city of bones

As we near the end of September and the air begins to gain that familiar chill of autumn, our YA book month is heating right the fuck up!

This #HumpDay we are reading the horny af, 2007 classic, City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, the first in the Mortal Instruments series!

*Stefon Voice* This episode has everything: 

A clutch two minute synopsis
Mae Whitman worship
A woman protangonist
Demons & demon hunters
Dated gender roles 
Werewolves 
Cucumber sandwich shaming
A traitorous twist 
And a Star Wars

What's a Star Wars you ask? Well it's when your two main characters have a steamy (debatable) romance only to find out they're brother and sister!

Listen to us work through the traumatic joy of this week's read, City of Bones by Cassandra Clare(y)!

Briana and Maddy discover that they are secretly part of another world filled with demons, angles, and human/demon/angel crossbreeds. In spite of fighting with and killing actual demons, both Maddy and Briana struggle to accept the existence of the demons and their world. Follow the two of them as they discuss the over sexualisation of female protagonists in film and television, the representation of homosexuals in the supernatural world, and farting. Yes, farting.
