• Episode 68: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
    Oct 6 2025

    Kicking off spooky season with a literary classic that shaped the gothic horror genre. There's so much rain and we try to add our own unique thoughts to a book that has already been over analysed for years.


    Expect, some wanking chat, us attempting to make everyone gay and as always Stars in their Eyes references.


    Happy Reading! Liv x

  • Episode 67: I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
    Sep 29 2025

    We're back!!!

    Apologies for our longer than planned break (and the likely terrible edit to explain why in this episode...) but we are back and raring to go!

    This week, we accidentally read literary fiction and...enjoyed it!? It's time for another "TikTok Sensation" but this time expect less dragons, spice and shadow daddies and a lot more terrifying existential-crisis inducing questions.


    Enjoy!

  • Episode 66: Arcana Academy by Elise Kova
    Sep 1 2025

    The author of the Air Awakens series and the Married to Magic series, comes the first in a suspected trilogy, maybe a duology about Tarot Card magic in an academy setting, with a fake engagement, a missing sister, an evil king, an evil brother, a heist and a bunch of other tropes along with some one dimensional side characters lumped in to make this 600 page book feel like an epic.


    Sorry guys, not the one for us this week - maybe it's time for us to lay off Romantasy for a while ey?

  • Episode 65: Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica
    Aug 25 2025

    Don't listen to this one if you're eating! This week we sink our teeth into (heh) a dystopian nightmare where canibalism is not only legal but industrialised. There are so many trigger warnings for this one so please take a listen to these before diving into the discussion. We're back in the bosom of romantasy next week so if this isn't your bag, join us for that instead! x

  • Episode 64: The Prisoner's Throne by Holly Black
    Aug 18 2025

    This week, we're completing our thoughts on Holly Black's Stolen Heir duology and boy are we glad to see the back of it!

    You will hear some pretty tough comparisons about the writing, genuine anger at plotholes and true despair at the unmaking (heh) of OG plots.

    I think you can actually hear Liv's depression consume her at one point in the episode. And alas, there is more hoof chat.

    Next week is more fun, Tender is the Flesh by Augustina Bazterrica!

    Aug 11 2025

    Remember last summer when we recorded a 2 parter about The Folk of the Air Series? Well good because this week, we're back in Elfhame and to celebrate, we've treated you to another double bill! In this first part, we chat for far too long about Oak's hooves and the possible wider implications these may have... clip clop, clip clop!

  • Episode 62: Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
    Aug 4 2025

    Join us this week for our first ever THROWBACK episode. Reading a book we both loved from the early 00s and hoping we still love it. *Spoiler Alert* It's as ugly as it's name and we're ashamed of our 13/14 year old selves for championing it so utterly. Young Liv and Amy have a lot to answer for...
