September 19, 2021 Episode 26: Pleasure Activism
We read Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good by Adrienne Maree Brown for the book club. It was... not for us, but we're happy if it is for you!

Our next book is The Sword Dancer by Jeannie Lin.

March 21, 2021 Episode 24: Bye, Goodreads & An Unexpected Peril
Goodreads isn't a very good platform, so we're looking for other systems to track our reading. Let us know how you track yours! Our book club for March is Deanna Raybourn's An Unexpected Peril, and we get a bit personal on how the book touches (or not touches) us on the inside. We're taking a break from book clubbing for the fasting month, and we'll be back in May to read The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty... again. HOORAY!

February 19, 2021 Episode 23: The Fisherman King
How do you picture characters while reading? Teah and Nur find out they visualise books differently, and talk about how to answer when somebody asks for a book rec. This month's book club is Kathrina Mohd Daud's The Fisherman King, and it's less about the book and more about the feelings surrounding the book.
Next month, we're reading the sixth (!) instalment of the Veronica Speedwell Mystery series by Deanna Raybourn, An Unexpected Peril.
