Part 2: The One Where We Scream About Dance of Thieves May 31, 2021

Show notes

The irony is that the second part is even longer than the first part, but we literally had SO MUCH TO SAY about this book. The funniest part is when Celine LIVE REACTS to Anna dropping the end and they talk about the next book (spoiler-free!) All of this in preparation for our book club that we're hosting THIS WEEK!

This is a book that Celine has forced everyone to buddy read with her- if you like historical romance, this novel is SO MUCH FUN. Anna and Celine somehow managed to get Jennieke on, and she was a straight-up TREAT. We can't wait to scream about this book with you!

This episode was SO much fun. We got to ask our friend Chelsea all about what it's like as a buyer for an indie bookshop over the past nine years, and the history behind Union Ave Books! She's met so many authors and knows so much about the publishing world, and it was so fascinating learning all that goes on behind the scenes when someone buys a book! It was so fun having her on, and she left a list of books for us to check out! You can find their store at https://www.unionavebooks.com/ and order from them!

Here's her list:

Legendborn
Cemetary Boys
Bringing Down the Duke
Girl From Shadow Springs

Serial Killers and Their Books May 03, 2021

Show notes

We're getting into the thick of it this episode and taking an unusual turn to talk about...serial killers! Don't worry, we're still talking books, just serial killers and their books. Get ready for a thriller of an episode as we talk about actual real-life murder mysteries, and hopefully we'll satisfy that strange fascination we all sometimes get with killers. Don't pretend you don't have it, we all do.
