The Grim Reader

We're back! After a very short break for Christmas, we're back for a New Year's Day episode! Join all three Grim Readers as they discuss their New Year's Resolutions, how their Christmas went, and terrible pronunciations. Their books this week include the winner of the Prix de Médicis Étranger, "The Mars Room" by Rachel Kushner. Jessie Burton's debut novel, "The Miniaturist", and the very unique "My Year Of Rest and Relaxtion" by Ottessa Moshfegh. 

Join all three of the Grim Readers for the first when they are all actually together. Reunited and it feels so good! We've been teasing her arrival since episode one, but we finally have Chloe joining us for her first episode. Listen to hear all the chats about Dawson's Creek, our hatred of a certain billionaire, and all other random things before we actually get started on our books. This week we cover "Fun Home" by Alison Bechdel, "The Secret Life of Cows" by Rosamund Young, and "Daisy Jones & The Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid. 

Catch up with The Grim Readers this week as they talk about coming out of level five, the annual classic Late Late Toy Show,  and of course some Percy Pig content. Did you know that you can buy a Percy Pig plant pot? The wonder of modern commercialism. Their books this week are the bestselling "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig, and the highly acclaimed "Lanny" by Max Porter. 

Catch up with the Grime Readers this week as they discuss Nikki's viral sensation, the correct order to watch The Hannibal Lecter trilogy, a famous Irish author, and other funny chats before they delve into their books. This week they talk about "I Love You Too Much" by debut author Alicia Drake,  and a comedy by Maria Semple, "Where'd You Go, Bernadette."  

Join the Grim Readers, Nikki and Rebecca, on episode three as they say thank you to three important people. Nikki updates us on a well-meaning birthday present gone wrong, while Rebecca shares her own embarrassment of leaking episode one. Not only that but they chat about graduating online, movie recommendations, and the loud bang heard across Cork.  Their books this week are "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie and the highly recommended "The End Where We Start From" by Megan Hunter. 

On episode two of the Grim Reader, Nikki and Rebecca discuss their chances of winning the lotto, the recent presidential election, and the apparent ruler of all, Percy Pigs. Join them to hear their takes on "Conversations with Friends" by Irish author Sally Rooney, and the award-winning "Queenie" by debut author Candice Carty - Williams. 

Join The Grim Readers on their first episode of this exciting podcast. Nikki and Rebecca talk about starting a podcast in lockdown to keep them sane, their love of reading as well as Kate Bush's classic "Wuthering Heights." Join them to hear their imaginative stories for "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier and "Save Me From Dangerous Men" by S.A. Lelchuk before revealing what the books are actually about.
