Welcome to Season 6 Episode 3 of That Pretentious Book Club!

In this twisty episode, the club dives into With a Vengeance by Riley Sager—a 1950s, fast-paced psychological thriller that had even the smartest of us second-guessing everything.

Join the hosts as they unravel the backstories of a cast of incredibly dislikable suspects, all of whom played a part in the mysterious tragedy that destroyed our (incredibly badass) heroine's life. If you liked Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express, this book is almost guaranteed to satisfy.

Pour yourself a cup of tea, raise a pinky, and join the club for this discussion of With a Vengeance by Riley Sager!

In this episode of That Pretentious Book Club, hosts Spoons, Wheezy, and Gino are joined by fellow teacup Grandmaster Myla for a magical deep dive into Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston.

This popular middle grade fantasy quickly has quickly become a contender for one of the best books in the genre—ever. We're talking Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief level praise here, which, if you know this podcast, is the highest honor we can bestow.

Join us as we discuss what makes this story so special, the unique experience of being an adult reader enjoying middle grade books, and many a humorous opinion about the characters in this book.

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 1 of That Pretentious Book Club!

In the first episode of season 6, Spoons, Wheezy, and Gino join The Teacups to discuss ethereal classic mystery The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. Heralded as one of the first detective novels (despite the absence of any licensed detective), this book ranges from spooky to intensely intriguing, heart-wrenching, and back again. Also up for debate, is Marian Halcombe a feminist icon or a cringe-worthy pick-me girl?

Don't forget to pour yourself a cup of tea, raise a pinky, and join the club for this discussion of The Woman in White!
