A wee shorty episode while I try a slightly different approach to usual – less about plot specifics, more about my impressions, hopefully a lil bit less spoiler-y than previous eps.

Fun fact: I actually recorded this way back in April and my master's degree has slammed me that hard I'm only just editing and uploading it now.

I've since deleted all tiers on the Patreon, because I just wasn't delivering episodes on the regular and that wasn't fair on the patrons. I've set up a ko-fi account instead, so if you like an episode and want to shout me a coffee, you can flick a couple of bucks my way as a one-off instead of the mess that was my foray into Patreon.

Women's spaces, pay equity, and FTP – it's the second installment in the Tiffany Aching series!

Please bear with me while I figure out how I'm supposed to credit the hold music.

Oh boy this is not how I wanted this episode to go AT ALL I'M SO SORRY.

It's new character time! Tiffany Aching reminds me a lot of myself and Terry Pratchett is one of my favourite authors ever so I'm pretty excited to be covering this series.

It's my first minisode! I just really wanted to talk about A. J. Fitzwater's Logistics, so I put this together very quickly and I think you should also read it. 

This is not in any way a sponsored episode but here's a link where you can purchase the book in which I read Logistics.

New name! New cover art! Same everything else!

Take a break from doom-scrolling and listen to me talking about BIRBS - something I know very little about. I literally decided just before lunchtime that I was going to do this today, and it's as much for my own distraction as it is for yours. Sorry about burping into the mic. Sorry again for not editing it out.

This time we're going over the third book in Alanna's quartet. She has achieved her dream of becoming a Knight, defeated her arch nemesis, and is hitting the open road in search of adventure! But what is life like outside palace duties and constantly hiding one's identity...
