    Marie and I are contractually obligated to discuss any book with dragons on the cover, so in the end, we couldn’t avoid chatting about the publishing phenomenon Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (2023). While it’s not entirely to our tastes, we also wonder if the backlash to the novel might be for all the wrong … Continue reading Episode 64 – Wings and Things

    Episode 62 – 20,000 Lists

    Over 20 years have passed since I first read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne (1869-1870), so I roped in Cory and Marie for a re-read. We find 20,000 problems with the science and struggle through 20,000 lists of underwater species, but they never obstruct the fun. Additionally, Marie “does a Zork.” Download … Continue reading Episode 62 – 20,000 Lists

    We try to get the jump on Canada Reads by discussing Bird Suit by Sydney Hegele (2024), the first pick for our 2025 book club. This southern Ontario gothic novel tells a story of generational trauma in a tourist town that also happens to have some bird-people living nearby. Opinions are decidedly mixed. We talk … Continue reading Episode 60 – Avian Attire

    We decide to finally discuss something J.R.R. Tolkien-related on our podcast, but in the stupidest way possible: by comparing the 2024 animated film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim to 1980’s The Return of the King. This episode has been a long time coming, but as the orcs might say, where … Continue reading Episode 59 – Where There’s a Whip, There’s a Way!
