  • Binti

    Hannah struggles with pronunciation, Emma struggles with transliteration, Christina struggles with pop culture, and all Binti struggles with is staying alive after her ship is taken over by a hostile alien species. College is tough.

     

    This month the girls discussed Binti by Nnedi Okorafor.

  • Lanny

    No, this is not the story

    Of the genius of glory and renown

    But the story of a little boy

    Who was lost and eventually found.

    Sleepwalking, serial killers

    And the return of Ness

    Getting upset over hedgehogs

    This episode is a mess.

     

    This month we read and discussed Lanny by Max Porter.

    Content Warnings: discussion of animal cruelty and child abuse and neglect.

  • The Heads of Cerberus

    A burglary gone wrong or a burglary gone right? Hannah and Emma read a Morlock-free novel about time travel. Is this book a precursor to The Hunger Games? Or is the most dangerous thing about it how many favorite characters Hannah has?

     

    This month we discussed The Heads of Cerberus by Francis Stevens.

  • Infinity Son

    An irrevocable rift forms between two siblings. No, this isn't the description of this month's book, it's what happens to Hannah and Emma after reading Adam Silvera's latest book Infinity Son. Who will win in the battle of poor worldbuilding, wands vs guns, and the redeemability of murderers?

  • The Twenty Days of Turin

    A mysterious library, shadowy nuns, and a recorder concerto? The girls are excited to explore the spooky world of The Twenty Days of Turin. Well, at least two of them are. How spooky could this novel about an unexplainable murder spree be?

    In this episode the girls read and discuss The Twenty Days of Turin by Giorgio de Maria.

  • Upright Women Wanted

    Pack your toothbrush in your saddlebags and get ready! The girls couldn't be more excited to take a trip to the old west. That is, until they take a wrong turn along the way and end up in the new west, where the concept of "queer librarian spies" fighting fascists might not be as promising as it sounds.

     

    The girls read and discuss Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey.

  • Catch-22

    Where are the favorite books of yesteryear? The girls read an American classic and Hannah's favorite book. Or is it? Do the girls agree with this book's classic status? Or do they think it's the chocolate-covered cotton of literature?

     

    The girls read and discuss Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.

  • The Lathe of Heaven

    After the disaster that was We the Living, what happens when the girls travel to the distant future of 2002 in Emma's favorite book The Lathe of Heaven? Mostly just debates about the merits of whisk-holding aliens. And a brief detour into Hannah's irrational fears that has very little to do with the actual book.

    The girls read and discuss The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin.

  • 2019 Year End Review

    It's a new year, so what better way to start it than by talking about the previous one! The girls discuss books they read throughout the year on their own. Did Christina reach her book goal? How nerdy can Hannah get? And did Emma finally read a book she liked?

  • We the Living

    Have you heard? There's a rumor in...Petrograd? That's right! The girls take a trip to soviet Russia when they read Christina's favorite book. It's a wild journey that not even all of the hosts complete.
