🧐Episode 50: The Great Debate — Is Jack Endgame or Just a Distraction?

(Plus: Our Final Verdict on Team Islington, Team Roland & Team Emma!) ☕✨📚

It’s our landmark 50th episode, and the gloves are finally off! 🎙️🎉 As proud subscribers to @bethbrower and avid readers of The St. Crispian Gazette preparing for the release of Volume 9 💌📰, we are diving deep into the multi-volume mystery that has every reader of The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion completely divided 🧐💭.

This week, Kasie presents a passionate defense for Roland, arguing that even though Kasie feels strong about Jack, she recognizes Roland's huge potential to be the ultimate significant other 🕵️‍♂️💖.

Meanwhile, Rachel holds firm in her belief that Islington is the only logical endgame for Emma's journey 👑🏰.

We break down the clues, the chemistry, and the "undaunted" logic behind both theories 🔍☕.

And where do I stand? While Kasie and Rachel debate the merits of Roland and Islington, I’m over here advocating for a different kind of conclusion: the radical idea that Emma M. Lion’s greatest partner might just be herself 💃🖋️.

Tune in for a heated debate, fan theories, and our official, highly unscientific verdict on how St. Crispian's most eligible bachelors stack up as we count down to Volume 9! ⏳📖☕

What Team Are You? ☕💬

We want to hear from you! The debate is tearing our studio apart, and we need the listeners to settle it.

BONUS QUESTION – If you could be ANY character, who would YOU be?!

Leave a comment below and tell us which team you are on and why! 👇💭

☕📚 EPISODE 49:🔥 PANTIES, GOONIES & KEANU 

Three books. Three very different vibes. And somehow we ended up with situationships, Soviet-style underwear, and granny panties. 😂

First up, This Bird Has Flown: A Novel by Susanna Hoffs — a funny, romantic debut about a struggling musician getting a second chance at love and stardom. Kasie & Rachel: 3 stars.

📚 Susanna Hoffs

Then we dive into Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show (While Also in an Actual Cult!), the bestselling 2024 memoir by actress Bethany Joy Lenz, best known for playing Haley James Scott on the hit teen drama One Tree Hill. 4 stars!

🧛 Bethany Joy Lenz

And because apparently this episode needed MORE chaos… Jem and the Holograms, Vol. 2: Viral, a trade paperback graphic novel written by Kelly Thompson and published by IDW Publishing. 3.5 stars.

🧚‍♀️🔥 EPISODE 48 — ACOTAR: Graphic Audio🔥🧚‍♀️

Welcome back to The Spilled Ink and Coffee Show, where apparently we have decided that regular audiobooks simply aren't dramatic enough. 😂☕📚

This week we're diving headfirst into A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) by  @sarahjmaas, but we're listening to the GraphicAudio dramatized production, complete with a full cast, immersive sound effects, and cinematic music. 🎧🔥

And let us tell you… Kasie has NOTES. 👀📝

We're talking ACOTAR Books 1–6, the characters, the cast, the drama, the spice, and whether the GraphicAudio experience hits differently when Prythian is basically happening directly in your ears.

🔥 But the REAL question… WHO is YOUR book boyfriend?!

Rachel has already claimed Rhysand because, apparently, she loves a bad boy. 😂🖤

Then Rachel brings out the Library Assessment Questions and things go completely off the rails. We're tallying characters, answering increasingly unhinged questions, and asking the questions that absolutely needed to be asked… probably. 🤣

And let's talk about that SPICY 10XL GraphicAudio experience. 🌶️🎧

Have you listened to the GraphicAudio versions of ACOTAR? Did you experience the full-cast chaos? Did a character's voice completely change how you pictured them? And most importantly…

🧚‍♀️ WHO IS YOUR BOOK BOYFRIEND?

The GraphicAudio ACOTAR collection includes:

Episode 47: Beware the Cannoli! 🤌🍰

Can a bad plot point make you throw a book across the room, or are you a completionist no matter what? 📖👀 This week, we’re diving into the fine art of the DNF!

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

🏖️ Rachel’s ARC Review: Road Trip by Mary Kay Andrews (⭐⭐⭐⭐) — a beachy, fun chick-lit escape!

🎧 Kasie’s Audio Catch-up: The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave (⭐⭐⭐) — but is the TV adaptation worth the watch?

🌶️ ACOTAR Chaos: Kasie drops a massive cliffhanger while breaking down the spice, drama, and GraphicAudio production of A Court of Frost and Starlight.

☘️ TV Shoutout: Why Derry Girls on Netflix is the exact brand of pure chaos we all need right now.

🍃 Classic Corner: Kasie revisits Classic Haiku (⭐⭐⭐⭐) and why timeless poetry still hits.

💬 Drop your thoughts below: What’s your ultimate DNF rule? A 50-page limit? A chapter percentage? Or one too many eye-rolls? Tell us your parameters!

☕ Grab your coffee, protect your cannoli, and press play! 🎧✨

Beam us up, book nerds! This week, The Spilled Ink and Coffee Show is going FULL TREKKIE! 🖖☕📚

We’re talking Star Trek books, characters, actors, favorite movies, favorite series, techno-babble, fan theories, and all the Trek we’ve been reading! And yes… we absolutely fan-fic our way through some of our favorite Trek thoughts. 😂

There are SO. MANY. STAR TREK. BOOKS. 🚀📚 So grab your coffee, engage the warp drive, and go boldly with us!

By Keith R. A. DeCandido

Rachel gives this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars!

A collection that takes us behind the scenes—and into the stories—of some of Star Trek’s legendary captains. Naturally, we have THOUGHTS. Lots of them. 😂

By George Takei & Steven Scott

Kasie gives this one ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars!

This graphic memoir gives George Takei a chance to tell a deeply personal story about his life, identity, coming out, love, and the experiences that shaped him. It’s funny, heartfelt, honest, and absolutely worth talking about.

By John Scalzi ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 stars!

And then there’s Redshirts—because somebody has to address the fact that the red-shirted crew members NEVER seem to make it home. 😂

John Scalzi’s Hugo Award-winning novel hilariously plays with the classic space-opera trope of the expendable crew member, turning the familiar Star Trek-style “redshirt” phenomenon into a wildly entertaining sci-fi adventure.

And Rachel?

Rachel is a TREK SUPERFAN. 🖖🚀

So you already know this episode gets a little… Trek Trek Trek.

We’re spilling the ink on:

🚀 Favorite Star Trek characters

The Star Trek universe currently spans television, movies, animation, games, publishing, podcasts, and more—and the official franchise describes the universe as continuing to grow across all those formats.

Whether you're a lifelong Trekkie, a casual fan, or someone who has absolutely no idea what “engage” means but enjoys a good book…THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU.

So grab your coffee.

We’re boldly going… are you? 🖖☕📚🚀

Two books. FIVE STARS. Because apparently… we do math like this. 😂

4 ⭐ + 4.5 ⭐ + 4 ⭐ + 2.5 ⭐ = 5 ⭐

Does that math make sense? Absolutely not. Do we stand by it? 100%. 😂

This week, Kasie & Rachel are diving into the ridiculously delightful Vera Wong cozy mystery series by Jesse Q. Sutanto—and YES, you should absolutely listen to these books back-to-back on audio! 🎧📚

🍵 Book 1: Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers (2023)

🍵 Book 2: Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man) (2025)

📅 Book 3: Vera Wong's Vacation Hacks for Catching a Killer

VERA. Obviously. 🍵😂

And we have to give a huge shout-out to Eunice Wong, the award-winning, Juilliard-trained actor and highly acclaimed audiobook narrator who brings Vera to life. 🎧❤️
