Episode 250 – House of Earth and Blood

House of Blood and Earth by Sarah J. Maas

Thanks to Porter Square Books for hosting our 250th Anniversary live show! And thanks to everyone who turned out in person or for the livestream! If you missed it, or just want to relive it without all that pesky visual input, here’s the audio-only version of that episode. Meredith Goldstein (the Boston Globe’s Love Letters columnist, author of books including Things That Grow, and Horny Faeries enthusiast) joined us to discuss House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas. Fortunately (for Renata’s parents, who were in attendance) or unfortunately (for readers), this book wasn’t as horny as some of SJM’s other works. Still, we had much to discuss. Perhaps most notably: does Sarah J. Maas think dogs should be allowed to vote?

Episode 249 – Crush

Crush by Tracy Wolff

 

We’ve come so far from our first episode, and yet we’re still talking about teen vampires with Carrie. Unfortunately, we’re still out of Stephenie Meyer content so we had to read Crush by Tracy Wolff. If the cliffhanger ending of Crave left you wondering how Grace was going to turn back into a human after getting stuck as a gargoyle…well, this won’t help. Thanks for keeping us running for almost 250 episodes!

Readers advisory: Here.

Announcement: RSVP for our live show at Porter Square Books Boston on Tuesday, September 17th at 6pm!
