You Know What I Like...?

In your life, have you ever worried that you're going to leave something unfulfilled, something unfinished? Fear not! We're all stuck in an endless cycle of reincarnation and will forever be interacting with the same people forever and ever. Suddenly, being slightly unfulfilled about the minor things doesn't seem so bad.

This month we talk about The Deverry Cycle by Katherine Kerr.

Come and listen to us talk about engaging with long-running series, a creator revisiting a world, and what do we hope will be resolved in our next reincarnations.

When you look at your bookcase - filled with books you've already read - do you only see a log of all of the things you've read before? We're here to inspire you to look at that bookcase and see the potential for all of the rereads you could be doing. To lead the way, it's time to talk about one of Mark's favourite series from his childhood.

This month we talk about The Saga of Darren Shan.

Come and listen to us talk about the need for emotional nuance, why you shouldn't feel shame about what you like, and we predict when Sophie will be crushed by her to-read pile.

A lot of the same complaints get leveed at YA books. Have you ever lamented that the main character is too bland? Have you ever cried to the heavens that the classic love triangle is no good?

Have we got the book for you.
This month we talk about Legendborn.
Come and listen to us talk about complicated feelings, picking what you want from myths, and redefining just who gets to be legendary.

Snow falls outside your window as you pull the kubanka onto your head. A branch taps gently on the window-frame, rhythmic with its  pattern and making you feel safe; it reminds you of being snuggled up in your mother's arms.
Suddenly the door busts open and everyone is dead, numbers on lists that were later lost.
Welcome to Russia following the revolution.
This month we talk about Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak.

You open up this podcast, reach inside and realise that your hand is actually your face, and you're grabbing your own nose. You sniff, and you inhale the egg that has been nesting inside your subconscious for the past twelve months. That's it. You're free.
Not sure what you just read? Just wait until you get to this book.

This episode is the definitive piece of pop culture about the Tudors. Forget Phillipa Gregory. Forget Alison Weir. Forget Six, the Musical. Hell, forget that Golden Globe-winning BBC series. Forget...wow...there really are lots of adaptations of the Tudor period aren't there?
Come and listen to us talk about how much murder is too much murder, the Tudor fashion trend we'd like to bring back and, most importantly, funnel-shaped genitalia.
Sorry about the day late upload. Life unfortunately got in the way.
