    Temeraire - Part 2: Dragons should be able to vote

    Temeraire - Part 2: Dragons should be able to vote

    We read “Temeraire: His Majesty's Dragon” by Naomi Novik, the first book in a series of alternative history novels where the Napoleonic Wars are fought with Dragons. The second of a two-parter (we recommend first listening to the previous episode if you haven’t done so already!)

    [Note: At around 16 minutes we briefly mix up Captain Catherine Harcourt and Captain Jane Roland. Lawrence meets Harcourt first, and she is the one that he accidentally calls Miss. He meets Caption Roland later, and they get into a relationship.]


    Content Warnings
    Abuse/neglect of a dragon (dragons are sentient, and the abusive relationship is somewhere between a parent/child or owner/pet situation)

    Warfare

    Mild Sexism

    Year in Books: 2020 (An Ode to the Library)

    Year in Books: 2020 (An Ode to the Library)

    It's that time of year again... when your brain is mush from all the reading you've been trying to stuff into the last few days of the year, because you haven't quite come to terms with the fact that you won't reach your reading goal for this year and that good habit you tried to pick up last, oh, what, a month or two, and you're too ashamed to even admit your shame to yourself.

    Sound familiar? It's okay. It happens. 

    But, hey. We made it through this year. Good for us.

    And in celebration, we're learning from our #nopressure2020 and going into 2021 with wherever reading takes us.

    Happy new year, good bye 2020, and go read. 

    Oh, and we made a reading challenge for 2021!

    Vampires do Sexy Science

    Vampires do Sexy Science

    It's... our November episode! In December! Because reasons!

    We hope that our sporadic upload schedule (sorry about that) is made up for (we hope) with two amazing books - and our Christmas Book Box unboxing! If you have no idea what our Christmas Book Box is, well, listen to the episode and you'll find out. Easy peasy.

    Jess binges and gushes about the page-turned that is A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, the first book in the All Souls trilogy. Part foray into dark academia, part Anne Rice vampires do sexy science, this is a book that comes highly recommended.

    Vee has a moment with His Majesty's Dragon, the first book in the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik - the second Novik book read by Vee this year, and the third book by Novik covered by us this year! Are we... a Naomi Novik podcast? We'll get back to you on that.

    We also talk about e-readers, the joys (and necessity) of libraries in Covid times, and laugh a lot. Oh, and did we mention our Book Box unboxing?

    The Naomi Novik Polish Pierogi Special

    The Naomi Novik Polish Pierogi Special

    Fresh from the front lines of the Polish Appreciation Club, we bring you our Naomi Novik and Witcher extravaganza episode, in which we talk about how amazing the new Witcher show is and share our love (and criticism) about two of Naomi Novik's bestsellers. 

    Jess reads Spinning Silver, Novik's most recent standalone novel about a young moneylender who becomes entangled in the world of magic and winter faeries. Vee talks about Uprooted, another standalone by Novik that won the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 2016 because of its stunning portrayal of magic, misunderstanding, familiarity, and... not so much romance, but we get into that! 

    Other rambles include character arcs, bad romance, magical magic systems, rules of magic, surprising endings, and representation. 

    My Favouritest Book(s)

    My Favouritest Book(s)

    Our Favouritest Book(s)

    Welcome to our podcast where we rant about books. In this very first episode we talk about our favourite books - the ones that brought us to where we are today, the ones that we’ll never shake loose. Vee discovers she’s a witch and Jess confesses her childhood truths. A lot of giggling, a generous serving of awko taco, and a whole load of opinions all around. 

    Recommendations for future books welcome!
