    Rose in Chains by Julie Soto

    03/03/2026 | 1h 26 mins.
    An incomprehensible world of magic, a blinding romance fraught with peril, and a bunch of filler in between: This week we read the fan-fic turned book: Rose in Chains by Julie Soto, and spoiler alert, Sarah loved it.

    11/25/2025 | 1h 43 mins.
    From the author of seminal legal-thrillers such as The Firm and A Time to Kill, comes the inspiration behind... Christmas with the Kranks? This week we read Skipping Christmas by John Grisham and all we want from santa is to give us back the time we spent reading this nonsense. Big thanks to our very special guest Johnathan Fernandez!

    Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney w/ Raúl Esparza

    11/18/2025 | 1h 50 mins.
    A very special episode with a very special guest, this week we read "Beautiful Ugly" by Alice Feeney and it was... confusing. Revenge, instant bestsellers, and murderous lesbians make for a wild and confusing ride as we read between the lines of this bad bad book. Special thanks to our guest Raúl and to our wonderful fans who support us over on Patreon!
