In this episode, we take a look at the “Read Your Color” framework and what it says about our reading habits. We dig into how different color profiles shape the kinds of stories people connect with, why certain books grab us right away, and how knowing your color can make choosing your next read a lot easier.

It's our latest book club discussion, Slewffot: A Tale of Bewitchery. This spoiler-filled discussion lets us dive into the rich world that's part of our history.

Connecticut, 1666: An ancient spirit awakens in a dark wood. The wildfolk call him Father, slayer, protector. The colonists call him Slewfoot, demon, devil. To Abitha, a recently widowed outcast, alone and vulnerable in her pious village, he is the only one she can turn to for help.

Together, they ignite a battle between pagan and Puritan – one that threatens to destroy the entire village, leaving nothing but ashes and bloodshed in their wake.
