This week, Deidre and Gillian dive into The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna. They also celebrate 30 years of Clueless—the iconic film that taught us about fashion, healthy debate, and deeply questionable relationship choices. Plus, they react to their queen SJM breaking the internet with nothing but a cryptic photo of a notebook and pencil, and unveil a brand-new mini segment: Book Boyfriend of the Week.

This super special summer episode wraps up with a dramatic reading of A Court of Cowboys and Demon Lords – a Spellbound Romantasy. Huge shoutout to Bergen Anderson, Supreme Sorceress and owner of Lilla Barn, for inviting Spellbound to her second-ever Book Swap in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago.

They wrap things up with a round of MASH, crafting a future for Mikey that deserves its own place in the Maasverse!
