly and Lindsey were hurled into quite the dilemma of choosing which movie was better than its book basis. Play spot the difference with Molly as she goes over the long history of The 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith; how many puppies were really there? Join Lindsey on her adventure of reaching the inconceivable conclusion that The Princess Bride movie is better than the novel by William Goldman.

The book that Cary Elwes wrote that Molly references is called As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride.

In our first non-fiction episode, Lindsey regresses into the childhood experience of reading Little Women she never had as she discusses "Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy" by Anne Boyd Rioux. Molly does a deep dive -ha ha- into the autobiography Soul Surfer by Bethany Hamilton.

Welcome to a wild ride, listeners! Get your drinks and snacks and strap in; this week we dive into Molly and Lindsey's favorite fanfics! Also, we have no edits! So bask in our unhinged glory as Molly talks about the link between two of her favorite Clintasha musician AU fics; We Together Make A City by CloudAtlas, and runaways are running the night by anothercover. Lindsey goes through the full five stages of grief as she talks about The Hurt and the Healing by The_Grey_Lady_Weeps.

NOTE: while Lindsey does refer to Grey in this episode not by the username The Grey Lady Weeps, Grey does prefer going by username in most situations.

In this episode, Lindsey talks about a book by one of her favorite childhood authors -this time it's actually for her age range- Cruel Prince by Holly Black. Molly gets Lindsey to curse her out in three languages when she talks about Forget Tomorrow by Pintip Dunn.

Today's episode brings allllllllll the feels when Molly covers the entirety of Sappho's work, and Lindsey finds a lot of uncomfortably personal parallels in The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace.

If you feel the need to skip Lindsey's portion due to the trigger warnings she gives at the beginning, skip from 37:03 to 1:04:04 to hear our lackluster Encyclowheelia pick.

In this episode Lindsey harkens back to yesteryear when she was a pathetic weirdo in high school as she covers Cinder by Marissa Meyer. Molly dives headfirst into the primordial soup (literally) that is Animorphs - specifically book one, Invasion - by K.A. Applegate.

Apologies for the sound quality for most of this episode; we're trying out some new software and it's a bit fiddly.

You can find the digital copies of the Animorphs books here, an article about K.A. Applegate's takedown policy here, the letter she wrote to the fans after the series ended here, and the list of sins Molly rattles off here.

We're back! *evil laugh* In our Season Two premiere, Molly goes full Horse Girl on Eragon by Christopher Paolini, and Lindsey contemplates never reading another book again as she covers Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass.

The article by Chris Winkle Molly mentions can be found here, and references to Paolini's AI art shit here, as well as why it's now illegal here.
