It's Halloween! Karen's finally done with the musical! We have two more episodes after this for season two! And we get to talk about John Saul's Second Child
Magical!
Next up: Carolyn Keene's Secrets Can Kill (Nancy Drew Files #1)
Oh my heavens, are we all in for a treat! We're reading Robin Cook's Coma and it is a true delight. We argue 1970s dude feminism, gynecological practices (also from the 70s) and learn everything about anesthesiology. Fun times!
Next up: John Saul's The Second Child
Greetings! Back to school month continues with Johanna Reiss' autofictional The Upstairs Room. Which is, on the whole, slightly less tragic than Jane Yolen. Cheers!
Next up: We're liars in the podcast, it's going to be Robin Cook's Coma to kick off October!
You've been warned, and now we're back to school with Jane Yolen's absolute classic The Devil's Arithmetic. You do not remember how brutal it is, but it's oh so important.
Next up is Johanna Reiss' The Upstairs Room, which after Devil's Arithmetic is almost light-hearted.

All the rape culture that ever cultured.
Great news everyone!
We decided to split this episode into TWO episodes, that's a full month of Sweet Valley High for your listening pleasure! In this one we read Francine Pascal's Wrong Kind of Girl (SVH #10) and learn about rape culture! And teenage suicide (don't do it). We also give Jessica Wakefield the Hare Psychopath test. Tune in for the SHOCKING results.

Next up: Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley High #10 Wrong Kind of Girl

Next up: MISTS OF AVALON PART 2 (but don't worry, it's shorter)
CN
Sexual and physical abuse, abortion laws, consent
Friends! It's time to enjoy a rousing discussion of basically anything BUT Tamora Pierce's In the Hand of the Goddess. Enjoy how Karen is entirely wrong about GoT, thrill to a conversation about furniture, wait for us to get to the book. Where we learn that there are entirely too many lesbians running around in fantasy and SF. Sure.
Next up: MISTS OF AVALON DOUBLEHEADER WHAT WHAT
CN: Sexual assault, nonsense.
Let's revisit a book from 1987! About the deep sea! And codes! And shrimp! It's Michael Crichton's Sphere, and we might even identify a few plot holes. Enjoy!
Next up: Tamora Pierce's In the Hand of the Goddess
CN:Racism, sexism, probably some pretty bad science.
Once again we gather, huddled around our phones for a wild ride with Kristin and Karen!
We're reading Susan Cooper's Over Sea, Under Stone (#1 in the Dark Is Rising Sequence) and talking about research, pemmican, Arthurian legend, and world lake depths. Thrilling. We also tease you about some upcoming projects!

Whitewashing of indigenous peoples' histories
Hello good listeners! We're back with a classic! Barthe DeClements' Nothing's Fair in Fifth Grade. A book that has a Library of Congress description that includes "serious home problems." We discuss fat phobia, the feral children of the 70s, and Karen advocates for a full hex on the patriarchy. GET YOUR OWN DAMN COOKIES!
Next up: Susan Cooper's Over Sea, Under Stone (Book 1 in the Dark is Rising sequence).
CN
Abuse, fatphobia, neglect, ranting
