We read the very funny and strange Aetherial Worlds by Tatyana Tolstaya this week. There was so much to love that it was kind of hard not to just quote it for an entire 40 minutes. Also, tune in for the weirdest endorsement of kombucha provided on a book review podcast in 2018. Tolstaya's apocalypse book that Corinne kept name dropping was The Slynx.

The next book will be I'll Be Gone in the Dark, you're never going to get it from your library, so hopefully your local indie has it in stock because you're not going to want to miss it!

Well, Instagram voted and we read Swing Time by Zadie Smith. It was our first foray into her writing and probably not the best place to start. A paradoxical novel that somehow has a ton going on and nothing at all, we try to figure out what it's all about in this discussion episode.

Next time we'll be reading Aetherial Worlds by Tatyana Tolstaya. And after that, I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara.

We watched the Lifetime Original movie version of Lois Duncan's Stranger With My Face so that you don't have to, but maybe you should because you know what? We kind of loved it. We talk about why we don't trust people who wear shoes and pants at home, how to enter a public space to look for a friend, and cane safety.

Peace to you!

Next week we're reading Swing Time by Zadie Smith, read it and tell us your thoughts!

This week we're really putting ourselves out there (get it?) discussing Lois Duncan's 1981 classic suspense thriller about astral projection twins, Stranger With My Face. The book was a childhood favorite of both Corinne and Becca, so there's all sorts of nostalgic feel happening here!

Next time we will be reading Swing Time by Zadie Smith. Get it from the library or your local indie and read along with us!

Notes: The Jezebel article I mentioned that Lois Duncan does a Q&A in the comments of.
