S3 Ep 10: Francine Pascal's Dear Sister (Sweet Valley High #6)

HELLO FRIENDS!

We're super excited to kick off season 4 with our new improved monthly release schedule, only a week late! We're doing Danielle Steel's Zoya, and oh boy-a, it's a treat.

Featuring the lovely Reed's musical interpretation.

CN: reference to sexual abuse.

NEXT: Beverly Jenkins' Vivid.

We're trying a couple of new things this season, mostly because Karen is lazy so while we may have fewer episodes, we will have the musical stylings of the lovely Reed each episode. Here's a little behind the scenes of how the music process gets made...

Coming soon. Season Four. Now with more Reed!

The end of the summer approaches! We're hoping you're all safe and masked up. This time we're looking at Christopher Pike's Last Act and asking ourselves WHAT ABOUT THE DUCKS THO.  Joined by the lovely Reed.

Next Up: Another doozy, Christopher Pike's Scavenger Hunt

Summer reading continues with another visit to the Sweet Valley with Francine Pascal's Special Christmas (Sweet Valley High Super Edition). We've got special guest Mark from brother podcast Trapper Keeper Confessions AND very special musical guest Reed!

This book has everything--Suzy Devlin, elf costumes, Secret Santas, MS ...

Next up: Christopher Pike's Last Act

You're welcome.

Hi friends. We've had several conversations about how we want to address the upswell of support for Black Lives Matter, and the hopefully sustaining efforts by white people to adopt antiracist practices.

To that end, we're expanding our brief to include the diverse books we missed as young readers and the amazing new books being published now. We're starting in September with Richard Wright's Black Boy.

Hello! Karen's getting back on track with scheduling and everything, thanks a zillion for the patience, etc.

We're kicking off SUMMER READING with the coma book from everyone's favorite psychopaths, the Wakefield Twins! Enjoy Francine Pascal's written by Kate William Dear Sister

Up next: Francine Pascal's Special Christmas (Sweet Valley High Super Edition)

Honestly, the most exciting thing about this book was the cover, and the hands down most exciting thing about this episode is that we've conned John into audio engineering for us! John has notes!

It is a crazy book tho.

Next up: Summer reading starts with Francine Pascal's Dear Sister (Sweet Valley High #9)

Oooh, this book was bad, my friends. We're reading John Grisham's The Pelican Brief and marveling at just how racist and sexist and otherwise horrifying the 90s really were. Amazingly so.

Next up, a departure from the usual to read a book from 2014, Lois Ruby's The Doll Graveyard, because how can you not.

CN: All of the worst things from the 90s
