Fresh Meat by Alan Gordon

Il Est Ne by Carrie Vaughn

The Perfect Gift by Dana Stabenow

Christmas Past by Keri Arthur

For next week, we'll be reading trying to talk about and finish the rest of Wolfsbane and Mistletoe so come on over and join us!

Welcome to December! This month, we're reading the anthology Wolfsbane and Mistletoe, edited by Charlaine Harris! As you'll hear, the first few stories were a bit of a mixed bag and we were all full of opinions and silliness. The stories read and discussed were

Gift Wrap by Charlaine Harris

The Haire of the Beast by Donna Andrews

Lucy, at Christmastime by Simon R Green

The Night Things Changed by Dana Cameron

The Werewolf Before Christmas by Kat RIchardson

For next week, we'll be reading, Fresh Meat by Alan Gordon, Il Est Ne by Carrie Vaughn, The Perfect Gift by Dana Stabenow, and Christmas Past by Keri Arthur.

We talk about growing up with books, which ones made an impact and which ones we'd like to pass down. It's overall quite lovely until things turn sinister at the end. Post-show listeners, I'm sorry.

Things get heated during our latest bookcast when we focus on Harry Potter and what we like to call The Snape Dilemma. Tune in to hear some cussing and fighting as we take sides. Hosts this week are Lulu, Ally, Helga, Tasha, and new host Decon!

We take a break from books this week and bring you a gaming podcast! Come listen to myself, Ally, Helga, Tasha, and guest Marc talk about gaming while we play Drawful, and Quiplash. It's a controlled mess. Also, catch Helga's video of us playing on her youtube channel!

Helga, Ally, and myself finally finish And the Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich! We talk about the ending and the entirety of the book, discussing whether the surprise (to us!) ending left us feeling satisfied or cheated. Come, give us a listen!

Helga, Ally, and myself talk about the main 75% of And the Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich! We discuss Gowan (of course), the reveal of what happened the night Silla escaped with Nori, and make tons of inferences that might be completely wrong. Join us, won't you?

Helga joins Ally and myself in dissecting the first 50% of And the Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich and man, when my friend told me last week things get fucked up in the next quarter, she wasn't kidding. We play detective trying to piece things together to find out the mystery of Gowan, the curse, and Gollum-mouthed Nori. Come give us a listen and let us know if we're just flinging wild accusations, missed something, or agree with our conspiracy theories!

Ally and I finally get into the first 25% of And the Trees Crept In by Dawn Kurtagich and boy, we have no idea what to make of any of it other than it's creepy as FUCK. This is definitely a book to be read in October and the author truly knows what she's doing, not just story wise, obviously, but visually as well. We talk about the sisters, the creeper man, Gown and his apples, and wonder at Nori's Gollum mouth. Join us, won't you?
