The Bookish Roundup - A Podcast episodes

  • Ep. 71 - What Was I made For? Annie Bot by Sierra Greer

    Trigger Warnings - mentions of SA, abuse in a relationship

    A story of an AI sex robot and her owner. Not at all like Lars and the Real Girl, but kind of.

    Listen as we chat about how much Doug pissed us off and why Annie deserves so much better.

    An out of the norm, science fiction book for us to read but definitely worth the listen!
